Description of the problem | I was driving in the city and as i slowed coming to a stop light i pressed the brake and it was hard and wasn't stopping. I got it stopped. I headed home and a car was suddenly stopping in front of me, i stepped on the pedal and it went to the floorboard i had to pump to get it to catch i had to swerve into the next lane to avoid an accident. As i pulled into driveway and pressed on brake if hissed and chirped, this is very dangerous, i only have 66,000 miles on my car. Why has ford not been recalled on this matter from all the complaint out there about this all the way back to 2007? My husband is a car guy and he said it was the brake booster failing. Descriptions from other complaints and mechanical information comfirmed it. Along with fords attempt to minimize the large problem on all edge vehicles with an extended warranty on the brake booster on some vehicles # 13no2 and in complaints on this site. |
