2010 Ford Fusion service brakes problems

“My brakes felt mushy for a couple days. Next day br a ke fluid dash light came on. brake fluid was so low couldn't see it. Went to autozone bought brake fluid .dot 3 per internet. Internet went on to share the fact thi s p r oblem was recalled. I h a v e none open says major safety problem tow xar immediately.im on s t at e assistance i can't pay to fix”

“We have had multiple issues with the ABS and HCU since we bought this car used a couple years ago. We've replaced the ABS Module and HCU and had Ford reprogram it and are still having issues. The brakes go out fully and I went through a red light. The ABS and Traction control and check brake system lights come on. We've spent a couple thousand dollars trying to fix this issue. The brakes have gone out before this incident as well around 95k miles and intermittently since. If needed, contact for invoices.”

“The ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) failed internally due to a stuck valve. The component remains on the vehicle and is available for inspection upon request. While braking normally on a public road, the vehicle hit a minor road bump, causing the ABS to momentarily engage. Immediately following the bump, the brake pedal lost all hydraulic resistance and dropped severely to the floorboard. The vehicle experienced an immediate, drastic reduction in stopping power and an extended braking distance, nearly causing a collision. This sudden loss of braking capability puts the driver, passengers, and other motorists at immediate risk of a severe accident. There were absolutely no warning lamps, error messages, or symptoms prior to hitting the road bump. The braking system functioned completely normally until the exact moment the ABS was triggered by the uneven road surface. The vehicle and its components have not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives. This identical safety-compromising failure mode (loss of pedal pressure immediately following ABS activation on a bump) is a thoroughly documented defect covered by Ford under Safety…”

“My 2010 Ford Fusion has been having issues with the ABS system/module showing the fault code, Service Advance Track System. After checking the recalls on this issue, I learned that Ford did have a recall for this make/model, recall # 19S54, BUT only from cars out of a certain plant during a certain time. I was told by the local Ford dealer as well as Ford Motor Co. that my vehicle was not included even though a recall was released on the same make, model, and year Fusion. I was told by the local Ford dealership that I was free to make a service appointment for the issue. I feel like this is a known issue that Ford is aware of and is using any means necessary to avoid taking the proper responsibility to service a vehicle under a recall for the exact same issue.”

“The vehicle turns on the traction control and ABS lights, automatically makes a bell sound as a warning, and stops braking, regardless of your speed at that moment.”

“The brakes went almost completely out- having to push the pedal all the way to the floor. All ABS and braking lights illuminated in the dash. There is limited stopping power. The car has become undriveable, even after replacing the HCU and abs system. The dealership has been unable to reprogram the brakes. This exact issue falls under recall 19s54, but Ford claims my problem does not meet the requirements- despite my vehicle having been assembled at the same facility (Hermosilla) and within the same date range as the recalled vehicles. I have receipts and documents to show all attempts at fixing the issue.”
