| Description of the problem | Brakes go out after abs incident. 3 times in one year. 1st time/ icy conditions traveling at 15 mph approaching red light, abs engaged, brake pedal lost pressure and stayed to the floor for 3 hours before returning to normal. Last month, dry conditions on main city road , 50 mph posted speed, had to slam on brakes go avoid collision. Abs engaged, lost all braking ability because of no brake pressure once again. Brakes stayed out for hours, until minimal pressure returned. Replaced all pads and rotors, fluid, as well as master cylindar. 3 weeks later, dry pavement, mid turn (20 mph) lightly applied brake. Abs engaged and lost all brake pressure again. Has been 3 days and brake pressure has still not returned. After much research this is a common and reoccurring problem for this vehicle and also the for fusion model. After spending a lot of money for repairs and replacements, tests, the problem persists and returns. I do not feel safe in this vehicle with this issue!!! My son and i have been put in severe danger three times now due to a malfunctioning abs/brake system!!! |
