WHICH ENTAILED CHANGING THE MASTERCYLINDER AND FLUID FLUSH. TROUBLE SHOOTING THE ISSUE, I REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE PADS AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS, FLUID LEVEL, ALL LOOKED NORMAL.

• 12/28/2016· SERVICE BRAKES

  2006 FORD FUSION. ABS ENGAGED WHEN HAVING TO BRAKE SUDDENLY ON ICE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WAS SOFT AFTER THAT, GOING ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE BRAKES WOULD ENGAGE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE NEAREST FORD GARAGE AND WAS TOLD THE HCU WAS PROBABLY OUT AND WOULD COST $2000 TO FIX IT. I TOLD THEM I NEEDED TO THINK ABOUT IT. THEY CALLED BACK LATER AND SAID THEY BLED THE BRAKES AND THAT FIXED THE PROBLEM SO NO REPAIR WAS DONE. THE BRAKES DID THE SAME THING A FEW MONTHS LATER WHEN BRAKING HARD TO AVOID HITTING A CAR WHICH HAD PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER READING COMMENTS ONLINE, I FIXED THE ISSUE BY DRIVING AT 25 MPH IN A PARKING LOT AND THEN SLAMMING ON THE BRAKES. THE BRAKES WORK NORMALLY AFTER THAT. I'M SURE THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARY FIX AND I KNOW THE MODEL YEARS 2007 - 2009 ARE BEING INVESTIGATED FOR THIS ISSUE. JUST WANTED TO ADD MY EXPERIENCES WITH MY 2006 FORD FUSION THAT I HAVE OWNED SINCE 2006. *TR

  SINCE WE'VE OWNED OUR 2006 FORD FUSION WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE DOOR HANDLE FOR THE PASSENGER AND BOTH BACK PASSENGER SEATS MULTIPLE TIMES. ONCE THESE HANDLES FAIL (RANDOMLY WITH NO WARNING) THEY CANNOT BE OPERATED FROM THE INSIDE. THIS REQUIRES GETTING SOMEONE TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM THE OUTSIDE. WE FEAR THAT IN AN ACCIDENT WE MIGHT BECOME TRAPPED. IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT I'M NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE WITH OUR 2006 FUSION, BUT FORD HAS YET TO RECALL THESE OBVIOUSLY DEFECTIVE PARTS. *TR

  TAKATA RECALL: ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM FORD. NO REMEDY TO DATE AND CALLS TO THE LOCAL DEALER ARE NOT FRUITFUL. YESTERDAY I GOT A SAFETY RECALL THAT SAID "REMEDY PARTS" WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN SPRING 2018 AND UNTIL THEN I SHOULD NOT USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. NOW THE CAR IS LESS USABLE FOR MY FAMILY AND IT CANNOT BE SOLD. I EXPECT A BETTER REMEDY THAN "DON'T USE OUR PRODUCT" UNTIL WE CAN REPAIR IT. I SUGGEST THAT EVERY OWNER AFFECTED SHOULD BE GIVEN A LOANER CAR UNTIL THEIR CAR IS REPAIRED AND SAFE TO USE. TOO MANY YEARS HAVE GONE BY. FORD IS JUST STONEWALLING THE PROBLEM AND SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE TODAY.

  [XXX] : THE INSIDE DOOR HANDLE BROKE ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AND DRIVER SIDE. THEY HAVE BEEN BREAKING FOR OVER TWO YEARS NOW. THE PRICE TO FIX THIS IS GOING TO BE 243.50 AND THE FORD MOTOR COMPANY WILL NOT FIX IT AND WILL NOT GIVE A PERCENTAGE OFF. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WHO IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WAYS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE FORD WILL NOT FIX. OR DO ANYTHING. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD IF YOU HAVE A WRECK OR EMERGE IN WATER YOU WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO GET OUT. I THINK YOUR DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED....THEY RECALL THE FORD F150 FOR THE SAME THING, I AM 68 YEARS OLD AND IF I GET INTO A WRECK THEY WILL BE NO WAY FOR ME TO GET OUT OF MY CAR.

  I HAVE BEEN HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR BUT THE SERVICE LIGHT HAS NEVER COME ON! I HAVE ALSO HAD THE KEY STUCK IN THE IGNITION! THESE PROBLEMS ARE GETTING RIDICULOUS AND TO HAVE FORD NOT COVER THEM IS JUST NOT ACCEPTABLE! THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING, NOT SHIFTING WHEN IT IS SUPPOSED TO, DOWNSHIFTING HARD. ANYTIME I TRY TO ACCELERATE TO PASS, OR SPEED UP IT BANGS AND JERKS REALLY HARD I'VE ALMOST DRIVEN OFF THE ROAD A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF HOW HARD IT BANGS. IT JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE, TO THE POINT MY KIDS ASK ME "MOM, WHAT WAS THAT?" THIS IS A COMPLETE HAZARD TO DRIVE ON THE ROAD CAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW IF OR WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN. LET ALONE HAVING MY KIDS IN THE CAR! I HAVE BEEN ALMOST REAR-ENDED A COUPLE OF TIMES BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS AND WON'T GO INTO GEAR, ALL IT DOES IS REV THE ENGINE AND IF YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS TO TRY AND GET THE RPM'S TO GO DOWN, YOU REALLY SLOW DOWN AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT! IS THIS WHAT FORD NEEDS?! IS FOR SOMEONE TO GET INTO A BAD ACCIDENT AND GET SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE IN ORDER TO GET THIS RECALLED?! THIS IS HAPPENING TO SOOO MANY FORD FUSIONS AND IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS!! SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS! THERE IS NO REASON WHY THEY CAN RECALL THE TRANSMISSIONS ON THE NEWER FORD FUSIONS BUT NOT THE VERY FIRST YEAR IT WAS OUT!! THEY KNOW SOMETHING IS GOING ON WITH THESE TRANSMISSION, THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO SPEND THE MONEY TO FIX THEM ALL AND I FIND THAT ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!! MY KIDS SHOULD NOT HAVE TO RIDE IN A CAR THAT COULD BE THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT ALL BECAUSE FORD DOESN'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM! IT'S NOT FAIR THAT I PAID 20K FOR THIS CAR AND WHEN IT HAS ABOUT 60K MILES ON IT FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO START TO MESS UP AND THEY WANT ME TO PAY FOR IT!! THIS IS GIVING FORD A BAD NAME!!! I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND A FORD TO ANYONE EVER!!! *TR

  THE CAR STARTED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR WHEN HAVING TO ACCELERATE. IT ALSO SLAMS INTO GEAR WHEN DOWN SHIFTING. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS, MY WIFE WAS GETTING ON THE INTERSTATE AND IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND SHE HAD TO COAST OFF OF THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE THERE WAS A TRACTOR AND TRAILER QUICKLY APPROACHING. WE ALSO CANNOT GO UP ANY BIG HILLS OR MOUNTAINS. WE HAVE HAD IT AT THE DEALERSHIP WHEN IT FIRST HAPPENED AND THEY CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND UPDATED THE COMPUTER. THIS COST $500. THEY FINALLY CAME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT NEEDED A NEW TRANSMISSION WHICH WOULD COST $4000. WE STILL OWE OVER $12,000 AND DO NOT HAVE THE $4000 TO REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. *TR
