Vehicle lost brakes when leaving pavement on to dirt road.brake pedal goes to the floor before stopping.vehicle slow to stop.vehicle in motion turing off the highway
While driving my Ford Fusion the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the car kept moving. I was able to pull the emergency brake in time so that I did not collide into the vehicle that was stopped in front of me. I have contacted my Ford multiple times to have car repaired due to recall and my recent brake failure issue and they have told me that they do not have a fix for my car.

The brake pedal will initially slow down vehicle at first but then you have to push all the way to the floor to get vehicle to stop. Like pushing on air at first and then you push to the floor. I drive and to slow down requires staying early and pushing all way down to floor.

Received a recall notice for a problem I have had with my Fusion (ABS module valve stuck open) which means the brakes work and lockup only when pressed all the to the floor. Went to 3 Ford dealers and none will help because the recall has no "solution yet". one tech told me to deal with a bad brake pedal and don't drive fast. That's not safe for my wife or child in the vehicle. Ford says parts may be available in the last part of the 2020 first quarter. The Ford recall states "the vehicle is safe to drive" its not very safe when the brakes dont stop the vehicle.

Antilock brakes pulsed and brake pedal traveled to the floor. Limited braking. 2-3 minutes for brakes to return to power. Vehicle was traveling at approx 15 mph in parking lot.
After the ABS engages brake pressure is lost and the pedal goes to floor. It takes a lot of effort and additional time for the car to come to a stop. From looking at other forums and threads it appears the hydraulic control unit is at fault. This has happened at least 5 times. This occurs while the car is in motion and the ABS engages.
I was driving my Ford Fusion on the highway, changed lanes so that I was behind a truck with reasonable room. The truck hit their brakes and when I hit mine the brake pedal felt soft. When the truck came to a complete stop there was no where to go as traffic was moving to the my right and I ended up hitting the truck. I completed a full brake job including new brakes on the vehicle within the last 18 months. There was no ABS activation or brake lock up under full breaking and I should of had time to stop.
I was driving and hit a slippery road surface.the ABS engagd and immediately after that the brake went very low and I could not achieve normal braking pressure.
