Description of the problem | On 5/17/2016 while backing out of a parking space, i applied the brakes to place the vehicle into drive and the brake pedal went to the floor. The truck did not stop immediately but i could hear the sound of what i assumed were the brake pads against the rotors and the truck slowly came to a stop. Immediately after the brakes went to the floor, the dash alarm indicated red and audible beeps telling me to check brake fluid. I left the vehicle in the parking spot and called for a ride home. We were approx 10 miles from home. The next day, ford roadside assistance towed the vehicle to ford of clermont. The service writer advised me that they would be replacing the master cylinder and the booster pump and should be repaired in a day or two. On 5/19/2016 the service writer calls me to let me know that they are replacing my lines as well and the ford wants my brake system returned to them with fluid in the line so that they can inspect them for the failure. On 5/20/2016 i contacted ford customer service and told them that although they are replacing the brake parts, ford has not corrected the problem with the replacement parts. Ford did not offer to be proactive, they advised me that if the problem should happen again that i should contact them for assistance. I do not feel safe in this vehicle, i do not feel safe towing with this vehicle and i do not feel safe placing passengers in this vehicle. |
