Owner-Reported Issues (20 of 5113)

Service Brakes9 issues
criticalSERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Feb 2026

Your car's braking system may unexpectedly stop working while you're driving, and at the same time the traction control and ABS warning lights turn on with a bell sound alerting you. This can happen at any speed and poses a serious safety risk since you lose your ability to brake. The issue likely involves the ABS system, brake sensors, or the brake module that controls these integrated safety features.

NHTSA #: 11720198
criticalSERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Feb 2026

Your brake pedal requires you to push it all the way to the floor to stop, and your car has lost most of its stopping power. Your dashboard is showing multiple brake and ABS warning lights. Even after the dealership replaced the ABS control unit and ABS system, the problem persists, and they've been unable to reprogram the brakes to fix it. The repair likely needs a complete brake system diagnostic and reprogramming, possibly including replacement of additional brake components or software updates.

NHTSA #: 11719061
criticalSERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Feb 2026

Your brake pedal went all the way to the floor without stopping the car, even though your brake pads are new. This is a complete loss of braking power that poses an immediate safety risk. The problem likely involves the brake master cylinder, brake lines, or hydraulic fluid system rather than the pads themselves.

NHTSA #: 11718220
criticalSERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Nov 2025

When you press the brake pedal, it travels all the way to the floor before the vehicle slows down. This means you have to press much harder and farther than normal to stop your car, which is a safety concern. The brake system will need to be inspected and repaired by a technician to restore normal braking performance.

NHTSA #: 11700229
criticalSERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Oct 2025

Your brake pedal has gone to the floor three times over a year, causing your car to lose braking power while multiple warning lights appear on your dashboard (service advance trac, wrench, ABS, and parking brake lights). After shutting off and restarting the car, the brakes work normally again. This intermittent brake failure creates a serious safety risk, and you suspect it's related to a known recall involving brake control unit (HCU) failure, though your VIN doesn't show an active recall. The repair will likely involve diagnosing and possibly replacing the brake control unit (HCU) and related brake system components.

NHTSA #: 11691295
criticalSERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Sep 2025

Your brake pedal sinks to the floor and your car takes longer than normal to stop. Even after replacing the master cylinder, the problem persists. Your vehicle matches the specifications of a known recall (19V904000) involving a faulty hydraulic control unit (HCU) valve, but your specific VIN wasn't included in the recall list. The issue likely stems from a defective HCU valve that needs replacement or repair.

NHTSA #: 11688901
criticalSERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Sep 2025

Your brake system suddenly failed while leaving a parking lot, requiring hard pressure on the foot brake to stop the vehicle. Warning lights for ABS and Service Advance Trac appeared on your dashboard, along with brake and wrench lights. The brake pedal doesn't travel all the way to the floor, and pressing hard on it only slowly stops the car. The repair may involve diagnosing the brake hydraulic system, ABS module, and related electronic brake components.

NHTSA #: 11685647
criticalSERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Aug 2025

Your car's ABS control module valves may become stuck, causing a complete loss of brake pressure and braking ability. Multiple warning lights on your dashboard will illuminate when this happens. This is the same issue that was recalled on 2006-2009 Ford Fusion models but appears to be affecting 2010 models as well. Fixing this will require replacing or rebuilding the ABS control module.

NHTSA #: 11682616
highSERVICE BRAKES
Filed: Dec 2025

Your brake pedal sinks to the floor when you press it, even after having the ABS system bled. You suspect the hydraulic ABS/traction control module may be faulty, but Ford hasn't issued a recall for your vehicle. The issue persists despite the bleeding procedure, suggesting a deeper problem with the brake hydraulic system.

NHTSA #: 11703476
Steering3 issues
criticalSTEERING
Filed: Jan 2026

Your power steering has failed and your steering rack and pinion needs to be replaced. Ford issued a recall for this issue, but the dealer won't honor it because your vehicle has exceeded the mileage limit. Without power steering, you'll have difficulty turning the wheel quickly, which makes it unsafe to drive—you may not be able to steer fast enough to avoid oncoming traffic or obstacles.

NHTSA #: 11711235
criticalSTEERING
Filed: Sep 2025

Your car's power steering suddenly stopped working while turning, which nearly caused a crash. You saw a "Power Steering Assist Fault" message on the dashboard, and you had to manually steer the wheel back home. This could happen again and may make the steering wheel very hard to turn at low speeds or in parking situations.

NHTSA #: 11690343
highSTEERING
Filed: Mar 2026

Your power steering suddenly stopped working while backing out of a parking spot, making it impossible to turn the steering wheel. Turning the car off and back on temporarily restored steering, but the problem recurred several times over a 2-4 month period. The issue appears to be related to the power steering assist module, which is an expensive repair.

NHTSA #: 11728007
Service Brakes, Hydraulic2 issues
criticalSERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Filed: Dec 2025

While stopped at a red light, your brake pedal went all the way down to the floor without stopping the vehicle, even though no warning lights came on. The dealer told you there's a recall for this issue (Campaign 19V904000) but didn't diagnose or repair the car. The fix will likely involve inspecting and repairing the brake hydraulic system, possibly replacing worn internal components or seals.

NHTSA #: 11705316
criticalSERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Filed: Sep 2025

Your brake pedal became unresponsive while driving—when you pressed it to stop at a stop sign, the car didn't slow down as expected and you had to pump the brakes repeatedly before it would stop. A mechanic replaced a valve in the junction box, but the same problem happened again 20 days later. The second time, the mechanic found that your ABS junction block and module needed replacement, but Ford had no parts available to fix it. The issue occurred at around 112,000 miles.

NHTSA #: 11688520
Fuel System, Gasoline2 issues
highFUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Filed: Mar 2026

You discovered fuel leaking from underneath your parked vehicle. After restarting the car several times, it seemed to work normally again, though your check engine light came on. You learned there might be a recall related to this issue but didn't get the vehicle diagnosed or repaired. Fixing this will likely involve inspecting fuel system components like the fuel tank, fuel lines, or fuel pump seals to find and stop the leak.

NHTSA #: 11723323
highFUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
Filed: Jan 2026

After refueling, you noticed a strong fuel smell inside your car that lasted for days. Your grandson found fuel leaking from the rear driver side of the vehicle. While driving 50 mph on the highway, your car shut off unexpectedly, and the check engine light came on. A mechanic found a cracked fuel tank and a defective purge valve, which are likely causing the leak and odor. The repair will require replacing the fuel tank and purge valve.

Filed: Nov 2025

Your power steering suddenly stopped working while driving, leaving you unable to steer the car properly. At the same time, your brake warning light, ABS light, and traction control light all came on, suggesting your braking and stability systems may have also failed. The power steering and warning lights have not returned to normal since this happened. This issue creates a serious safety risk and may require inspection and repair of the power steering system, brake system, and electronic stability control components.

NHTSA #: 11700746

criticalPOWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,SERVICE BRAKES
CrashFiled: Nov 2025

Your car suddenly accelerated backward on its own while you were stopped in Park with your foot firmly on the brake. The engine revved loudly, and despite keeping your foot on the brake and never touching the gas pedal or shifter, the vehicle moved about 30 feet across a parking lot before hitting another truck. The brake pedal had no effect on slowing or stopping the car. This unintended acceleration issue may involve a combination of problems including a failing electronic throttle body, worn shifter linkage, or brake system issues.

NHTSA #: 11700846

Filed: Sep 2025

While driving on the parkway, you experienced sudden difficulty turning the steering wheel at your exit. Your power steering warning light, advanced traction control light, and brake system warning light all flashed on simultaneously across your dashboard display. You were able to safely pull over to the shoulder and have the car towed. Additionally, your vehicle has an outstanding airbag recall that needs to be addressed, but you've had difficulty scheduling service appointments with local Ford dealers.

NHTSA #: 11687705
Wheels1 issue
criticalWHEELS
Filed: Aug 2025

While your car was parked, the wheel studs on the front passenger wheel detached and separated from the wheel. This happened at around 61,000 miles. The studs that hold your wheel in place came loose and fell off, which is a serious safety concern since your wheel could separate while driving. You'll need to have the wheel studs replaced and the wheel reattached securely.
