Brakes suddenly went out while vehicle was in use. Brake pedal went all the way to the floor and emergency brake did not work or secure vehicle. No dash warnings or lights showed up in advance for warning. Vehicle was towed to mechanic where it was confirmed that a part of the brake line had ruptured on the passenger side and would not allow fluid to be retained. Repair Cost was paid out of pocket and owner was out of work 2 day.

At 87549 miles the right front hydraulic brake hose ruptured under braking causing near complete loss of braking ability for the vehicle. The mechanic who replaced the hose said it failed at the wheel side connector fitting causing near complete loss of brake fluid in the braking system. There were no warning lights or messages prior to the hose failure. I requested the hose be saved and it is in my possession. The vehicle was not inspected by any other party.

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 -€œhoarding-€ 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.

I have an Electronic Brake System in my Ford Fusion. I rarely use the function. However, when entering into my vehicle, the Electronic Brake System is flashing BRAKE repeatedly, even when I never placed it in that function when turning off my car prior. I went to get my car tested and nothing was found. No problem codes. This may be a defect with the car itself.

The right front (passenger side) brake line burst. I started the engine and felt that the brake pedal would not move. When I pressed the brake pedal a second time it went all the way to the floor. Shortly after the brake pedal pushed to the floor the low brake oil warning appeared on the dash. I then looked under the car and I could see brake fluid all over the ground. Fortunately this didn't happen a little earlier in the day when my wife was driving in Boston and on Interstate 93. The results could have been very serious! I have found many existing complaints on the internet and there is already a recall for a couple of Ford vehicles (https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/rcl/2020/RCMN-20V469-7118.pdf) that should be expanded to cover Ford Fusions.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford Fusion. The contact stated while driving up an incline, the brake pedal was depressed when he felt a pop on his foot from the brake pedal; then without warning the brakes failed to operate as needed. The brake pedal then went to the floor. The contact then stated that he had to apply pressure while depressing the brake pedal but failed to completely stop the vehicle. The contact also stated that he exited the vehicle to check the front of the vehicle when he noticed that brake fluid was leaking from the vehicle in a puddle. The vehicle was towed to the residence and then towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the brake line hose failed and needed to be replaced. Additionally, the contact stated that on several occasions he heard a putting noise, and the vehicle would start to shake. The contact also stated that each time he refueled, the vehicle failed to immediately restart. The contact would then rev the engine for the vehicle to accelerate then the RPM would decrease and the vehicle would lose motive power and stall. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that he performed a diagnostic test on the vehicle and determined that the canister purge valve solenoid had failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 121,000.

The car had been driven about 5 minutes and then there was a complete loss of brakes. Because the vehicle is a PHEV there was regen braking to help slow the vehicle and get it off the road. We towed the vehicle to a Ford dealer where it took 5 weeks for them to determine the problem and fix. The dealer said it required a new wiring harness and charged approx $550. It is very disturbing that a wiring harness failure (electrical) should cause a complete loss of braking control -€" something that should have mechanical backup safety mechanisms.

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.

Brake hose ruptured. It was confirmed and already replaced by an independent service center so it is not available for inspection. My safety and others-€™ safety was put at risk with the inability to stop the vehicle in motion as expected. There were no warning messages/lamps/symptoms prior to failure or after failure.

It literally does what the recall says and mine isn-€™t covered" It jumps between second gear. The brakes do not automatically start working for like 5 seconds after starting it, you feel like you will go out into the road because it will not stop. Hill assist light is Constantly coming on which triggers abs brakes light and service light to come on and looks like a damn Christmas tree because the dash has so many lights on at night. You guys say it isn-€™t under these recalls"

This recall has already been reported; however, IT IS NOT safe to drive my vehicle and I would not recommend anyone else driving theirs. My car stalled on my as I was in traffic, this could have ended up in a very bad situation. I need someone to contact me ASAP [XXX]. Your recall notice states Ford HAS NOT issued instructions to not drive. You all have a lawsuit waiting to happen. People should NOT BE driving their cars.
