Brake lights stay on even after turning off car. According to my research the problem is a brake pedal bumper that deteriorated. I actually found the rubber piece on the floor. Prior to finding out my brakes remained on, the red engine light turned on. I checked recalls for this problem, and there was one, but it was only valid for high humidity States. I live in California so I didn't qualify. Now, due to not knowing what the red light was about, and it being smog time, I cleared the engine light. Well, I didn't know that disqualifies my smog test because other codes were erased.now I have a car that is battery disconnect since I can't drive it due to not smog certified. All because of a rubber brake part falling off. I?called my dealer if it was covered by recall, they said no, even though there IS a recall for humid areas. I don't live in a humid area. So my case shows that it DOES NOT have to be humidity related. It's just a cheap quality part. I'm hoping this changes to include ALL areas. Thank you.

My brakes periodically engage autonomously, including when I have cruise control on, or at home, which respectively turns off cruise control, and leaves my brakes lights on, killing my battery. It is my understanding that my year make and model have a recall for the brake sensor switch, but does not show for my VIN. My car was located in Texas satisfying the hot/ humid condition of the existing recall.

My brake pedal began losing pressure while driving. the low brake fluid light and a beeping tone started and stopped intermittently when applying the brakes. I made it safely home that evening. The next morning there was no brake pressure on the pedal and a puddle of fluid in the garage. I have had issues getting Ford and my local dealership (Joe Machens Ford) to tow my vehicle for repairs and supply me with a loaner vehicle in the meantime. I was told I would have to pay to fix the issue myself or wait for parts to be made available in Q3 2023 by the Ford representative over the phone.

This is actually not a complaint. The recall for my 2014 Ford Fusion has been completed. Recall 23S12/NHTSA Recall 23V162. The brake lines leaked last fall sometime, so I had it repaired at a local auto repair shop, not a Ford Dealer. After the repair, I got the recall notice. I took the notice and my receipt to my Ford Dealer, Borgman Ford, Grandville, Michigan. I was reimbursed by them for the cost of the repair. Evidently, they did not enter into the database that the repair has been done, because I am still getting the recall notices. Getting the notices is not what bothers me, it's that if and when I decide to sell or trade it in, the recall will show not complete. I would appreciate it if you could complete the recall notice.

While riding in the above vehicle we were going about 40 miles per hour. Then about 50 feet in front of us there was a vehicle that was reversing. The driver hit the break very hard but the vehicle was not slowing down. While I understand that the recent recalls of 2013 - 208 Ford Fusion sedan were not for hybrid vehicles. I think the hybrid also have the same issue or have a different with the brakes of the car. It

The front passenger side brake hose failed without warning. When I stepped on the brake the pedal went down to the floor. The fluid was leaking out, but was able to make it home. I informed the dealer, but they indicated there was no recall in place. I had the hose replaced. About 6 months later the Front Driver side brake hose failed in the same way. Again the brake pedal went down to the floor and was able to make it home. Again looked for any recall notice and found none. I had the hose replaced.

I took my 2014 ford fusion, per a recap letter, to my local dealership on 10/11/22. I was notified today, 10/14/22, that the part ordered was DENIED by ford due to a policy to prevent dealerships from “hoarding” parts. Apparently my dealership has ordered too many brake line parts. I was told that they would retry on 10/17/22 but couldn’t guarantee it would be approved. I’m the meantime I’m without a car as my brake line is leaking and if I have to drive it’s a risk. How can parts be DENIED for a RECALL?!?!? This policy puts drivers at extreme risk of injury or death while they wait for their cars to be fixed.
