2015 FORD FUSION — Complaint #1748670
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:POWER ASSIST:HYDRAULIC:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS filed May 23, 2021
NHTSA complaint #1748670 (ODI reference 11418197) concerns a 2015 FORD FUSION and was filed on May 23, 2021. The owner reports the failure occurred on May 22, 2021. The report was geocoded to Massachusetts based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same FORD FUSION cohort independently describe similar service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:hydraulic:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2015 FORD FUSION shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
Front brake lines on ford fusion 2015 titanium broke. Only have the image of the break lines but the front drivers side break line was bubbled up and the passenger side brake line split while I was driving. My safety was put at risk when my braking system gave out in the middle of an intersection. This was confirmed by a towing company and by a break repair service company the same day. No warning lights came on until after my brake fluid had been fully drained from the car.
