“Brake pedal sinking to the floor this caused my wife to back into another car and damage both cars. Now the parking brake malfunction light is flashing and acting up. Had towed to shop. I've seen recalls coming out on this issue hoping Ford is going to cover this expensive issue. Has caused one accident already. Please contact me about this.”
NHTSA complaint #11350215, filed 2020-08, 116,000 miles“I was leaving my home and the brakes failed. When pushing the brakes the tension gave way and the pedal just sank to the floor and the brakes stopped working. There was a similar recall for 2010 Ford fusions. Now the brakes do not engage at all they can be pushed with 0 effort to the floor and do not do anything.”
NHTSA complaint #11330297, filed 2020-06, 60,716 miles“I was trying to slow down on a small street to make a stop, when my brakes would not slow down. I looked down to see why they weren't working and when I looked back up I was out into the street and got hit on the drivers side by a cement truck. I was put at fault even though I assured them that my brakes were at fault because they did not stop or slow down when I pumped them.”
