BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR MAKING STOPPING DIFFICULT

MY WIFE REAR ENDED SOMEONE. SHE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. LUCKILY NOBODY WAS SERIOUSLY INJURED. WE HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT THE BRAKES TO FORD FOR TWO YEARS. ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO FORD FINALLY ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE WHICH IS BELOW. THE MECHANIC AT FORD IN PETALUMA, CA SAID OUR CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BUT THEY ARE STILLLLLLLLLLLL WAITING ON PARTS. IT WAS PROMISED 1ST QTR OF 2020 BUT THAT HAS PASSED. I AM CONFIDENT THE ACCIDENT WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN PLACE IF THE BRAKES WORKED AS THEY SHOULD. "SAFETY RISK THIS MAY RESULT IN EXTENDED BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL REQUIRED TO STOP THE VEHICLE, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THE CONDITION DOES NOT RESULT IN A LOSS OF BRAKING FUNCTION AND THE VEHICLE CAN BE BROUGHT TO A CONTROLLED STOP. *TR

ON DECEMBER 27TH 2019. MY DAUGHTER SLIDE INTO THE BACK OF ANOTHER CAR AND SHE COMPLAINED THE BREAKS WERE TAKING TO LONG TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE CAR WAS TOTALED AND ON JANUARY 23RD, 2020 WE RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 19S54/NHTSA RECALL 19V-904. HAD WE RECEIVED THIS NOTICE BEFORE 12/27/19 WE BELIEVE REPAIRS WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE ACCIDENT AND THE CAR WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN SOLD FOR PARTS.

ON JUNE 17, 2011 MY DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING MY CAR AND I WAS THE PASSENGER, WE HAD STOPPED AT A FOUR WAY STOP. WHEN WE HAD THE RIGHT AWAY WE PROCEEDED ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. WE WERE STRUCK IN THE INTERSECTION BY A DRIVER WHO RAN THE STOP SIGN. SHE WAS TRAVELING AROUND 30 TO 35MPH AND STRUCK THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR, SMASHING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR, ALSO THE FRONT SUPPORT WHERE THE WINDOW SHIELD IS ATTACHED. ALSO THE MIDDLE SUPPORT WHERE THE FRONT AND BACK DOORS ATTACHED, ALONG WITH THE TOP AND BOTTOM SUPPORTS OF THE VEHICLE. THE DOOR HAD TO BE CUT OFF THE VEHICLE TO REMOVE ME OUT OF IT. THE VEHICLE WAS DEEMED A TOTAL LOSS. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SIDE CURTAIN AIR BAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN A CRASH OF THIS NATURE. WHY EVEN HAVE THEM IF THEY DO NOT WORK.

I WAS DRIVING OUR 2008 FUSION ON WINDING ROADS NEAR OUR HOME IN WNC. I WAS INTO A SWITCH BACK TURN AND WAS APPROACHED BY AN ONCOMING VEHICLE WHICH WAS ON MY SIDE OF THE DOUBLE YELLOW LINE. I DID NOT HAVE TO SWERVE BUT ALLOWED PLENTY OF ROOM FOR THE OTHER VEHICLE TO PASS. AS THEY PASSED I WAS PULLED INTO THE SNOW AND ICE AND OFF THE ROAD. I HIT THE SIDE OF A MOUNTAIN AND CAME TO AN INSTANT STOP. OUR VEHICLE HAS SUSTAINED MANY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WORTH OF DAMAGE IE FRONT END BUMPER AND SHEET METAL ENGINE CRADLE BROKEN, FRAME FLOOR ROOF BUCKLED DOORS ON THE RIGHT SIDE WINDSHIELD. ALL THIS DAMAGE WITH NO AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT OR SEAT BELT INTERLOCK! I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 TO 35 MPH AND SUSTAINED SEVERAL INJURIES AMONG WHICH ARE; FACIAL LACERATIONS AND CONTUSIONS, KNEE INJURY RESULTING IN BRUISING AND CONTUSIONS AND REINJURING OF RECENT SHOULDER SURGERY. I ALSO AM SEEKING LEGAL ADVISE AS TO FORDS LIABILITIES. *TR

1. CAME UP TO A RED LIGHT AND PRESSED MY BRAKE. FUSION IMMEDIATELY SPEEDED INTO THE INTERSECTION THROUGH THE RED LIGHT. FUSION ACTED LIKE IT WAS POSSESSED. I WAS STRUCK BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON RT. 511OR LORAIN STREET IN OBERLIN, OHIO. THE LIGHT ON LORAIN AND S. PLEASANT WAS FLASHING. I HAD THE YELLOW FLASHING LIGHT I WAS DRIVING 35 THE SPEED LIMIT AND A GIRL WITH HER TWO CHILDREN DID NOT STOP FOR HER RED LIGHT AND I HIT HER T-BONE. MY AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND MY SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK. THIS FORCED ME TO GRIP THE STEERING WHEEL WITH MY HANDS AND AS I DID THIS I BRUISED MY ARMS, CHEST FROM THE STEERING WHEEL TRAUMA. I RAISED UP FROM THE SEAT AND HIT THE TOP OF MY KNEES AND THEY ARE BRUISED. I WAS TAKEN BY AMBULANCE TO THE NEAREST HOSPITAL FOR TREATMENT AND RELEASE. I MISSED 3 DAYS OF WORK AND STILL HAVE PAIN IN MY MUSCLES AND TRAUMA TO MY BODY. I HAVE CONTACTED FORD MOTOR CO. FOR THEIR RESPONSE. I FEEL I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED DUE TO MY INJURIES AND MISSING WORK. AND IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AND THIS HAPPENED I COULD HAVE BEEN HURT WORSE OR THROWN THROUGH THE WINDSHIELD. THERE WAS EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY CAR AND I HAVE A RENTAL FOR OVER TWO WEEKS I HAVE TO DRIVE. I WOULD LIKE SOMEONE TO CHECK INTO FORD MOTOR CO. I WILL SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL IF THIS IS NOT RESOLVED. *TR

My Breaks gave way for some odd reason I ran into a cable box trying to control or rather stop the vehicle.
