SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE TRAVELING AT 45 MPH TRAFFIC SLOWS. I COME DOWN HARD ON BRAKE. ANTI-LOCK BRAKE ACTIVATES, PEDDLE GOES SOFT AND CATCHES JUST ABOVE FLOOR. PEDDLE DOSE NOT RETURN TO NORMAL UNTIL CHECKED BY LOCAL MECHANIC AND HE RUNS A CHECK ON THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM. HOURS LATER BRAKES ARE BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS THE SECOND OCCURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM. THE MKZ IS A CLOSE RELATIVE OF THE FORD FUSION.

AIR BAGS, SEAT BELTS, WHEELS
MY AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON CONSTANTLY PASSENGER SIDE. THIS MAY CAUSE INJURY IF IN ACCIDENT I'VE REPLACES SEVERAL TIRES AND RECENTLY HAVE NEW ONES AND TIRE PRESSURE GOES COMPLETELY FLAT ON 2 BACK TIRES AND CONSTANTLY PUTTING AIR IN FRONT TIRES.. I RETURNED IT TO SERVICE STATION THAT INSTALLED TIRES AND HE SAID THE RIMS ARE SO CORRODED THAT'S WHY I'M LOSING AIR IN TIRES. THESE NEED REPLACED AND ARE COSTLY. I FEEL I MAY HAVE A BLOWOUT WHILE DRIVING IF I DON'T CHECK THESE DAILY. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. THE REPAIRS ARE TAKING TOO LONG. I DRIVE WITH MY 10-MONTH OLD IN THE CAR AND AM CONCERNED WITH THE LIFE THREATENING/SERIOUS INJURY POSSIBILITY IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE AIRBAG IS ENGAGED! I WOULD LIKE AN ALTERNATIVE RECOURSE AT THE EXPENSE OF THE MANUFACTURER, SUCH AS A LOANER CAR OR SOMETHING! MY FAMILY'S LIFE IS AT RISK EVERY TIME WE DRIVE THE CAR. I HAVE TWO CARS AFFECTED BY THIS RECALL AND WILL SUBMIT TWO COMPLAINTS. THANK YOU. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. RECEIVED NOTICE 07/11/2016 OF RECALL INVOLVING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE RECALL SPECIFICALLY STATES "A RUPTURED INFLATOR CAN SEND INFLATOR PARTS TOWARD VEHICLE OCCUPANTS RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I CONTACTED FORD CUSTOMER RELATIONSHIP CENTER ON 07/11/2016 AND SPOKE TO AARON. I ASKED HIM ABOUT DEACTIVATING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND HIS INSTRUCTIONS WERE NOT TO DO SO. AS OF THIS DATE THERE IS NO REMEDY, I AM UNABLE TO SELL MY VEHICLE, MY WIFE MAY BE IN SERIOUS DANGER SHOULD WE HAVE A FRONTAL COLLISION WITH AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. INFORMATION AVAILABLE INDICATES SOME MANUFACTURERS ARE RECOMMENDING DEACTIVATION. PLEASE ADVISE SO THAT I MAY TAKE PROPER ACTION.

SERVICE BRAKES
THE BRAKES DO NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE PEDAL FEEL IS SPONGY AND THE PEDAL TRAVEL IS EXCESSIVE (3-4") BEFORE THE BRAKES START TO SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN. BRAKES WERE FULLY BLED TO ENSURE OLD FLUID WITH TOO MUCH MOISTURE IN IT WASN'T THE PROBLEM. THIS ACTION DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. JUST HAD A FORD DEALER REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER--THAT DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. AFTER CONDUCTING A WEB SEARCH AND TALKING WITH THE DEALER MORE, APPARENTLY THE PROBLEM IS A VALVE STUCK IN THE OPEN POSITION ON THE ABS SYSTEM'S HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A BIT OF A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE FUSION, MKZ AND MILAN VEHICLES OVER NUMEROUS YEARS. THERE ALSO APPEARS TO BE AN UPDATED PART NUMBER FOR THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT. THIS CONDITION IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS THE BRAKES DO NOT PROPERLY SLOW THE VEHICLE DOWN WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED.
