2010 FORD FUSION Complaints

I HAVE A 2010 FORD FUSION SE WHERE THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM LITERALLY FAILED WHILE RUNNING MY ERRANDS. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR WHEREBY I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. FORTUNATELY I DID NOT HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING. THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP EVENTUALLY DIAGNOSED THE "HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT" HAD COMPLETELY FAILED. READING ONLINE, IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS HAS BECOME A NATIONAL PROBLEM REGARDING THESE PARTICULAR FORD VEHICLES AND QUITE A FEW PEOPLE UNFORTUNATELY HAVE HAD ACCIDENTS SINCE THEY COULD NOT STOP PROPERLY IN TIME. IT APPEARS THIS HAS / COULD BECOME A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION FOR OTHERS ON THE ROAD. CARS SHOULD BE ABLE TO STOP PROPERLY AND A CAR WHOSE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS WITHOUT NOTICE COULD SERIOUSLY HURT / PERHAPS KILL SOMEONE. WE WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT IF A NATIONAL RECALL WAS ORDERED BY THE NHTSA. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ASSISTANCE.

BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD OF THE CAR AND THE CAR DID NOT REACT WELL TO STOPPING AS MY DAUGHTER APPROACHED A STOP LIGHT. SCARY NONTHELESS. NORMAL BRAKING WORKED AFTER THAT ONE INCIDENT. ANYWAY WE BROUHT TO PRIVATE MECHANIC TO CHECK THINGS OUT AND HE DID NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH BRAKE LINE OR PADS. STILL SCARY TO THINK THIS MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE DOLLAR STORE ABOUT THREE MILES AWAY FROM MY HOME AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HILL HEADED TOWARDS MY HOUSE A LIGHT CAME ON IN THE DASH BOARD. THE NEXT THING THAT HAPPEN WAS A WARNING CAME ACROSS THAT READ " SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW". LUCKILY I WAS NOT VERY FAR FROM AND WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT INTO MY DRIVEWAY. I HAVEN'T DROVE THE CAR SINCE THE INCIDENT THINKING MAYBE IT WOULD RESET, BUT IT HASN'T AND THE STEERING WHEEL WILL NOT EVEN TURN NOW.
