    My car is doing exactly what the current recall is for, but the dealership said my car isn't under recall. I am having to press my brakes much harder in order for the braking to engage. I was driving to and from work and had to press my brakes all the way down before it would start to eventually slow down.

    My son was driving & preparing to stop at a stop sign. It was a road he was very familiar with. The brake pedal went to the floor. He attempted to slow the vehicle & turn the corner by swerving up an embankment slightly. He realized it wouldn't slow. He pumped the brakes several times with no brake response. He chose between a garage & a tree to stop the vehicle. He headed for the tree. In insurance investigation,…

    Received a recall notice for a problem i have had with my fusion (abs module valve stuck open) which means the brakes work and lockup only when pressed all the to the floor. Went to 3 ford dealers and none will help because the recall has no "solution yet". One tech told me to deal with a bad brake pedal and don't drive fast. That's not safe for my wife or child in the vehicle. Ford says parts may be available in…
