RECALL FOR ABS WAS ISSUED BACK ON DEC 18, 2019. LAST UPDATE IS THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A FIX EXPECTED BY END OF FIRST QUARTER OF 2020. IT'S NOW THE END OF FIRST QUARTER OF 2021 (15 MONTHS LATER) AND THERE IS STILL NO INDICATION OF A REPAIR DATE. IN ADDITION THERE IS NOW A SAFETY RECALL REGARDING THE DRIVER AIRBAG AS WELL. I UNDERSTAND IT TAKES TIME TO IMPLEMENT A FIX, BUT IT SEEM AS IF THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT PUTTING ENOUGH PRIORITY ON GETTING THESE REPAIRS DONE IN A TIMELY MATTER. AT THIS RATE, WITH TWO ACTIVE SAFETY RECALLS, EITHER FIXES NEED TO BE EXPEDITED; OR AN ACCEPTABLE BUY-BACK PLAN THAT ENSURES OWNERS ARE COMPENSATED FOR THE FULL VEHICLE VALUE PLUS TIME AND RISK.

NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 19V904. "PARTS ARE ANTICIPATED TO BEAVAILABLE LATE FIRST QUARTER 2020". FORD HAS NOT RECIEVED THE PARTS AND OR NOTIFIED ME. I JUST CHATTED WITH THEM ON LINE ABOUT THIS. HERE IS A COPY OF THE CHAT RESPONSE FROM FORD REPRESENTATIVE: "CARISSHA AT 13:07, DEC 15: BASED ON OUR RESOURCES, IT APPEARS PARTS ARE ALSO EXPECTED TO BE AVAILABLE DURING THE 1ST QUARTER OF 2021 FOR RECALL 19S54 DOT 3 BRAKE FLUID AND ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM FUNCTION. ". THIS IS ALMOT 1 YEAR LATE TO GET THE PARTS. NO UPDATES TO NHSTA WEBSITE THAT EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENCE. AS A GENERAL SIDE NOTE. IT WOULD BE GOOD TO HAVE WITH THE RECALL NOTICE ANY INFORMATION THE CONSUMER CAN DO TO THEIR VEHICLE TO MINIMIZE THE IMPACT OF HE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE IF POSSIBLE. EXAMPLES 1) WEEKLY CHECK OF BRAKE FLUID, 2) FUNCTION OF DEVICE BEING RECALLED IE TRUNK OR HOOD LATCH... THANKS FOR ALL YOU DO.

THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS 3-4 YEARS AGO. MY WIFE WAS BRAKING AT A STOP LIGHT AND HIT A SMALL POTHOLE IN WHICH THE BREAK PETAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND SHE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A FULL STOP EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK A LOT LONGER TO DO SO. SHE PULLED OVER AND I HAD TO PICK HER UP AND TOOK THE CAR INTO A LOCAL BREAK REPAIR CHAIN. BY THE TIME THEY WERE ABLE TO CHECK IT OUT THE BREAKS WERE WORKING FINE AGAIN. WHEN WE DESCRIBED THE ISSUE THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY REPORTS OF THIS ON THE INTERNET. I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THE BREAK FLUID WAS CHANGED SINCE THE LOCATIONS INDICATED WET OR DIRTY BREAK FLUID CAN CAUSE THESE SYMPTOMS. THIS HAPPENED A FEW MORE TIMES TO MY WIFE AND SHE DECIDED SHE WOULD NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. I THEN STARTED DRIVING AND AGAIN IN A SIMILAR SCENARIO IN WHICH I WAS BREAKING AND RAN OVER A MANHOLE COVER THE BREAKS WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP THE CAR. I AGAIN TOOK IT TO ANOTHER BREAK SPECIALIST FRANCHISE AND THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR OR ON THE INTERNET ALTHOUGH THE BREAKS PEDAL HAS BECOME SOFT AND HAS REMAINED THAT WAY. BREAK FLUID WAS CHANGED AGAIN FOR BEING DIRTY. MY BREAKS HAVE CONTINUED TO BE SOFT AND WILL REPLICATE THE ISSUE WHEN BRAKING AND HITTING A BUMP BUT APPEARS TO BE ONLY WHEN THE BUMP HITS THE FRONT RIGHT WHEEL. I NEED TO GET MY BREAK PADS REPLACED NOW AND DECIDED TO RESEARCH THIS ISSUE AGAIN AND I AM FINDING THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T FORD RECALLED THIS PRODUCT OR DOING ANYTHING TO MAKE IT RIGHT WITH THEIR CUSTOMERS.

WHEN THE ABS KICKS IN DURING A HARD BRAKE ON SLIPPERY SURFACE AFTERWARDS THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSES TO THE FLOOR WHICH MAKES STOPPING VERY DIFFICULT. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT UNLIKE THE OTHER TIMES MY PEDAL HAS NOT COME BACK ON WEEK # 2 OF BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND OBVIOUSLY AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THE 09 FUSIONS. WHEN WILL WE GET A RECALL? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE THIS IS ADDRESSED.

AFTER AN ABS SITUATION WHEN SLOWING ON A SLICK ROADWAY THE BRAKE PEDAL DROPS NEARLY TO THE FLOOR DANGEROUSLY REDUCING BRAKING PRESSURE INCREASING STOP TIME. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

THE BRAKES IN THE CAR SEEMED "SQUISHY" OR SOFT REQUIRING THAT THE DRIVER PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL NEARLY THROUGH THE FLOOR TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MULTIPLE SHOPS AND HAD MULTIPLE REPAIRS INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, 2 BRAND NEW MASTER CYLINDERS. SEVERAL NEAR MISS INCIDENTS HAVE HAPPENED BUT LUCKILY NO ACCIDENTS. I TOOK THE CAR IN TODAY TO HAVE THE TAKATA AIRBAG RECALL COMPLETED AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A NEW HCU. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS MAKE AND MODEL REGARDING FAULTY HCU PARTS.

I DROVE OVER A SET OF BUMPY RAILROAD TRACKS AND ABOUT A 1/4 MILE DOWN THE ROAD, WHEN I WENT TO STOP, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I STILL HAD SOME BRAKE PRESSURE TO STOP THOUGH. I MADE IT TO A PARKING LOT TO CHECK FOR LEAKS BUT DID NOT SEE ANY. I PUMPED THE BRAKES AND I GOT MY BRAKE PRESSURE BACK AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS BACK TO NORMAL.

THE ENTIRE DASH BOARD IS LIFTING FROM ITS ORIGINAL FORM. THE STORAGE/GLOVE COMPARTMENT WON'T EVEN OPEN ANYMORE DUE TO THE DASHBOARD LIFTING. MY A.C. HAS NOW STOP WORKING AND WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE PART OF THE AIR BAG ISSUE. THE VENT THAT IS LOCATED TOWARDS THE WINDSHIELD CONTINUES TO FALL OUT AND NOW JUST GOES RIGHT THROUGH IT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN ANY MAJOR ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE IN THE FRONT TO TRIGGER THE BAG TO GO OFF JUST YET. I NOTICE THIS ABOUT A YEAR AND HALF AGO. I CONTACT FORD IN EL CAJON ,CA AND THEY TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO GET IT DIAGNOSED AND IF THEY CAN PROVE THAT IT IS THE AIR BAG I WILL GET A REFUND BUT IF NOT I'M LOOKING AT $2500 TO PUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER AND POTENTIALLY FIXING EVERYTHING ELSE. I MADE NUMROUS CALLS AND I AM STILL AWAITING FOR A RESPONSE

DURING A BRAKING EVENT ON A SNOWY, SLIPPERY SURFACE, MY ABS WAS ACTIVATED. I WAS SLOWING DOWN FROM ~50MPH TO 0MPH IN ORDER TO MAKE A TURN. AFTER MY ABS ACTIVATED DURING THE INITIAL APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE, MY PEDAL BECAME SOFT AND I CAN NOW PRESS IT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. DUE TO THIS INCREASED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL, IT TAKES ME A SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER DISTANCE/TIME TO SLOW MY CAR DOWN. IF I WERE TO APPLY THE BRAKES NORMALLY, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO STOP IN TIME AND COULD END UP IN AN INTERSECTION OR IN AN ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ONCE BEFORE AND MY BRAKES WERE BLED TO 'ADDRESS' THE ISSUE. THE ISSUE NOW HAS REOCCURRED AFTER ANOTHER ABS EVENT. THESE INCIDENTS ARE SIMILAR TO WHAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE OPEN NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE16-017.
