    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…

    I am fed up with my fusion having low pressure light coming on and having to carry an air compressor at all times because the low pressure light comes on any time and you don't have much time to get air into it before other issues start.

    Lug nuts are stripped. The dealer stripped them when rotating the tires. The lug nuts are not chrome plated, they have a shiny tin coating over the base metal. When i took it to a tire place they said they had trouble removing the wheels. I had to purchase new ones from ford. I have the old ones (see photo), see also https://www.carcomplaints.com/news/2017/ford-swollen-lug-nuts-class-action-lawsuit.shtml

    Power steering has gone out. The tire pressure light has come on and been on. Luckily it has happened at home so the car was not moving. However to fix this known issue the cost is approximately 1500. I have been making payments on this vehicle and have not been able to drive it due to the cost to fix it. I am aware that this is a known issue not only on my car but fusions in general.
