Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
Product type code | VEHICLE |
Description of the problem | The brakes went completely out. They replaced the master cylinder, upon getting it back the brakes failed to stop adequately, and it was returned at that moment. They "bled the brakes" again and returned it. There was only 1 work order for this. The truck sat for a week and not the brakes are soft and inconsistent. I returned it to ford and they stated it was working as expected; however in a panic stop the brakes failed to do more than 50% stop effort and on another occasion i pressed the pedal to the floor, and had hardly any brake. I took it back to the ford dealer and they said there was nothing wrong. Since they did not take it in for service there is no record of this third attempt to get the brakes fixed. I then called the ford customer service line and their answer is just to take it somewhere else. This vehicle is dangerous and it falls outside the recall notice for a replacement master cylinder. However that is the initial failure. I suspect additional issues; but ford is failing to address them. |
