“My dash warning lights for the brake system, advanced traction control, brake failure, and check engine light came on all of a sudden and my brake pedal went straight to the floor when I was coming to a stop... Almost causing an accident. My brake pads and rotors are all in good shape. My tires are in great shape as well. There was no warning before the pedal went straight to the floor.”
NHTSA complaint #11231854, filed 2019-07, 108,000 miles“I was driving right before entering the highway when my brakes suddenly went out and the service advanctrac and power steering lights came on. I stopped my car at the light and proceeded to turn it off and then back on. The problem seems to have went away; however, this is not the first time this has happened.”

My mother did not know about the issues many people have with these model cars. She would have never bought the car if she did.

NHTSA complaint #11043769, filed 2017-11, 69,305 miles“Sister was driving a 2011 Ford Fusion Hybrid home from work on the freeway going about 80mph as she lost power steering. She went up an embankment and flew threw the air and hit a pillar. We know advance trac light was coming on the day before that from her google activity. She will never be able to tell us because she died in the crash that was cause from the power steering loss on 8/29/17. She was 17 yrs old. This is a tragic loss for our family and is not ok for Ford to sell cars like this. Someone do something!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #11044929, filed 2017-11, 69,800 miles“Power steering failure after warning as vehicle was started. I was able to drive with superhuman effort directly to the nearest Ford dealer in escondido, california where we were when the incident occurred. Internet sources indicate that this failure is common and we identified a recall related to the issue. The dealer replaced the power steering rack and refused to apply the known issue recall. The dealer stated that although our vehicle was manufactured in the hermosillo plant during the time period stated in the recall, our VIN did not register the recall.”
