2009 Ford Fusion Brakes

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. UPDATED 02/21/17*LJ

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND APPLYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES FELT SPONGY OR SOFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS AND SHOES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE PADS AND SHOES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED A SECOND TIME, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,492.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE AND DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE ABS SENSOR ACTIVATED. MOMENTS LATER, THE BRAKE PEDAL EXTENDED TO THE FLOOR WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE DID NOT IMMEDIATELY STOP AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE WAS INCREASED. THE DEALER CHANGED THE REAR ROTORS AND BRAKE PADS, AND BRAKE FLUID; HOWEVER, THE SAME FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL MONTHS LATER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE FRONT BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,914.

WHILE RECENTLY DRIVING ON SNOW, THE BRAKES SEEMED TO ALMOST MALFUNCTION AFTER ABS WAS ACTIVATED. I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKES ALMOST TO THE FLOOR TO BRAKE WHICH DELAYED MY ABILITY TO BRAKE ALMOST CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO NOT STOP IN TIME. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED IN SLICK CONDITIONS THAT WOULD ACTIVATE THE ABS SYSTEM. PUMPING THE BRAKES WOULD HELP TO BRING THE BRAKE PRESSURE BACK BUT WOULD ALMOST INSTANTLY GO OUT AGAIN THE NEXT TIME I HAD TO BRAKE. THIS SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASES MY ABILITY TO DRIVE SAFELY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES FAILED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN FROM 30 MPH. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A COLLISION CENTER WHERE THE BODY DAMAGE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,440.

2009 FORD FUSION BRAKE PROBLEMS. THE BRAKE PEDAL INTERMITTENLY GOES DOWN THE FLOOR UNEXEPECTLY. I HAD TO STAND ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP THE CAR. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO MURPHY FORD, CHESTER PA ON 4 OCCASIONS. THIS CAR HAS BEEN TOWED TWICE TO MURPHY FORD , CONCERNING THIS ISSUE. MURPHY FORD COULD NOT DUPLICATE THIS PROBLEM. AFTER THE 4TH VISIT, AND MURPHY FORD COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, I REQUESTED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER BE REPLACE. THIS CAR IS UNSAFE AND FORD SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. I AM AUTHORIZING THE NHTSB TO REVIEW MY VEHICLE SERVICE RECORD FROM MURPHY FORD CONCERNING THIS ISSUE.

WHEN ANTI-LOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IS NEEDED, SUCH AS ON A SLIPPERY ROAD, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR, RESULTING IN A LACK OF STOPPING POWER, RESULTING IN A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. WHEN ROADS ARE NOT SLIPPERY, BRAKES WORK NORMALLY.

MY BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE SOFT AND OPERATES NOW MUCH CLOSER TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE FOLLOWING A RATHER SEVERE APPLICATION OF BRAKING TO AVOID A COLLISION. (I WAS TRAVELING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION ON A MAJOR ROADWAY AT 40-45 MPH WHEN A VEHICLE MADE A LEFT TURN IN FRONT OF ME) IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE INCIDENT, I FEARED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT GOING TO STOP AT THE NEXT TRAFFIC LIGHT AND SO IT WENT FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DAY IN OCTOBER , 2016. THE BRAKES WERE NOT RIGHT. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES DID FEEL A LITTLE BETTER, HOWEVER, I AM SURE HAVING DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED NEW, THEY ARE NOT WHAT THEY WERE PRIOR TO THE HARD STOP. *TR

BOTH MY WIFE AND I EXPERIENCED THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING SOFT SO THAT WE HAD TO PRESS DOWN FURTHER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED DOWN FURTHER TO GET TO FIRM RESISTANCE. THE CAR WOULD NOT BRAKE NORMALLY BUT REQUIRED MORE PRESSURE TO BRAKE THE CAR AND TOOK LONGER TO STOP. WE FELT UNSAFE. IT OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHEN TRYING TO STOP. THE PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND WE DO NOT KNOW WHEN IT WILL OCCUR OR WHY IT IS HAPPENING. THIS HAPPENED WHEN TRYING TO STOP FOR STREET LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS AND OCCURRED THIS PAST MONTH, THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER 2016. IT HAPPENED WHEN WE WERE TRAVELING STRAIGHT OR ON A CURVE COMING TO A FULL STOP. IT HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE DATE, SEVERAL TIMES TOWARDS THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER 2016

AFTER ANTI-LOCK BRAKES ENGAGED WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND LOST MOST OF THE BRAKING ABILITY. THIS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. THE FIRST 2 TIMES IT HAPPENED, THE BRAKING PRESSURE RECOVERED WITHIN A DAY AND BRAKES WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THE 3RD TIME IT HAPPENED THE BRAKE PRESSURE NEVER RECOVERED COMPLETELY. I STILL HAVE BRAKING ABILITY, BUT REQUIRES A LONG BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL TO ENGAGE BRAKES FULLY. IF I PUMP BRAKES, PEDAL PRESSURE SEEMS TO BUILD TO A NORMAL LEVEL, BUT WILL GO BACK TO A SOFT FEEL IMMEDIATELY AFTER I STOP PUMPING (AS IF THE BRAKE FLUID IS LEAKING PAST SOMETHING INTERNALLY). HAD DEALER LOOK AT IT AFTER 1ST INCIDENT, BUT COULDN'T DIAGNOSE ANY PROBLEMS WITH SYSTEM (BRAKES HAD GONE BACK TO NORMAL BY THEN). I AM CURRENTLY DRIVING WITH THE LONG PEDAL TRAVEL AND SOFT FEEL OF THE BRAKES, BUT HAVE LEARNED TO COMPENSATE FOR IT. *TR

THIS HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST YEAR WITH MY 2009 FORD FUSION THAT CURRENTLY HAS 74,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL WHILE DRIVING OVER A SMALL POTHOLE OR SLIGHTLY DAMP ROAD SURFACE, THE ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES. THE BRAKE PEDAL FEELS AS THOUGH IT IS GRINDING AND PUSHING BACK ON MY FOOT, AND THE CAR DOES NOT STOP. I PRESS THE BRAKE AS HARD AS I CAN TO TRY TO STOP THE CAR. THE BRAKE PEDAL CONTINUES TO FEEL AS THOUGH IT IS GRINDING AND THEN DROPS TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR EVENTUALLY COMES TO A STOP. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN IN SEVERAL ACCIDENTS, DUE TO THE CAR'S INABILITY TO STOP IMMEDIATELY. CURRENTLY, I HAVE TO DRIVE SEVERAL FEET BEHIND THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME, EVEN ON FLAT, DRY ROAD SURFACES. NOW WHEN I PRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKES ENGAGE, BUT THEN DISENGAGE, UNTIL THE BRAKE PEDAL IS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. ONCE THE BRAKE PEDAL IS ON THE FLOOR, THE CAR SLOWLY COMES TO A STOP. THE CAR WILL NOT STOP IMMEDIATELY. IT IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THE CAR, BECAUSE OF THIS. I MUST KNOW WELL AHEAD OF TIME WHEN I HAVE TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

WHEN BRAKING OVER BUMPS THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR WITH NO RESPONSE. ABS MODULE STICKING.

HIT THE BRAKES COMING DOWN A HILL ON WET SURFACE, HAD A ABS EVENT AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. HAD TO PUMP BRAKES TO STOP . NOW CONSTANT SOFT PEDAL. NO BRAKE LIGHT OR ABS LIGHT CAME ON OR HAVE SINCE COME ON. HAD MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER REPLACED WAS NOT THE PROBLEM. RESEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND INFORMATION SAYING THE ABS SYSTEM WAS MALFUNCTIONING AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.

2 TIMES IN PAST TWO MONTHS, WHILE DRIVING IN RAIN MY CAR LOST BRAKE PRESSURE. ONCE ON A LOCAL STREET AND ONCE ON A HIGHWAY EXIT RAMP. BOTH TIMES DRIVING STRAIGHT BUT TRYING TO MAKE A QUICK STOP. IN BOTH TIMES THIS HAPPENED WHILE BRAKING ON A METAL SURFACE (MANHOLE COVER). I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO STOP. THIS LOSS OF PRESSURE LASTED FOR HOURS/OVERNIGHT. I WAS ABLE TO STOP BUT THE STOPPING PROCESS TOOK A LOT LONGER. I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE SHOP TODAY 12/27/16 AND THE SHOP FOUND NOTHING WRONG. I THEN SAW AN ARTICLE, TODAY, REGARDING THE NHTSA INVESTIGATION INTO THE LOSS OF BRAKE PRESSURE IN FORD FUSIONS. I AM REPORTING THIS SO THAT IT IS KNOWN MY FORD FUSION HAS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL HIT THE FLOORBOARD OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT STATED THE INTERLOCK BRAKE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 104,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHILE TRAVELING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT SPEED, ON TWO DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY '09 FORD FUSION FIRST BEGAN TO GRAB THEN TRAVELED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR RESULTING IN NO BRAKES. THE FIRST TIME WAS JUST AFTER HITTING A POT HOLE AND THE SECOND WAS ON WET PAYMENT. THE FIRST RESULTED IN SLIDING INTO AN INTERSECTION AFTER EXITING THE FREEWAY AND BEING ABLE TO STOP. THE SECOND REQUIRED ME TO SWERVE ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID REAR-ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THE CAR WAS THEN INSPECTED AT A FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH SAID THE BRAKE FLUID WAS A BIT LOW BUT NO OTHER PROBLEMS WERE FOUND. THE PADS ARE GOOD, NO LEAKS HAVE BEEN DETECTED AND YET THE LOW FLUID CAN'T BE EXPLAINED, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS INSPECTED TWO MONTHS EARLIER. BOTH FAILURES OCCURRED DURING HARD BRAKING AND ONE OTHER ISSUE SUCH AS A POT HOLE OR WET PAVEMENT. NO ALERT INDICATORS LIGHTS ON THE DASH HAVE EVER COME ON. THE DEALER REPORTED NO ERROR CODES BEING AVAILABLE FROM THE COMPUTER. THE ISSUE HAS NOT OCCURRED IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS SINCE THE LAST DEALER "REPAIR".

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE ISSUE STARTED AFTER SLIDING ON ICE AND THE ABS WERE ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS BRAKE VALVES WERE OPENED AND NO PRESSURE WAS BEING APPLIED TO THE BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,600.

I PURCHASED THIS USED CAR ON SEPT. 28, 2016. FIVE WEEKS LATER, ON NOV. 4, I WAS NEARING A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET AND BEGAN TO BRAKE. UNEXPECTEDLY, THE ABS ENGAGED AND I FOUND MYSELF WITHOUT ANY BRAKING POWER. I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR UNTIL THE CAR EVENTUALLY STOPPED APPROXIMATELY 12-15 FEET LATER. IF ANOTHER CAR OR A PERSON HAD BEEN IN FRONT OF ME, I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR (AUTONATION FORD OF WHITE BEAT LAKE, MINNESOTA), TOLD THEM WHAT HAPPENED AND THEN DROVE MY CAR SLOWLY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY KEPT IT FOR FOUR DAYS. THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND I WAS LED TO BELIEVE THAT THAT WAS THE END OF THE PROBLEM. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT ELSE MIGHT HAVE CAUSED SUCH A BRAKING PROBLEM. FIVE WEEKS LATER, ON DEC. 10, 2016, THE SAME THING HAPPENED ON ANOTHER CITY STREET AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT EXCEPT THIS TIME THE ABS ENGAGED BECAUSE THE ROAD WAS SEMI-SLIPPERY AFTER A SNOWFALL AND I HAD TO BRAKE A BIT HARDER. AGAIN, THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK PROPERLY AND I HAD TO PRESS THEM TO THE FLOOR. MY CAR ENDED UP SLIDING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION (AGAINST A RED LIGHT) BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. LUCKILY, THERE WASN'T ANY OTHER TRAFFIC OR OBSTACLES IN THE INTERSECTION OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM AS WELL. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS SIMILAR COMPLAINTS WITH FORD FUSION ABS SYSTEMS, INCLUDING A NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS MADE TO NHTSA. (THERE'S ALSO A VIDEO ABOUT THE PROBLEM AT YOUTUBE.) I DISCOVERED THAT THE PROBLEM IS OFTEN MISDIAGNOSED AND THAT THE CAUSE IF A FAULTY/DEFECTIVE ABS HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT NEEDING TO BE REPLACED IN A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF FUSIONS BUILT WITHIN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. THESE FORD FUSIONS WITH FAULTY ABS NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE THERE ARE INJURIES AND FATALITIES, IF THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ALREADY.

I OWN A 2009 FORD FUSION SEL WITH THE 3.0 ENGINE. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS VERY SPONGE, I HAVE REPLACED PADS, CALIPERS, AND THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS HAS NOT TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM, I HAVE REVIEWED OTHER INFORMATION AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. FORD HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE RESEARCHED MORE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THE ONLY THING LEFT IS THE ABS PUMP AND MOTOR. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THIS HAS TAKEN CARE OF THE PROBLEM, THE COST TO DO THIS IS APPROXIMATELY $1500. PLUS LABOR COST. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY CLOSE CALL ACCIDENTS AS SOME OF THE OTHER COMPLAINTS. THIS IS AND COULD BE A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ALL THE TIME WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC STOPPED AHEAD OF ME. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO STOP AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ACTIVATED THE ANTILOCK BRAKES. THIS DID NOT PROVIDE ANY SIGNIFICANT BRAKING AND I REAR ENDED THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. ABOUT 2 MONTHS PRIOR I HIT A DRAINAGE GRATE AND UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES THERE WAS NO BRAKES. AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 20 MINUTES THE BRAKES FELT NORMAL AFTER APPLYING THE BRAKES HARD A COUPLE OF TIMES. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAD THE BRAKES CHECKED AND THE ONLY THING FOUND WAS THE ROTORS NEEDED TO BE TURNED. THE CAR HAS ABOUT 79,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 FORD FUSION. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE BRAKE CALIPERS AND BRAKE PADS WERE REPLACED MORE THAN TWICE, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE HCU FAILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 145,000.

IN SITUATIONS WHERE A DRIVER IS BRAKING AND YOUR ABS BECOMES ENABLED, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT VALVES INSIDE THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU) MAY STICK, GREATLY REDUCING PRESSURE SENT TO THE CALIPER/BRAKE. THE VALVES MAY CONTINUE TO BE STUCK UNTIL EITHER THE ABS IS REENGAGED OR UNTIL THE VALVES UNSTICK THEMSELVES, BETWEEN PERIODS OF HOURS OR WEEKS. WHILE THE VALVES ARE STUCK, BRAKE PEDDLES WILL FEEL EXTREMELY SPONGY AND ARE REQUIRED TO BE PRESSED TO THE FLOOR TO ACTUALLY HAVE THE DESIRED EFFECT OF SLOWING THE CAR. EVEN WHEN PRESSED ALL THE WAY DOWN, THE EFFECTS OF BRAKING ARE SEVERELY DIMINISHED WHEN COMPARED TO PROPERLY WORKING BRAKES. REDUCED BRAKING EFFECTIVENESS IS OBVIOUSLY EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR DRIVERS AND COULD, EVEN DURING CLEAR CONDITIONS, CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. REPLACEMENT OF THE HCU COSTS SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS AND IS ULTIMATELY A TEMPORARY FIX, AS THE ISSUE WILL EVENTUALLY REOCCUR.

THE ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT FAILED WHILE DRIVING AFTER HITTING A SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR WHICH RESULTED IN POOR BRAKING ACTION NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

BRAKES GO TO THE FLOOR AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS GREATLY INCREASING STOPPING DISTANCE AND POSES SIGNIFICANT SAFETY CONCERNS. BRAKE HCU (HYDROLIC CONTROL UNIT) /ABS SYSTEM MALFUNCTION POSES ISSUES WITH BUMPS IN THE ROAD, AND BRAKING WHILE TURNING EVEN AT SLOW SPEEDS. BRAKES RETURN TO NORMAL AFTER BEING PUMPED AND NO OTHER MALFUNCTIONS WITH BRAKE SYSTEM (BRAKE BOOSTER/MASTER CYLINDER/BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS, BRAKE FLUID) OPERATING NORMAL AFTER ASE DEALERSHIP MASTER MECHANICS CAN BE IDENTIFIED. OCCURS IN CITY STREETS, DRIVEWAY, PARKING LOTS.
