Ford Fusion Change Vehicle

"ABS light came on. Took to service center. Mechanic said the breaks worked fine but ABS was not operational. Made appointment to Fix ABS. Took car in. Mechanic fixed ABS"

"Needed to replace the control box for the braking system, 1700 dollars"

"I have had an ABS failure. The pedal went to the floor and the light stayed on. The dealer could find nothing wrong. I believe he reset the ABS module or cleaned the wheel sensors, they said they did not. No TBS on this issue. I believe Ford has a serious problem. I have talked to other Fusion owners who have had the same issue"

"The ABS module has malfunctioned, and the warning light is on. Repair estimate is $1,000, so I have elected to not fix"

"ABS was used while sliding down ice hill. After activation stopping was severely diminished. See Federal Highway safety investigation opened December 2016"

"The abs light came on was told that would have to replace pump and would be well over 1000 dollars for just part"

"Ford did not have parts to fix problem. Had to find parts from old wreck. Ford installed parts but no warranty."

"Finally recalled from Ford but took way to long."

"I was slowing dow as I ran over a manhole cover and touced the brakes 35 mgh. The antilock brakes kicked in the the brakes then went down to the floor board and out for a few seconds. Then over a period of 3 months it kept happening every time I touched the brakes while hitting small bumps. I took it to the dealership and they told me it was (a part that went bad) and I paid for a used under warranty part. 800.00 for the part and within a few weeks the brakes were once again doing the same thing. I took it back to the dealership again and they proceeded to tell me that nothing was wrong with the brakes. Over and over the problem kept happening. My spouse worte to NTSB and informed them of the issue. Approx 6 months later there was a recall on the braked for the exact problem I was having. We called Ford's in CedaR Springs MI-where we bought the car and were informed that while there was a recall there was no fix yet and we would have to wait. We have been waiting for almost a year for a fix and still are for it to be repaired. Recently I had another driver pull out in front of me and had to hit the brakes hard. When I did so the brakes did went to the floor board and I came within inches of having a major car accident. My spouse was so upset he called Vanderhydes Ford Cedar Sprins annd informed them of the incident. And once again we wer informed that there is no fix for the car as of yet. Still waiting for a repair and was informed that they would not refund me the money for the part I paid for until they have a fix. So I am out 800.00 and still have a car that is dangerous to drive and the problem is getting worse."

"I experienced long brake pedal travel. My independent mechanic could not find the problem. Now I am in the recall process for an ABS valve, pending available parts."

"ABS control valve unit had to be replaced because of failure in control unit which would cause brakes to dramatically fade with peddle nearly going to the floor! This control valve was replaced at my cost Now there's an outstanding recall for the replacement of this part, but Ford does not currently have the part(s) to perform the recall work! Same problem with the replacement of the passenger side air bag! Ford sent out the recall notice, but they didn't have the part(s) to replace the air bag unit! It took month's to get this Major safety issue addressed!"

"The ABS system has failed. Then in turn the brakes did not work. Ford will not fix it for free. The only alternative is to disable the system then the brakes work fine. This is an electrical issue. It happened 3x before we discovered the cause"

"The hydraulic pump stopped working and had to be replaced"

"calipers not releasing pressure causing premature wear"

"bad design ,they freeze up to often and have to be replaced to often"

"Rear caliper stuck, caused brake wear"

"Calipers froze. Had to replace rotors, pads, etc"

"Break failure due to manufacture defect Switches to stop the break fluid."

"The rear brake rotors and pads had to be replaced because they were less than the state requirement. Virginia requires a state inspection of cars and trucks every months months."

"I purchased this car in 2015..it had 61000+ miles. Front brakes lasted until March this year (2020). Just waited too long to replace the pads so there was grinding on the rotors."

"needed new rotors"

"does not fully release"

"Both front and rear brakes have needed to be changed every 9 months. This cannot be just from aggressive driving or poor brake choice."

"Early brake wear on rear brakes"

"Needed rear brakes replaced at 25000 miles. We have driven Fords for 40+ years and never needed brake replacement before 50000 miles"

"We seem to have had many brakes repairs in the 6 yrs we've owned it . Approx 5 brakes and 3 times rotors and once the drums"

"The rear brakes wore prematurely and had to be replaced at approximately 66,000 miles. The rotors were damages and the repairs cost me over $300 at the dealer"

"rotors very unevenly worn"

"Waited too long to replace pads. Had to coat rotors. Working fine now."

"Brakes and Rotors are now procured almost exclusively from China by all car manufacturers. They cannot be be machined as in the past and do not last as long"

"front rotors caused excessive vibration when braking; rotors badly rusted and had to be cut off"

"The struts had to be replaces and the cost exceeded ten thousand dollars for the replacement, five thousand for the first iteration and again five thousand for the second. The car hasn't had any other major problems, but I am not happy about the cost of those suspension elements, that is an excessive cost for a car that has been cared for by the dealer that it was purchased from, and although I was generally happy with their service I am not happy with the fact that those struts were as costly as it happened to be to replace them."

"Lower control arms require replacement"

"I had to replace the struts on both sides of the front end and it was costly. About 10k total, and I think that it was excessive, but there is no alternative when I choose to use the dealership for all of the maintenance and repair activities on the car. I bought it new and the dealership took care of it for me for everything, right up until the owner retired and closed the dealership."

"Front shocks were leaking. Replaced shocks as well as springs on front"

"Must use motorcraft parts for any of these issues or car will not drive the same."

"The rack had to be replaced at about 65,000 miles, which I consider to be very much premature"

"I'm not concerned. We live on a windy road and have a steep driveway. When cars get old, steering components wear due to the former, and motor mounts and transmission mounts wear due to the latter. The car handles beautifully and has been quite satisfactory"

"Car failed Missouri state safety inspection due to bad inner tie rod end"

"Bad wheel bearings"

"The passenger side rear wheel bearing needed replacement"

"The airbags were recalled and needed to be replaced by Ford."

"factory recall"

"It appears to be a loose connection under the driver's seat as the air bag intermittently comes on when the driver's seat is moved forward and backward."

"The passenger side airbag was replaced due to a recall. My wife and I did not want to drive the car unless the airbag was replaced. Ford Motor Company paid for a rental car. Initially the rental car was a Focus because the rental agency (Enterprise) did not have a Fusion. It was upgraded to a Fusion about a month later. The part of the process I did not like was having to leave my car with the dealer for about 6 months. It was parked and never moved during that time. I stopped by the dealer once a month to check on the car. I also called Ford Motor Company each month for an update of when the replaced airbag might be available. Initially I was told it would be available during the 2nd quarter of 2018. After June 2018 it was month to month, but they told me the cars that were before mine on the priority list. The delay was due to the slow manufacturing of the new airbags."

"It took over a year to get airbag replaced! my local dealer lied about lack of parts,went to another dealer 20 miles away,they fixed it in two days!"

"confusing and does not seem to provide useful info"

"Noise. Deterioration of metal resulting in holes. Also resonator was replaced."
