While driving my 2007 ford fusion approximately 35 miles an hour and approaching a stoplight, i applied the brakes to slow down and the car passed over a rough patch of road with several potholes. The brake pedal became soft and moved down towards the floorboard and the car coasted without continuing to slow down. After releasing the brake pedal and then applying the brakes again, the pedal was still soft and the…

Brakes are mushy after the anti-lock brakes engage. This happened before, months ago, and the mushy feeling went away in a few days. The problem just happened again and the brakes are still mushy a day later. The first time was due to snow on the road. The second time due to moss and rain on a gravel driveway on a steep hill.

While driving down a city road this morning at 40 mph, i applied the brakes as i approached the intersection. There was a red light and i was unable to decelerate normally or completely stop. The brake pedal depressed completely to the floor and i had very little control. I pumped the brakes feverishly. The brake pedal was very soft and hit the floor quickly. If it had not been so early in the morning, i would have…

When hitting a bump in the road while braking or after braking quickly and hard, brake pressure/resistance is lost--not completely, but disarmingly noticeable. I have to pump the brakes once to feel more pressure/resistance. My fusion has experienced this problem for years. I'm pretty sure i reported it to the service department of harrold ford in sacramento ca years ago and that i was told the brakes function as…

When attempting to stop my 2007 ford fusion the brakes would lose functionality in varying degrees. Sometimes the pedal would get soft but i would be able to stop the car by pressing harder and other-times the brakes would fail to work all together. When the brakes would fail they would regain functionally after about 5-10 minutes. When i inspected the brake system there was no evidence of leaking brake fluid or…

This has been ongoing for over a year. The most recent event was 12/16/2016. After abs engages for any length of time, brakes go soft and there is no braking power until the floor, when they finally activate. Pumping the brake itself a few times can temporarily harden the brakes. What fixed it the previous year [until another abs event] was doing a few hard emergency stops at a slow speed. This is no longer working…

My son was driving the car in the city. He went over a speed bump at slow speed and as soon as he came off the speed bump, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. He was able to pump the brakes to stop the car. He got out and checked for leaks or other problems and found none. He tested the brakes driving slowly and they seemed to be working fine, so he drove it home. We had it checked by our mechanic but…

After hitting the brakes and engaging the abs system, the brakes have now gone "soft" as the hydraulic control unit has not reset itself and the backside valve remains open. I now must press the brakes about 90% of the distance to the floor every time in order for the vehicle to stop appropriately. After some basic research this seems to be a common issue with 07 and 08 ford fusions. The mechanic cannot figure out a…

The brake pedal has gone soft, to the floor, several times during normal braking in the last four months. It greatly increased stoping distance. It seems to have occurred on snow covered or rough spots on the highway. All of the events occurred on asphalt paved roads. It self corrects fairly quickly. The problem seems to be the same as reported by other owners of 07-09 fusions and milans.
