THIS YEAR/MODEL VEHICLE HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT (HCU), WHICH AFFECTS BRAKING CAPACITY, AND EITHER IS OR WAS UNDER AN OPEN INVESTIGATION. THE HCU/ABS FUNCTION OF THIS VEHICLE CAN BECOME DISABLED WHEN JARRED BY HITTING A LARGE BUMP - SUCH AS A POTHOLE - WHILE THE BRAKE IS ENGAGED AND THE VEHICLE IS STILL IN MOTION. WHEN THIS OCCURS THE BRAKE PEDAL BECOMES INSTANTLY SOFT, LOSES BRAKING POWER, AND TRAVELS A MUCH FURTHER DISTANCE TOWARDS THE FLOOR. THIS INSTANT DECREASE OF BRAKE PRESSURE DRASTICALLY INCREASES THE STOPPING TIME OF THE VEHICLE. A POTENTIALLY VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY CONCERN. THE JARRING OF THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS A NEGATIVE AFFECT IF THE BRAKE IS BEING ENGAGED AT THE TIME OF JARRING. THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS HAD 3 OF THESE BRAKING INCIDENCES WITHIN THE PAST 12 MONTHS. (FIRST INCIDENT PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO NHTSA IN DEC. 2017). NONE OF WHICH HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT AS OF YET. THE PEDAL WILL REMAIN SOFT FOR SOME TIME. IT SEEMINGLY CAN BE \"RESET\" EITHER RANDOMLY, OR WITH EXCESSIVE BRAKE PUMPING OVER A SUBSTANTIAL PERIOD OF TIME. THIS SO-CALLED \"RESET\" COULD JUST BE A FORTUNATE FLUKE. I HAVE READ IN OTHER REPORTS OF A SIMILAR UNKNOWN \"RESET\" EFFECT, UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE. LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIPS AND OTHER INDEPENDENT SERVICE STATIONS SEEM TO BE COMPLETELY UNAWARE OF THE ISSUE. OFTEN MISDIAGNOSING THE MASTER CYLINDER AS THE PROBLEM INITIALLY. I THOUGHT I HAD HEARD OR READ THAT A REPLACEMENT HCU PART MAY HAVE BEEN RELEASED WITH A DIFFERENT INTERNAL LUBRICANT SUBSTANCE, WHICH WOULD SUPPOSEDLY PREVENT THE HCU VALVES FROM MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO VERIFY THIS. IF I KNEW THAT BETTER QUALITY, REMEDIED REPLACEMENT PARTS WERE AVAILABLE, I WOULD HAVE THIS PART REPLACED. HOWEVER, I DO NOT WANT TO PROCEED WITH AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR ONLY TO HAVE THE SAME RECURRENT ISSUES WITH A FAULTY PART.","products":[{"type":"Vehicle","productYear":"2008","productMake":"FORD","productModel":"FUSION","manufacturer":"Ford Motor Company"}]}]}
