2015 Ford Fusion Brakes

A previously recalled issue has reoccurred in my vehicle. I’d like to report it and understand my options moving forward. My brake light is on and will not go off! Message appearing “hill assist not available”

I've had recurring issues of brake failure. Thankfully, none of the issues have resulted in fatality, injury or major damage. My most recent issue happened as I was leaving my job. I depressed the brake to put the car in drive and the brake went down almost to the floor. I hesitantly drove the car to an auto shop near my home and was able to have the brakes serviced. I have included that invoice (10.02.24) along with some invoices from previous issues (09.07.17) (04.12.18). There have been recalls made concerning the break line in Ford Fusions that were released around the same time as mine (Recall #23S12). I question if, although my vin number does not show in the recall search, my car should have been included within this recall. I'm concerned and I would like to know if I have any options toward reimbursement for these repairs and/or a complimentary inspection to make sure there is indeed no safety issue that is connected Recall 23S12 or any other Ford brake line recall. Please review this information and follow up at your earliest convenience. Thanks

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion Energi. The contact stated that while driving at 55 MPH, the driver slammed on the brake pedal, the vehicle veered towards the left, and crashed into the guardrail. The vehicle was uncontrollable. There were no warning lights illuminated. There were no reported injuries, fire, police report or air bag deployment. The contact was able to continue to driving. The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. .The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage was approximately 167,000.

Rear brakes locked up, causing brake pad, caliper, and rotor failure. All components replaced for left and right side rear. Right rear brakes failed a second time including complete brake failure with brake pedal traveling to the floor, same parts replaced. Third failure on the rear brake with the brake pedal again traveling to the floor rendering the car unsafe. No warning lights at any time. Car was repaired twice by an independent service center. This put ourselves and others at risk to serious injury due to the inability of the vehicle to come to a safe stop.

This is car is original under recall 22V011000 as this car registered in Texas, but that recalls goes away and can no longer found in the system. without remedy the recall might put human on risk as indicated in recalls.

In April 2023 I received a recall letter, called immediately to set up an appointment to have it fixed. I was told the parts were not available, and to check back in June or July. Memorial Day weekend of 2023 I was driving home, when without warning, the brake line that is recalled had failed.. There was no warning. Thankfully I was able to coast to a stop. The dealership says the parts are not available. How long will this take.?

The power brake booster is driven by a custom Ford bolt driven by the camshaft. This bolt failed with the result that it was extremely hard to stop the vehicle with both feet on the brake pedal. I looked online for advice and found this is a very common failure. Then while trying to get a replacement bolt, every Ford dealer in North America that I contacted has them on back order so this is an extremely common failure.Obviously anyone around one of these vehicles are at risk when this part fails which is very clearly a common occurrence. This happens with no warning at all.

The contact's daughter owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the brake pedal would feel spongy as the brake pedal would depress to the floorboard without warning. The contact then received a recall notice for NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V162000(Service Brakes, Hydraulics) which she linked to her failure. The contact called the dealer and was informed that the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The dealer informed her that despite the failure, they would not be able to service the vehicle until the parts became available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 53,000. VIN tool confirms parts not yet available.

July 1 2023 Me and my daughter were driving to go to fireworks and without warning the brakes went out completely. Hose busted on driver side

When I went to stop at a stop sign, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the car went partially through the stop sign. I was able to pump the brakes and get relatively solid braking, so I drove the two blocks back to my home. Once home, I pumped the brakes approximately 10 times more and the low fluid light came on, indicating a brake leak. Since the brake reservoir was able to empty in approximately 12 pumps, the leak must be relatively severe. The car is approximately 8 years old, has about 125,000 miles on it, has always been serviced by the dealership. About 2 months ago the brakes were inspected and the rear brake pads and rotors were replaced. Thus, there is no reason for a severe brake leak such as this.

I have had to replace both brake line twice in the last 7 years. Luckily, I noticed a puddle under the car & then the brake pedal went to the floor. Have been stranded at locations 3 times and the 4th time, I was able to get car home & then towed to shop for repair. I have contacted Ford numerous times about this issue with no resolution. No lights illuminated to warn of low brake fluid or low brake pressure. Even after pedal went to floor, no warning lights.

As I was driving on 9/10/22 with my 2yr old daughter and the vehicle spontaneously lost pressure in the braking system out of nowhere making my vehicle hard to stop. I contacted my local ford dealership in regards to the matter but was very dissatisfied. A repair shop informed me it was the driver side brake hose.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving approximately at 70 MPH and turning slightly into the right lane, the steering began to shudder. The contact was unaware of any warning lights being illuminated. Additionally, when the contact applied the brake pedal, it traveled to the floorboard. The contact lost control and went off the highway, crashing into a ditch. The contact had the vehicle towed to a collision repair shop. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not diagnosed. The vehicle was repaired for collision damage only. A recall notice for NHTSA Campaign Number 22V011000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) was received however the contact was uncertain if his failure was related to the recall. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000.

Suddenly loss break pressure, with no warning and no indicator lights. Break fluid was suddenly empty and having it checked earlier in the day and it was fine. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, I SUDDENLY HAD NO BREAKS, I was just about to get onto the freeway. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE ELSE. Break line, front drivers side failed and I lost all break fluid. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. WILL THIS HAPPEN AGAIN????

Brake fluid cracked without warning and no alarm

I have lost my brakes twice in the last year. Once on 10/19/21 and once on 09/07/22. The first incident on 10/19/21 I was driving and without warning lost my brakes and fluid was going all over. This was due to a rupture of the front brake flex hose. I live in Roscoe, IL and was visiting my mother in Burlington, WI. Thank goodness, we were driving in her neighborhood when this happened or it could have been devastating. This last incident on 09/07/22 I was pulling out of a parking lot when I noticed that my pedal went all the way to the floor leaving me with no brakes. This incident was the left front brake hose that ruptured. In both of these incidents, my car had to be towed to be repaired. Upon researching these problems, there have been many complaints of both of these same issues for other Ford Fusion owners. Last October after the first incident took place, I notified Ford and asked why some cars were recalled but not mine. All they told me was to save my receipts and maybe I could get reimbursed if my car was ever recalled. My vehicle is serviced per mileage and has never missed an oil change and maintenance check at the Ford dealership. Both of these incidents were not identified as a problem before they had happened and just all of a sudden i was without brakes. I am very thankful that I was not on the interstate or in traffic during either one of these times. Now, I am nervous to even drive my 2015 Ford Titanium and wonder when this will happen again.

Front brake line rupture

While driving the breakline on the left side burst causing the brakes to totally go out.had vehicle towed to a ford dealer where they said the breakline needed replaced due to the linkage busting off. There was no warning lights or warning that this would happen. 2 weeks prior the vehicle was at same ford dealer for other service and no remarks were made by dealer after their 27 point inspection which includes the breaks.wife and 3 year old daughter we're both in the car when this happened as well as others on the road that were at risk of a collision.

Driving on a flat surface coming to a red light. Went to slow down and car would not stop right away. After doing a check around the vehicle I noticed brake fluid was leaking out of front right part of the car. I turned the wheel, had someone press the brake. Saw that the rubber hose was squirting break fluid out. There was no warning of any kind prior to the incident.

The brake lights stay on permanently, even when the pedal is not pressed, and even when the car is turned off. This is clearly the same problem that Ford recalled these Fusions for in other states.

1. Front passenger brake hose split. 2. While driving the brake hose made an audible pop sound and fluid was released. Had I been driving at a high rate of speed (on an interstate) I could have created a multi-vehicle crash, potentially killing other drivers and, or myself. 3. I have a photo of the split hose. 4. I’ve inspected the issue myself and have photo evidence. It was not difficult to find the malfunctioned part. 5. No warning lamps or notices of failure. I’ve owned several cars, some much older than this current ford fusion and never had this issue with the brake hose. This could have been disastrous. I learned today that NHTSA opened a query into this potential issue in August 2022 and am recommending this be continued or reopened for investigation. This is not something to mess with, brake failure can be lethal.

Failed Part: Front left brake hose. While starting the car in a parking lot, I pressed the brake pedal down and the brake pedal kept going to the floor. Threre was a severe loss in breaking performance and the brake warning message appeared and the chimed sounded. There was little breaking performance remaining, So I was able to make it across the street to Firestone Complete Auto Care Store #788339 (Phone number 757 312 8357) to have the the car serviced where the front brake hose on the left side was replaced Retail Invoice number #[XXX]. I should have insisted on replacing the other brake hose during the repair but the service advisor argued that it was not necessary. The mileage on the invoice is incorrect. Ford Motor Company has a Customer Satisfaction Program 22N02 for the same issue. When I scheduled an appointment the service advisor told me the other brake hose would only be inspected and replaced only if leaking.

Brake line failed when pushing brake pedal to shift from park.

The contact owns a 2015 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving approximately 25 MPH he attempted to depress the brake pedal and it failed to respond. There were unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle went forward and hit the vehicle in front. There were no air bags deployed. The front passenger side headlight and bumper were destroyed. The police arrived on the scene and filed a report. There were no injuries or medical treatment needed. The contact drove the vehicle to a local repair facility and was currently not repaired. There was no diagnosis of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact related the failure to a manufacturer's recall (22R01) of brake failure from Ford Manufacturer. The approximate mileage of the failure was 64,000.

I was driving on the freeway in North Carolina and received a Hill Start Assist not available on my dashboard. This was the first time i ever seen this and keep in mind I am on the freeway driving a little over 70 mph, All of a sudden the car started to tug back & slow down a bit but jerk back up to speed. This went on until i was able to get off the freeway. very scary. when I spoke to a mechanic a brake switch needed to be replaced. Currently pending repairs
