After driving in rain, to work, where the anti-lock brakes were activated, the brake pedal went to the floor, on my way home, as I was turning into my neighborhood. I believe this is a recall issue #19S54. Ford wants to charge me $95-$115 for diognostics, and will not provide a loaner vehicle while they order parts (2 to 3 days). I do not feel safe driving the vehicle, and will need to have it towed to the dealership.this recall has been un effect since 2019, yet they have no remedy as of now. There is also a second recall for airbags. (I already had the first airbag recall fixed.) they want me to drive a vehicke with faulty breaks and an airbag that may explode, and kill me upon impact. My case number is cas31223959, but they offer no solution to this problem, which they caused in the first place.
Reference NHTSA recall number 19V904 - this recall was issued in December 2019: "on your vehicle, a valve in the hydraulic control unit of the anti-lock braking system may be stuck open....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...Ford is working closely with its suppliers to produce parts for this repair. When parts become available, Ford will notify you via mail to schedule a service appointment with your dealer for repairs to be completed free of charge (parts and labor). Parts are anticipated to be available late first quarter 2020." At the time of this message it has been 16 months since this recall was issued and it is now quarter 2 of 2021 and parts to fix this problem are still not available. This is especially concerning, considering that another recall was issued last month, March 2021 (NHTSA recall number 21V158: The driver airbag inflator in your vehicle may explode in the event of a crash that causes deployment of the driver airbag. If an airbag inflator explodes, sharp metal fragments could strike the driver or other occupants causing serious injury or death.). the combination of these recalls is genuinely concerning and neither one is able to be remedied by Ford at this time. Given these life-threatening safety recalls, I do not feel safe driving the vehicle. But I can't in good faith sell or donate the vehicle under this condition as it would be egregious.
The contact owns a 2008 Ford Fusion. The contact had initially received a recall notice in 2019 for NHTSA campaign number: 19V904000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part for the recall repair remained unavailable.

The manufacturer was notified of the failure but offered no assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Ford Motor Company sent me several recall notices. When I responded to have the recall done by their mobile unit, they complied. I had no issues with my airbag light in the dash prior to the recall being performed. After the air bag recall was performed, the airbag light came on and stated on. I called Ford Motor Company and notified them of the issue. I was told I had to bring vehicle in to be diagnosed for a fee of $129 dollars. Again I had no issues with my air bag light prior to the recall being performed.

My vehicle was in a accident involving a frontal crash of both vehicles in joliet and my airbags didn't deploy. I have since had my vehicle repaired by Ford recall of the airbags and now I have had to replace my brakes at least twice a year when I only travel locally with my car.
Dashboard around the airbag and defrosting agent is bulging and coming apart. I feel that this would be a malfunction if the airbag were to be deployed causing serious injury or death.
After the recall of the air bag. I never had the air bag light on the dash on. After the dealer fix my air bag it would turn and off most of the time but after taking the car back to get it check the light was not on the dash but after a few month the light is on now and it won't turn off the dealer ship want to charge me to fix the problem now it's on all the time even if I'm stop or moving on the freeway.
I schedule an appointment to get my airbag recall fixed on my Ford Fusion I took my car to the appointment was in there for about 45 minutes to an hour they came back to me told me they cannot complete my recall I had asked why they said because there is airbag bolts missing and we cannot complete the recall until we have those bolts so I was wanting to know that is it possible to register a car in pennsylvaniania with a faulty airbag system in it because the parts are missing which would have resulted in a nonrepaired system the vehicle does have an R title
I took my Fusion in for the airbag recall. The airbag was replaced and now the dash is slightly raised up and looks like the airbag is going to blow out of it anytime. Now the airbag light in the instrument panel is turning on and off randomly. I took my car back to the dealership who replaced the airbag and they say this is a common issue and has nothing to do with what they did. So now I do not know if my car is safe or not to be driving.
