Narrative

The contact owns a 2010 Ford Fusion. While attempting to park his vehicle, the brake pedal depressed to the floorboard and failed to stop as needed. The ABS warning light had remained illuminated on the instrument panel for years prior to the failure. As a result of the failure, the contact hit a steel door which damaged both the door and the front end of his vehicle. The air bags did not deploy upon impact. The contact experienced pain to his lower back but did not seek medical attention. Police were called to the scene and a police report was filed. The contact was able to drive away from the scene but continued to experience brake failure. He would also have to use his emergency brake to stop the vehicle as the ABS warning light continued to illuminate on the instrument panel. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where he was informed that a defective brake module caused the failure. The dealer was notified of the failure and informed him that his vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 19V904000(Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and a case was filed. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 250,000.
