I have a 2010 ford fusion se where the entire braking system literally failed while running my errands. The brake pedal went all the way to floor whereby i had to use the emergency brake to stop. Fortunately i did not hit anyone or anything. The local ford dealership eventually diagnosed the "hydraulic control unit" had completely failed. Reading online, it is my understanding that this has become a national problem…

One week later while driving approximately 35 mph i went to stop as i was approaching traffic and my brake completely failed, going to the floor once again. I tried…

I was driving to work and i went to stop at a red light and the brakes failed. My car has been at the dealership for a few days and they have replaced several parts but they have been unable to regain any brakes. I haven't had my vehicle for 3 weeks because no one can figure out the issue.

There have been numerous occasions when i hit my brakes and the pedal goes all the way to the floor and i cannot come to a complete stop. However, if i pump my brakes, my brakes usually work like normal but typically i am having to slam on them which is dangerous. This happens any time i want to stop. It doesn't matter if i am on the freeway or city street or even trying to turn into my driveway.

The brakes on this car go almost all the way to floor before they engage. I have bled the brakes, replaced pads and rotors and none of these actions resulted in improved performance. I have read numerous posts that the abs pump is defective. I am troubled by this as my daughter drives this car and i do not feel it is safe. This issue occurs at any speed in any condition i.e. Dry, wet, turning or going straight. This…

I am experiencing intermittent failure of the abs control module, essentially causing a loss of braking capability when driving. This occurs without warning. Brakes return to normal operation after shutting the vehicle off, and restarting. The abs 'resets' only to occur at a later date and time. The abs fails while driving at normal operating speeds. Both occurrences that i have experienced to date have occurred in…

Abs module seems to cause random loss of braking -- vehicle starts braking normally, then sudden loss of hydraulic and pedal goes almost to floor before some braking resumes. It's a relatively infrequent problem ( four times in 6 months) with no apparent trigger, and has happened when pulling straight into a parking spot, stoping for a stoplight, and turning off of a freeway onto an off-ramp. Weather conditions…

At random when i start my car and apply the brakes to shift the brake pedal will go to the floor. It will also not stop the car effectively for a long distance, even at 20 mph. The condition corrects its self, till it happens again. The car will also not stop quickly no matter what. A car cut me off and the car did not even have the braking ability to start abs braking with the brake pedal pushed as hard as i could.…

During my normal daily commute i experienced a terrifying and unannounced loss of breaking power. I was simply coming to a stop at a light in heavy traffic and lost total break response. I narrowly missed causing a accident with stopped traffic. I was driving responsibly in a light drizzle when it happened. I am told the abs module sensed loss of traction in at least one tire so it kicked on. This only made the…

Brakes went to floor. Took in to ford dealer, said it needed an abs module. Had them replace that, it was almost $1800.00, then brakes went to floor again and then told us it needed a new booster, that was another $800.00!! Brakes went to floor again, then took back and said can find nothing wrong. Cannot trust driving this car! Seems to be a very common issue on these cars. This is a company car i have had to deal…

After the abs engages due to braking on a slippery or bumpy surface the brake pedal will lose power to brake the car effectively. The pedal will have to be pushed to the floor and the car will only slightly slow. This has happened intermittently 2 or 3 times over the course of a year. The problem seems to correct itself after 5 to 10 minutes of driving and "pumping" the brakes. The local ford dealer claims it is a…

Brakes have on two occasions got weaker. When pressing on the pedal, it went almost to the floor and was "mushy" feeling. I'm an engineer and did some research and it appears to be in the abs hydraulic system. I did some testing and could not get it to repeat, including some off road driving putting the car into skids, etc. Neither could my mechanic find the issue. He had heard of this issue and said it is near…
