NHTSA Complaint #11149709 — 2010 FORD FUSION

ABS MODULE SEEMS TO CAUSE RANDOM LOSS OF BRAKING -- VEHICLE STARTS BRAKING NORMALLY, THEN SUDDEN LOSS OF HYDRAULIC AND PEDAL GOES ALMOST TO FLOOR BEFORE SOME BRAKING RESUMES. IT'S A RELATIVELY INFREQUENT PROBLEM ( FOUR TIMES IN 6 MONTHS) WITH NO APPARENT TRIGGER, AND HAS HAPPENED WHEN PULLING STRAIGHT INTO A PARKING SPOT, STOPING FOR A STOPLIGHT, AND TURNING OFF OF A FREEWAY ONTO AN OFF-RAMP. WEATHER CONDITIONS DURING OCCURERENCES WERE DRY AND SUNNY TWICE, RAINING ONCE, AND OVERCAST AND ABOUT 50 DEG F ON THE MOST RECENT (OCT. 10, 2018) OCCASION. AN UNRELATED MATTER HAS TO DO WITH THEIR WHEEL LUG NUTS. THEY HAVE A TWO-PART CONSTRIUCTION, AND THE OUTER LAYER SWELLS SO THAT IT CANNOT BE SERVICED USING THE OEM TIRE CHANGING HARDWARE SUPPLIED WITH SPARE TIRE.
