Description of the problem | On 12/12/2020 i was driving approx. 25 mph when my low brake fluid warning light came on. I immediately braked to get off the main road. My car did not slow down enough as i was pulling into a parking lot. I hit a curb, popped my front tire and my car finally stopped. Upon inspection by aaa, it was discovered that my front passenger side brake line was leaking. Car was towed home. On monday 12/14/2020, i spoke with ford who towed my 2017 ford edge to the dealership. There are no parts available and they do not know when the part will be available. The letter i received in sept. 2020 stated that there is a recall for this issue and to continue driving the car. Ford would contact me when the part came in - approx. Q1 2021. At this point, i'm without a car and could have injured myself, sister and 3 kids because an issue ford is aware of and has no estimated date to fix. |
