Description of the problem | It began with the driver side, the brake line started leaking and the brake pedal needed to be pushed to the floor to initiate any form of braking on the car. The car was just serviced, so it was thought that the dealer messed something up when fixing the car. Then, once it was fixed 3 months later it happened again, this time the leakage was on the passenger side of the car. Once again the brakes need to be pressed to the floor to work and fluid was leaking all over. Took it to the dealer again to be fixed. They said it needed to be paid for since bumper to bumper was only covered for 36,000 miles. Both times the brake lines started to leak (we were never given a reason by the dealer how it occured) while the car was parked and when starting the car, the brake needed to be pushed down all the way to start the car and there were warning lights that the brake fluid was low (due to the leakage). There was multiple attempts to contact ford regarding the issue with the car and they said since that specific part was not covered under their extended service program that we had to pay for the repairs. We thought the first time (7/15/2019) was a freak accident or the mechanic messed up when changing the fluids, but then the same issue happened on the other side 3 months later (10/14/2019) and that should not be a coincidence. |
