Description of the problem	Vacuum pump failed on the engine causing the brakes booster to fail instantly. Lost all brake assist and had to use both feet with all the pressure i could muster to safely stop the vehicle. Vehicle is out of warranty for attaching parts, searched for parts. Parts required are vacuum pump and pump drive coupling, coupler was sheered off causing damage to camshaft internally. Searched for parts call 5 dealers nationwide and they are out of stock, searched all over the internet. No parts available in the world. Local ford dealer has 4 cars in shop waiting on pumps, parts won't arrive for 30 days. Called another dealer in the midwest that showed parts availability(6) all those pumps are for on-going repairs in shop and none of them are for sale. This pump failure is deadly, dangerous and not being address by the manufacturer. Plus even to repair within 30 to 45 days i had to use a salvage part (i may have bought the only one in the nation) called 12 salvage yards and they are out of stock as well. You can be driving along and then bam. Your brake assist boost will be gone and you do not know it. Luckily i was able to get the vehicle safely stopped. Part number is bb5z-2a451-c and other similar ford vehicles and experiencing this issue with the 2. 0l engine. Thank you.
