I was braking across rough (experience 1: march 2017) and icy (experience 2: december 2017) terrain when my abs reacted to the situation. After both experiences, my brakes became "squishy" and i was unable to get a complete immediate stop. It took longer to brake, and i had to push the pedal to the floor in order to come to a complete halt. After putting the car into park, and turning the engine off and back on…

In my 2010 ford fusion sport, my brakes go soft and spongy any time the abs gets activated. Afterward, i have to push the brake pedal all the way to the floor to get any braking. If i pump the brakes several dozen times, it comes back to normal, but the main problem is when it unexpectedly goes spongy while driving. It is a collosal safety issue. I have had the dealership attempt to fix this several times by…

When driving brakes became very weak almost to the floor, we replaced the brakes with still no good pedal. Then we replaced the master cylinder, once it was replaced it would not bleed, and still no brakes. We called the ford dealer and was advised the fusions were difficult to bleed once master cylinders were replaced. We sent it out for diagnostics at the ford dealer and were charged $98.00. They called and said…

Following a braking event that engaged the abs system, the brakes felt soft or spongy. After depressing the pedal fully a few times, the issue seemed to resolve. Another abs event occurred a few weeks ago, and this time depressing the pedal did not resolve the issue. The soft brake feeling has persisted for weeks. When depressing the brake pedal, there is initially a small and brief deceleration of the car, followed…

After the car activates abs, when abs is disengaged the brakes are "soft". When depressed, they feel like normal resistance, then are soft and finally stop the car after fully depressing the pedal. I hit a small washboard bumpy stretch of road while depressing the brake, abs kicked in and immediately went off. Brakes then soft.

When in motion as well as when stopped, the brake pedal becomes soft and i have to press the pedal down to the floor to fully engage brakes. It is difficult to control deceleration because the pedal resistance changes in the middle of braking, often increasing the stopping distance. When in motion and decelerating, the brake pedal resistance will suddenly become softer and the car will stop decelerating unless i…

Vehicle showed intermittent "service advancetrak" light and would intermittently go into full abs mode at low speed on smooth, dry pavement. The abs part of the problem caused us to miss several turns for lack of effective braking and, at least once, to end up four feet past a stop sign and into the crossing lane of traffic. The ford dealer replaced the l/r abs sensor twice but the problem recurred 9 months and then…

The brakes in my ford fusion 2010 have been going loose while driving. The pedal would go all the way to the bottom suddenly i almost had an accident several times. Two mechanics told me it's a faulty abs pump. I parked my car because i'm afraid i would kill myself if i drive it on the highway. This part is very expensive to fix please investigate this issue because it's occurring with a lot of fusion owners.

BRAKES BECAME SPONGY AFTER ABS WERE ACTIVATED

Service Brakes
The brakes seem to lose pressure, so that the pedal has to be pushed almost all the way to the floor before grabbing. It takes longer to stop than it should in those instances. This has happened on several occasions, but is not a consistent problem. The ford dealership says it can find no problem. It seems as if it could lead to a serious accident if it occurred at the wrong time. It occurs when driving and trying…

The brake pedal on my ford fusion sport went soft almost to the floor when coming to an intersection in cold slippery conditions. This condition happened twice within two weeks. I had the car checked out by a ford dealer and they found nothing. It happened again two weeks later slowing down (40mph) approaching a sharp corner. This time the brakes did not recover. The dealer is changing the hydraulic control unit for…

My 2010 ford fusion has a faulty brake system. While driving on a highway, the vehicle's brake pedal suddenly became unresponsive and needed to "hit the floor" to get the vehicle to stop. The brake pedal felt "spongy" and did not seem to be applying the typical pressure as before. The brake system was inspected by a ford dealership and recommended new brake pads, rotors, and calipers(although the vehicle had been…
