NHTSA Complaint #11061613 — 2007 FORD FUSION

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR THAT IS VERY DANGEROUS, AND COULD BE LIFE THREATENING TO ME AND OTHERS. UNDER CERTAIN CONDITIONS MY BRAKES WILL NOT WORK. IT HAPPENS WHEN THE ROAD IS WET OR HAS SNOW ON IT. A FEW DIFFERENT THINGS HAS HAPPENED WHICH APPARENTLY DEPENDS HOW SLIPPERY THE ROAD IS. WHEN BRAKING SOMETIMES THERE WILL BE A ODD NOISE WHICH I THINK IS THE SAFETY BRAKING FEATURE, BUT EVEN THAT DOESN'T SEEM TO WORK CORRECT. THE WORST IS THIS. AGAIN, WHEN SLICK OR SLIPPERY ROADS. THERE HAVE BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES WHEN TRYING TO BRAKE I HAVE LOST ALL BRAKING. THE BRAKE PEDEL GOES COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. ON A FEW OCCASIONS THIS HAPPENED WHILE TRYING TO STOP BEFORE A STOP SIGN AND ENDED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS HAS HAPPENED GOING AT A SPEED OF 10 TO 55 MPH. TWICE THIS HAPPENED WHERE THE STOP SIGN WAS AT A ROAD THAT WAS 55 MPH. YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I HAVE READ ONLINE THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY HAS NOTHING BEEN DONE ABOUT THIS POTENTIALLY DEADLY SITUATION ? FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE DEATHS BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN ? THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THE BRAKES NEEDED TO BE BLEAD. THEY SEEMED TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM....AGAIN, WHY AND THE HELL IS NOTHING BEING DONE ABOUT IT ? NEXT I AM GOING TO WRITE MY STATE REPRESENTATIVE OR SOMEONE WHO CAN MAKE SOMETHING HAPPEN. I BELIEVE I WROTE TO YOU BEFORE, BUT LOST THE PAPERWORK THAT CAME. BUT IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE NOTHING WAS BEING DONE ABOUT IT ANYWAY. OH, AND WHEN THE BRAKES WERE BLEAD BY THE DEALER IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE. AT LEAST WHEN OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS HAVE RECALLS SOMETHING APPEARS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT . HERE IN THE GOOD OLE USA THINGS SEEM TO DRAG ON AND ON AND ON. SO DOES THAT MEAN FOREIGN MANUFACTURERS ARE MORE CONSIDERATE FOR OUR SAFETY THAN OWN COUNTRY ? I WANT ACTION.
