I've had constant brake issues since i got the vehicle. I strongly believe the recent ford brake recall is more widespread than is currently believed as i have the exact issues described in the recall but my vehicle is supposedly not affected. I fear for my safety and the safety of other ford owners who might be affected by this significant brake issue.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 ford fusion. While driving approximately 35 mph in dry conditions, the contact applied the brake pedal and the anti-lock braking system engaged. The contact also stated that the abs only worked when the vehicle was driven in dry conditions and not when the pavement was wet. The contact also noticed that when the abs warning indicator was illuminated, the abs worked. When the indicator was…

Brake pedal goes halfway to floor after starting engine. Both the brake pedal and gas pedal become equal in distance from the floor of the car making it very easy to be hitting the gas and brakes at the same time.

I own a 2007 ford fusion with 122,000 miles. About a month ago i had an issue with the braking system. The first occurrence happened during a 'panic' stop when i was cut off in traffic. The abs activated, then the pedal went to the floor. I had to drive the vehicle home with the brake pedal traveling much further down than normal. I took my vehicle to the brandon ford service department in florida. I was advised…

When driving slowly (15-25 mph) over a rough stretch of railroad tracks in the city, i applied my brakes only for the pedal to hit the floor to hear a grinding sound when i hit the bump. I had no ability to stop my car for 10-20 feet until i pumped the brake pedal enough to regain pressure. This has happened twice in the last 4 months and four times in the last 3 years. The pedal eventually regains pressure, but…

Driving in a residential hilly area, i drove over a small bump heading towards a red light. My breaks immediately went soft and took excessive force to get the car to stop with the break pedal to the floor. We went about 15 feet before we were able to come to a complete stop in the middle of the intersection. Breaks are now soft and unable to drive without excessive force on the breaks. *tr*jb

My car just rolled off my driveway last night and took down my neighbors fence. I'm just glad it didn't hit the house and anyone got hurt. My car was locked and ebreak was engaged.

Two incidents while trying to stop on a wet road. One involved hitting a deer at about 50 mph. One involved hitting a tree about 45 mph. Tried to stop but the brake pelal went completely to the floor with no resistance and zero braking. These brakes are faulty. If the brakes were working correctly neither incident would have happened. These cars are potential death traps. There was no police reports made because…

I purchased the car new and have never had any brake issues. Yesterday driving on compact snow and ice at about 25 mph the anti-lock brake system engaged while slowing to start a turn. The brake pedal went almost to the floor before the abs engaged a second time. At this point i was already passed the intersection. Since this happened the brake pedal is very spongy and will travel almost to the floor before any…

Brake pedal goes soft with long travel without warning. Very intermittent but very scary when it happens because you aren't expecting it. No warning. Sometime weeks or a month between events. Forums seem to pinpoint abs system. Today, my wife came close to running down children in a crosswalk. Refuses to drive the car any more which requires me taking her to work etc. Not good situation. Fix is approx 1000.00 and…

Driving down a hill and the brake went all the way to the floor and almost couldn't stop, had everything checked with the brakes and fluid and everything was fine with brake fluid level, brake pads but nothing has been remedied to fix this problem seems to be an abs module and there have been many complaints about this problem. To take it to a dealer and have them fix this ongoing problem with this make and model…

Driving down a bumpy gravel road (some call it washboard), i went to apply the brakes and it was like the brakes were not there; the brake pedal went all the way down to the floor. I pumped the brake pedal and that helped. We did take the car to a mechanic, but by that time, the brakes had come back. He could not figure out what was wrong. Another time, coming up to a light when it turned yellow, i braked, the abs…

I was driving my car in the city and came to a curved lane. I stepped on the brakes to slow down so that i could make a slight turn but don't remember the car slowing down. I then tried to stir the wheel so that i would not crash. At this point, i might have over corrected the stirring wheel leading the car to slid as the road was wet. I ended up hitting a pole.

Any time the abs system engages, break pressure is lost for extended periods of time, resulting in longer stopping distances. Usually the only way to get break pressure back is to turn the car off, let it sit, and pump the breaks hard several times before pressure is regained, sometimes not for several days. I have not yet been in an accident due to this but feel it is only a matter of time. It first occurred last…

Brake pedal goes to the floor, and is undrivable due to safety issues. This problem has been going on for months with this vehicle, we have spent several thousand dollars, numerous parts for the abs brakes and oil leaks continually coming from the master cylinder. Problem never fixed, several mechanics could not figure out after replacing everything with the brake line and still brake goes to the floor. Brakes bled…

My father owns a 2007 ford fusion for about 5 years. About a year ago, he began experiencing soft brake pedal issues. The brake pedal did not have pressure and go all the way down the floor. The braking distance is also poor. The car travels significantly farther and takes longer before it come to a complete stop. My father took the car to a local licensed mechanic for a routine brakes service. The brake pads and…

The abs braking system on the car is defective and essentially has made the car unusable. The abs module is apparently no longer sold and only available from a salvage yard. I have brought this vehicle to the ford dealership for repair and even with two separate abs modules replaced the brakes still do not work properly. They have no proper repair available.

Depressed brake pedal as i approached a parking spot at a very slow speed; the pedal went to the floor; the car did not stop. Backed up off of a grassy area and the brakes worked fine. The brakes have worked fine since than. Checking various vehicle complaint sites indicate the trouble is very likely the abs hydraulic control module. I believe that ford is aware of this problem.

The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage and vin…

Driving on slippery winter northern illinois road, stepped on brakes when approaching a stop light. Abs kicked in (seemed to be right front wheel), then brake petal went to the floor and could not stop, almost hit the car ahead of me. Brake petal remained very soft and easily went to the floor board for the next couple of days. After that, it went back to normal. I am convinced an abs valve stuck, so i went to the…
