THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD VERY LITTLE CONTROL. I PUMPED THE BRAKES FEVERISHLY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SOFT AND HIT THE FLOOR QUICKLY. IF IT HAD NOT BEEN SO EARLY IN THE MORNING, I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. THOUGH I WAS ABLE TO SLOW MY SPEED, I WAS NOT ABLE TO STOP IN TIME. I HAD TO ROLL THROUGH THE RED LIGHT AND TURN RIGHT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. IT HAPPENED BEFORE ON THE HIGHWAY IN RAINY, INCLEMENT WEATHER. THE TRAFFIC WAS SLOW AND I WAS ABLE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

ELECTRICAL - THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL STOPPED WORKING IN ROUTE TO WORK ,SO I ASSUMED THE BULB BLEW OUT. HOWEVER, WHEN DRIVING THE CAR AGAIN THE TURN SIGNAL STARTED WORKING AGAIN. FOR THE TWO WEEKS THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL WORKED INTERMITTENTLY WHICH MADE ME VERY NERVOUS WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. AS OF NOW THE LEFT TURN SIGNAL IS WORKING AGAIN WITH NO INTERMITTENCE AND I DON'T KNOW IF/WHEN THE TURN SIGNAL OR SOMETHING ELSE WILL STOP WORKING OUT OF THE BLUE OR WHY THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PLACE. TRUNK LEAKAGE - THE TIRE WELL IN THE TRUNK AS WELL AS THE SPARE TIRE AREA WAS FULL OF WATER AND NOT SURE WHERE THE LEAKAGE IS COMING FROM. I HAVE HAD THE CAR 9 YEARS AND DON'T RECALL WATER IN THAT AREA. AT THIS POINT I DON'T PLACE ITEMS IN THE TRUNK FOR FEAR OF IT GETTING WET ON A HEAVY RAIN DAYS HERE IN FLORIDA. VENTS - I HAD TO REMOVE THE DEFROST VENT ABOVE THE DASHBOARD BECAUSE THE LINING THAT HOLDS IT IN PLACE IS BENT AND WARPED A/C - CONTINUES TO MALFUNCTION, I HAVE HAD THE AIR SERVICED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WHEN WORKING IT'S GREAT BUT THEN THE AIR BECOMES LESS COOL AND GOES COMPLETELY HOT.

  DRIVING TO PHOENIX FROM TUCSON ON I-10 AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH, TRAFFIC AHEAD CAME TO A STOP. THERE WAS A LOT OF DISTANCE BETWEEN THE CAR AHEAD AND OURSELVES, BUT WHEN WE HIT THE BRAKES ABRUPTLY, THE BRAKES APPLIED THEN FAILED WITH PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. RELEASED THE PEDAL AND REAPPLIED AGAIN AND THE BRAKES AGAIN STARTED TO SLOW THE CAR THEN AGAIN FAILED AND RELEASED. WE HAD NO PATH TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO AVOID IMPACT BECAUSE OTHER VEHICLES HAD PULLED TO THE SIDE, OR WERE IN THE OTHER LANE. WE IMPACTED THE VEHICLE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC AHEAD OF US WITH MINIMAL BRAKES. THE AZ DPS AND THE INSURANCE COMPANY WERE INFORMED OF THE FAILURE OF BRAKES, BUT A TICKET WAS STILL ISSUED. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THE VEHICLE BRAKES OR COMPUTER HAS YET TO BE CHECKED AS THE FUSION WAS CONSIDERED A TOTAL LOSS; THIS VEHICLE HAD ONLY 65,000 MILES ON IT, AND IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. THERE WERE THREE OF US IN THE FUSION AND THE AIRBAGS WORKED FLAWLESSLY, WE ALL WALKED AWAY.

  THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR. THE MOST RECENT EVENT WAS 12/16/2016. AFTER ABS ENGAGES FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME, BRAKES GO SOFT AND THERE IS NO BRAKING POWER UNTIL THE FLOOR, WHEN THEY FINALLY ACTIVATE. PUMPING THE BRAKE ITSELF A FEW TIMES CAN TEMPORARILY HARDEN THE BRAKES. WHAT FIXED IT THE PREVIOUS YEAR [UNTIL ANOTHER ABS EVENT] WAS DOING A FEW HARD EMERGENCY STOPS AT A SLOW SPEED. THIS IS NO LONGER WORKING AND THE ONLY THING I CAN THINK OF TO DO IS TAKE THIS TO A DEALER EVERY TIME IT ACTIVATES AND HAVE THEM BLEED THE ABS/BRAKE SYSTEM. I HAVEN'T TAKEN THIS INTO THE DEALER, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE BEEN READING, IT'S THE HCU UNIT THAT IS LEAVING A VALVE OPEN. BRAKES HARDEN UP AGAIN WHEN THE ENGINE IS TURNED OFF AND PUT IN PARK.
