Had brakes serviced, new pads, rotors, etc. A few months later noticed brake pressure lost at times, pedal went to floor. Took back in to shop, components stated as ok. Problem persists. Noticed that it happens after a stop where abs is activated, then next brake activation has low pedal. Also seems to happen in reverse. Not safe, car stop time increases without warning. This is the abs hydraulic module problem that…

The abs system on my ford fusion hybrid completely failed as i was about to get onto the 4 1/2 mile long chesapeake bay bridge. There was no advance warning that this was to happen. I managed to turn the car around and drive it to the dealer who had the car for 3 days and ultimately had to replace the entire abs module at a cost to me of $2764.00. Thankfully, when this happened i did not have to apply my brakes in…

While driving the car, i hit a bump in the road at the same time as applying the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor and was hard to stop the vehicle. I had to pump the brakes to get the pedal to come up, i believe this condition is caused by a faulty brake antilock valve as seen in you tube videos. In the videos the mechanic blamed the fault on sticking valves contained inside the valve. I believe this…

At least three times on separate occasions, abs warning lights came on and engaged suddenly while there was a loss of braking power. Brakes were spongy and could barely stop the car. Trouble codes c00002 c0022, c1012, u0415 and u30000 codes showed. My mechanics checked my mechanical brake systems and all were fine and found no problem. My mechanic thinks a computer problem is the issue. I took car to local ford…

First my brakes were just going bad, which was strange because i don't think they were on for over a year yet, i started hearing grinding and a loud thumping noise. Than the mechanic changed brake pads right rotor and caliper, but the brakes wouldn't bleed. Than i took the car to ford and they couldn't bleed them either, and no one can figure out what the actual problem is. Now when i brake my pedals go to the floor…

The brakes engaged after a couple of seconds and after that they worked normal. This issue has happened 3 more times since this first incident and the pattern has always been the same. *js

I entered the cvs parking lot and made a right turn and proceeded to enter the open parking space . I stepped on the brake to shift to the park position when all of a sudden the car jolted forward accelerating in a forceful manner( like it had a mind of its own). I keep pressing down on the brake but the car would not stop and keep going straight and hit the fence on front of the parking space causing the car to…
