2011 Ford Fusion Brakes

This is a 2011 Ford Fusion HYBRID sedan. This happened to me on 2 separate occasions several months apart. Was driving at a moderate speed about 20 mph and applied the brakes to slow down but upon depressing the brake pedal the dashboard suddenly lit up with Service lights and the brake pedal sank to the floor with no power assist at all. It was difficult to bring the vehicle to a full stop. Put vehicle in park, turned the ignition off and back on again , and it seems to operate normally again as if nothing went wrong.

HAS A SOFT BRAKE, GOES DOWN HALF WAY AND KEEPS GOING DOWN TO BOTTOM IF PUSHED HARD!!!! THIS COULD CAUSE A COLLISION TO MY FAMILY OR WITH OTHER!!! THERE ARE NO WARNING LIGHTS AND IS EXTREMELY DANGERS AS IT SEEMS TO BE GETTING WORSE!!!! I CHECKED WITH FORD COMPANY AND FORD DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE IS NO RECALL!!! I INVESTIGATED MYSELF ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE RECALLS ON ABS SYSTEM TO FIX FROM 2001-2010 BUT STOPPED AFTER THAT!!!! I BOUGHT A ABS TESTER AND OPERATED THE ABS CHECK MYSELF AND THE MASTER CYLINDER PUMPS UP, BUT AFTER THE TEST THE BRAKE GO RIGHT BACK DOWN!!!!!!

During winter driving conditions, the antilock brake system engaged. Following the engagement of the antilock brake system, the brake pedal would press all the way to the floor and very little braking was available from the brake system. Distances to stop the car were extremely long and the car was inherently unsafe to drive on the road. There were no warning indications on the car. It was determined by a Ford dealer that the hydraulic control unit failed and needed to be replaced. Upon repair, the braking system returned to normal function. I have the failed HCU in my possession.

My 2011 Ford Fusion SE is experiencing a brake system failure similar to the one noted in NHTSA Recall 19V-904. The recall pursuant to NHTSA Recall 19V-904 only applies to model years up to 2010. I contend the brake system failure continues to be prevalent but Ford is refusing to acknowledge the failure as applicable to the recall simply due to the model year. No warning indicator appeared.

Brakes serviced within last 3 years. They should not have failed. A few months ago noticed that the Brakes after initial tap will go to floor. Then they completely failed with no warning when my teen driver was on a highway. Per mechanic there is a problem with the ABS module. Mechanic states we have the same ABS module as the 2010 Fusion that was recalled. However, per Local Ford dealer as our VIN # is 2011 it doesn't matter that part has proven to be faulty

My brake pedal stays down and I have very little brakes. i took it to my mechanic and he has been waiting for the part for over 6 months. I recently called him and he informed me that Ford was no longer manufacturing that brake part. What do i do now? My mom has a 2009 and she had the same issue and It was recalled. Will my car also be recalled or am I stuck with a car with bad brakes?

Braking on icy roads engaged the anti-lock braking. Immediately afterwards normal braking was affected with an increased travel in the brake pedal, down to the floor. This is the same behavior resulting in the recall of 2006-2010 Ford Fusions. My Ford Fusion is 2011 and not covered. I believe my ABS unit has the same sticking valve issue. I resolved the immediate problem by forcing the anti-lock brakes to engage 4-5 times on an icy road. The brakes are now currently back to normal operation. This is the exact same issue reported in the recall but excluded by Ford based on the model year of my 2011 Ford Fusion.

Started the car and went to back out of the drive way and all these lights came on the dashboard and started to beep. It stated to "Check Brake System" and "Service Advancetrac". Also had to press down on the break pedal super hard to make sure the car stopped. Took the car to the Ford dealership and they stated that the ABS Module needed to be replaced. There was no prior warning there was a issue. Glad this didn't happen while in traffic or on the highway. I see there have been similar issues with the 2011 Ford Fusion and not sure why there has not been a recall on this yet. Car has 103K miles.

Excessive brake pedal travel has almost lead to an accident twice. Brakes slightly engages at the top and then will have to press further to stop vehicle. This has almost caused an accident twice.

LOST BRAKE PEDAL, GOES TO FLOOR ABS MODULE BAD ON MY 2011 FUSION. FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND WONT DO NOTHING ABOUT IT..SEVERE SAFTY ISSUE

Brake system failed, brake is hard to push and has to go to the floor to stop. Brake light, emergency brake, ABS and traction light stays on. Car is not drivable.

FOLLOWING AN ABS BRAKE EVENT, MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS NOTED TO SINK SLOWLY TO THE FLOOR WHEN BRAKING. NO FLUID WAS LOST. I READ THE RECALL NOTICE DETAILS FOR THE HCU ON AN 2010 FUSION (19S54). FROM THIS, I WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT IF I BRAKED ON GRAVEL, I COULD CAUSE THE ABS TO ACTIVATE AND CORRECT THE ISSUE. THAT WORKED GREAT FOR SEVERAL WEEKS, BUT WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THE CAR, THE SINKING PEDAL ISSUE RESUMED. SHE IS NOT AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. I'D LIKE TO TAKE IT TO THE FORD DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR. I SEE THE INVESTIGATION 19S54 INCLUDED 2006 TO 2012 MODELS; HOWEVER, THE RECALL FOR SOME REASON ONLY COVERS TO 2010. WHAT'S UP? CAN I GO GET MY CAR FIXED? OR DO I NEED TO WAIT UNTIL MY DAUGHTER HAS AN ACCIDENT?

One more than 10 occasions my vehicle has failed to properly stop. For now apparent reason my brakes will go all the way to the floor. I've had the vehicle inspected and taken to multiple repair shops, however the issue is never resolved. I've almost been involved in TWO serious accidents. There are recalls on this issue from 2006-2010 and I've seen many, many complaints with the same year (2011) and same vehicle. PLEASE HELP

The contact owns a 2011 Ford Fusion. The contact stated that while her son was driving the vehicle and approaching a stop sign, the brake pedal was depressed and went to the floorboard. The contact stated that a warning message had appeared on the instrument panel that stated to see a mechanic about the brakes. Her son was able to steer the vehicle down a hill and into a curb until he was able to stop the vehicle. The contact's son was able to restart the vehicle and the brakes resumed normal operation. Her son had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who could not find any failure with the vehicle. Recently, the contact stated that her son had experienced the same failure. The dealer nor the manufacturer were notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 130,000.

While I'm driving my brake pad goes all the way to the floor, it's scary because you have break fluid so why the issue, and then they work normal. This needs to be recalled soon, can't afford to buy another car. I see lot's of issues with this so whay isn't this already up for recall, maddenining. If Ford works so hard to sell you a vehicle they should work HARDER TO PROTECT THE OWNER'S OF THE VEHICLE.

Brakes intermitent and low pedal with loss of power brake. Master cylinder and brake booster already reolaced by technical shop. Brakes continue to non efficient . Abs control module not closing fully their valves, afecting brake functionality. Even on fresh start on parking brake pedal goes way down.

This problem has occurred more than once in the past month, the last time being July 3, 2021. I have not driven it since then. The previous times it happened, I turned the car off, and restarted it. That does not correct the problem now. I Only have 72446 miles on this car. Brake went all the way to the floor and I could not stop. Displayed on my dash: SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC -BRAKE CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM -BRAKE - ABS. I was extremely lucky when this happened, but it could have resulted in a serious accident. It seemed to correct itself, but has happened again. The dash displays appear each time I start the car, so I an not able to drive it now. I will have to get it somewhere to be repaired.
