Description of the problem | On10/4/2020, traveling forward on a nearby county road at approx 40 mph, the abs warning and advancetrac system failure warning lights came on. I applied pressure to the brakes and there was no power brakes. After becoming very excited and believing the vehicle would not stop, depressed the brake pedal several inches further than normal and felt resistance. With enough pressure i was able to bring the vehicle to a stop but not an easy task. If this had been a situation in which i needed to stop quickly, i do not believe this could have been managed. Contacted a family member and i followed them slowly to the local ford dealer. The ford dealer called the next day and stated that it was an abs module failure and that this part would not be available until november 2020. In doing research, i found that recall # 19s54 had been issued. And ask the dealer about it. They stated that my car was not part of the recall as the time range is from feb 22, 2006 until july 15th, 2009 for fusions built at the hermosillo mexico plant. My fusion was built on august 1st, 2009 or 2 weeks later at the same plant. The dealer also stated that my part # did not match exactly to the ford recall part # listed but is still part of the abs module. (a few #s off - i. E. 2c215 vs. 2c219) this all seems odd that in reading the other incidents, my fusion had identical issues but because it was built 2 weeks later at the same plant in mexico and the part # is a few digits off but part of the same module, my fusion's incident is somehow different. I question the validity of the test and codes. Also what is a person suppose to do when no parts are available for at best, 30 days. I guess i'll see in 30 days. |
