2010 Ford Fusion Brakes

On occasion, the brake pedal goes to the floor and car does not stop. Red triangle warning light comes on. Parking brake is needed to stop car. I have taken it to ford dealer, and problem was not repeated during their test drive.

Brakes are exhibiting issues with long brake pedal travel and sponginess. This has started within the last few weeks where it is off and on but is continuous now. The dealer has the vehicle and diagnosed it as an issue with the HCU or ABS system. My mom was driving it and had difficulty stopping the vehicle due to long brake pedal travel. I saw there was a previous recall 19S54 on the same year model that was produced at the same plant. However Ford will not fix it since the production date was two months after the original affected date. The campaign ended with vehicles produced up to July. Hers was produced in September. Since the dates were not the same they would not cover it even if it was the exact same issue on the recall.

Car is a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid. With no prior warning, brakes went out and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor with almost no stopping power whatsoever. Dealer wants $2000 for ABS Module and HCU replacement. Ford has a warranty on this for some 2006-2010 models, so I don't know why my car is not covered under this warranty if it's happening to my car too.

After taking my car in for the recall on the Hydraulic system on the brakes which it them for ever to send out the second letter for the repairs. During the waiting period I had to leave the road to keep from hitting someone because of brake failure. I have notify Ford Motor Company of the problem right after they sent the first letter. I had damaged to my car that they refused to help with. They sent me a form to sign that said I would not hold Ford Motor Company responsible or Ford Techs should they damaged the RCM when removing to send to their labs. Which I refused to sign because I did talk to a mechanic that worked Ford motor. He stated that the slight wrong move or bump could damaged the main board and it was an very expensive part. Ford Motor Company resolution to fix the recall problem was to bleed out the DOT 3 brake fluid and replace it with DOT 4. I still have brake issue if I am driving in the rain or hit a bump in the road. Now I am having a problem with brake fluid leaking since they switched the fluid. I am going to have a mechanic check to see were the leak is coming from. We own this car 10 years and was satisfied with the car and kept it when we purchased an SUV. Good motor in the car. After dealing with Ford Motor Company about the accident with my car and the other recalls I regret we did not trade it in, but I would have more regret selling it to someone knowing that it could be a danger to their life as it was mine. Even though the car does have a good motor I will never purchase another Ford or purchase and make of any car from any Ford dealership due to the way Ford Motor Company handle my brake recall that cost me money to have the repairs to my 2010 Ford Fusion.

RE: From my complaint earlier. I took my car to a mechanic to find out why I was losing my brake fluid. The mechanic said the leak was coming from the ABS Box. ( Hydralic) this was the problem Ford Motor Company had a recall for, Their quick fix DID NOT take care of the problem by switching to DOT 4 brake fluid. I still had some brake issues after I took it in for the recall. When it is raining I still had the issue of my brakes failing or if I hit a bump in the road I had brake failure at times. Ford Motor Company took a cheap way out thinking this would solve the problem. I had to leave the road in the pass causing damage to my 2010 Ford Fusion. Today I am very angry with Ford Motor. They should have replaced Hydraulic brake system in the vehicle instead of playing games with people lives. Ford Dealership told me the part would cost $600. Ford Motor Company should be held accountable for their lack of interest of fixing the recall the correct way.

The brake system failed while vehicle was in operation on a highway travelling at 65 mph. While not completely nonfunctional, all advanced braking features such as ABS and power brakes were immediately disabled and only pressing the brake pedal completely to the floor would slowly bring the vehicle to a stop. Other drivers around my vehicle as well as myself were in danger, as I was at that time suddenly unable to stop the vehicle normally. If a sudden traffic stop were required or a situation requiring ABS encountered, a collision would have been extremely likely. I brought the vehicle to a service center the same day the issue occured. The dealer confirmed that many fault indicators were actively lit on the dashboard, the brakes were not functioning correctly, and error code "U3000" was stored on the vehicle's onboard computer. After performing extensive diagnostics, the dealer recommended that the ABS/Brake Control Valve Module be replaced. I put an order in for the component (part number BE5Z2C219H) on 01JUN2022 but as of 19OCT2022, the part is still not available due to being waitlisted. I was told that I was number 600+ on the list to receive this ($645.25) part as this exact component is currently part of a large recall that the manufacturer says my vehicle doesn't qualify for. As mentioned, there is a recall for my exact vehicle model, year, and plant of manufacture but I am told that my VIN is not in the range covered by this recall--even though it presents the exact symptoms and it seems that the same component has been determined to be at fault. That recall is: 19S54 - Certain 2006-2010 Model Year Fusion/Milan/MKZ/Zephyr Vehicles Equipped with Anti-Lock Brake Systems - DOT 3 Brake Fluid and Anti-Lock Brake System Function The vehicle is available for inspection anytime as it has been undrivable now for almost 5 months.

Braking failure and lights associated with it are currently on in the dash. Dealer says I need a new ABS Module and HCU. Around $2,000 worth of parts to fix it. This recall was first issued 3 years ago and Ford still has not found a solution apparently.

Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010 ||| ABS module error. Yes. ||| Total brake failure while driving; car ignored me pushing brake pedal. ||| No. They performed a diagnosis and ran the ABS module through testing software but found nothing wrong. They test drove it and found nothing wrong. ||| Ford service center, yes. Others no. ||| No obvious symptoms occurred prior to the incident. The car did feel like it was responding ever so slightly differently to my braking for a couple months prior to the total brake failure, but it was so slight I thought it was just in my head. There were no warning lights or anything that would lead me to believe that something was wrong with my brakes. ||| FULL INCIDENT: I was leaving a parking lot and drove up a short ramp to merge onto the highway. When I got to the top of the ramp the ramp curved downwards towards the highway, and I pressed on the brakes to stop the car so I could check for traffic. I was at a 90degree angle to the traffic. The car completely ignored me pressing on the brakes and continued to coast towards the highway; which was about 4ft in front of me; and I pressed on the brakes again and nothing happened. I saw a red brake light on my dashboard and heard loud beeping noises from it, I put the car in Park, which stopped the car, then I pulled the E-brake and turned the car off and called for a tow truck. When the car was restarted by the tow truck driver the issue went away. The tow truck driver was able to drive and brake just fine, and there were no warning lights for him. The dealership found nothing wrong with the brakes or ABS module. There is a recall out for the ABS module for the model & year of my car (Ford Fusion Hybrid 2010) for ones made in Mexico. There was no recall for this module performed on my car because it was not made in Mexico, despite having the same reported issue.

On my 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid the ABS module and brake system warning lights all turned on at once at random, and the brakes stopped working properly. The vehicle is not drivable. I see there has been some recalls for this for 2010 non hybrid fusions, but this is a seriously dangerous issue for the hybrids also!

After going over a rough patch of pavement on the road, I felt the brakes give out and completely reach the floor almost as if there was no pressure in the pump. Now, the brakes go all the way down when trying to brake and it still stops the car but it shouldn't do that. I've read others online had the same issue with the brakes.

Hello, Around 3 years ago, I found out that Ford had a recall on 2010 Fusion for the brakes but my VIN # was not included. About a year and a half ago, I took my car to the shop because my brakes and rotors needed replaced. The mechanic called me to say even though they were all replaced, i still have to push the pedal to floor to stop but there was a recall on your make and model and to contact Ford. I then told him that when I checked a few years ago, it did not qualify. He then called Ford himself and was told the same thing. It cost us almost $900 to repair. Now only a little over a year later, the brakes are very bad and I’m asking that you please relook at VIN #’s. It scared me so bad today when I had to suddenly stop and all I heard was grinding and almost rear ended the car in front of me. It made me want to email you to find out if my car can fixed. This problem also causes wear and tear to happen faster because I should not have to replace them already after a short this period of time. Can you please re evaluate my car for the recall and also assistance with repairing the brakes and rotors? I do have the receipt from a licensed shop showing the repair I did already I can send too. Please advise. Thank you so much in advance for your time and help. I truly appreciate it!!

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving 45 MPH and attempting to stop the vehicle however, the vehicle failed to stop as needed. The contact depressed the brake pedal extremely hard to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the contact was informed that the ABS valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The failure mileage was 100,000.

Brake pedal goes to floor with very minimal braking. ABS light and Brake lights come on along with Service Advancetrac. This appears to be the EXACT same issue as 19V90400 (Ford recall 19S54) but Ford Service says vehicle is not part of the recall. RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED before someone dies! Ford dealer states that Ford Parts has placed a "STOP SALE" order on HCU's to fix the problem.

After driving the car normally, parking, and leaving the car for about 30 minutes, upon restarting the car, the Service Autotrac, anti-skid, ABS, and brake warning lights illuminated. The brake pedal travels nearly to the floor with no braking. Car had no braking unless I stomped on the pedal which locks up the brakes to stop. No trouble codes in OBD II. Car has 166,000 miles. I looked on You Tube, and this is a COMMON PROBLEM with Ford passenger cars and F-150s.

Drove on freeway 33 miles with no issues with brakes. Picked up my son and then going down hill of where we live No Brakes!! All brake faults lit up on dash. Restarted car several times still no brakes. I had to use emergency brakes to stop Aug 29 2022

While approaching a stop sign I pressed on the brake pedal and the vehicle did not slow down. At the same moment the "Brake System" warning light came on. When I pressed the brake down as hard as I absolutely could, the vehicle finally began to slow ever so slightly, but I still was not able to slow at a reasonable rate for only going 15 miles per hour, and ended up passed the stop sign. Luckily there was no oncoming traffic. After getting my vehicle towed to the nearest Ford service center, they returned with a quote to replace the ABS Module. After doing a quick search on the internet I found that there is a recall for that exact part, for the same year and model of my car, a 2010 Ford Fusion. However, when the Ford service center looks up my VIN, they say that it is not a match for the recall and therefore aren't responsible for the issue.

Spongy brakes. Occasionally the pedal goes to the floor and the vehicle will not stop as it should.

No symptoms prior to failure. As I was driving, brakes went out. ABS warning lights came on along with other brake malfunction lights. I have to press the pedal down 90% of the way for the brakes to engage at all. It has happened twice now. The first time, the codes were reset and the car worked until the second time. Now the brakes don't work. Mechanic says the ABS Module needs replaced.

About July 13th 2022, I was driving to town with my children. The car's warning sounded and displayed a mechanic's wrench. Moments later while approaching the intersection a few hundred feet away, I had no foot brakes. I was able to use the hand brake and stop before running the busy cross traffic going 50+ mpg. Had I not reacted as fast I did, there would have been a three-car incident at the intersection threatening all of our lives. Had the car towed to the repair shop and they confirmed that the abs module and brake booster was no longer functioning and needed to be replaced. They were unable to perform that repair, so I then had it taken to a dealership for a second opinion, and they had the same conclusion. Apparently, this is such a problem that the abs module part is backordered with no estimated stocking date. Now I've been out of a car for over a month. Kendal Ford of Marysville Washington recommended repairs. 1. HYBRID BRAKE SYSTEM DIAGNOSIS (EEC TEST, PINPOINT TESTS) (NUMEROUS WARNING LIGHTS, BRAKE/TRACTION CONTROL/WRENCH...) Fail 2.

I own a 2010 FORD FUSION HYBRID. The ABS light, the Brake light, the Service Advancetrac, the Wrench, Etc. all were illuminated when the car on. While attempt to brake the brake pedal was depressed and I have to push hard on the pedal in order to make the car stop. I took the car to The Ford Store Morgan Hill (17045 Condit Rd. Morgan Hill, CA 95037 408-816-2332) and was informed that the failure might related to NHTSA campaign number: 19V904000 (Servive Brakes, Hydraulic). However, the VIN was not included.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that when attempting to depress the brake pedal, it would touch the floorboard. The brakes service warning light had illuminated. The contact took the vehicle to a certified mechanic who replaced 2 calibers and the brake pads but the failure persisted. The contact took the vehicle to another certified mechanic who stated that the calibers had blown the brakes on the vehicle due to a lift failing to close causing brake fluid to get inside. The entire ABS system needed to be replaced however the vehicle had not been repaired as of yet. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 150,000.

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the brake pedal had to be depressed to the floorboard to stop the vehicle, causing the braking distance to be extended. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who indicated that the braking mechanism was faulty and needed to be replaced. No further information was available. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. The contact was informed that the vehicle was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. The failure mileage was 85,000.

Out of nowhere, my brakes malfunctioned with the pedal sinking low to the floor. Several lights went off including check brake system, traction control and ABS. This issue seems to be exactly related to a current recall involving ABS on 2010 Fusions but doesn't appear to apply to the Hybrid model. The issue is intermittent.

Total brake failure, with pedal going to the floor. NHTSA safety recall 19S54 for hydraulic control unit does not apply according to McDavid Ford of Fort Worth because of build date afterward. Recall should be extended since this is a common safety hazard for vehicles built after the recall cutoff of 7-15-09. Very dangerous not to issue a mandatory recall. Also, the air bag replacement has been delayed for probably more than a year. It's time for NHTSA to get serious about addressing these glaring safety problems in the Fusion ASAP. Please do your job.

There is a recall for some vehicles manufactured near the time of this particular vehicle’s manufactured date for the ABS control unit. The valves stick causing unsafe breaking conditions. This particular vehicle exhibits the same behavior as described in the recall but this VIN is not showing up as one of the recalled vehicles for this problem. It is recall 19V904000 issued on December 12, 2019.
