Description of the problem	3/23/06 took my truck into dealership for what seemed to be the front left caliper sticking (truck felt like brake was continuously pressed, area smelled strongly of burned rubber). Dealership stated they took left front wheel off and found no problems, truck was okay to leave in. 4/6/06 - while pressing brake pedal, it went all the way to the floor and brakes were hardly operable. While driving to dealership, brake pedal would continuously alternate between working okay and depressing all the way to the floor. Dealership acknowledged lack of brake functioning and stated that is was a safety hazard and advised me that they would replace master cylinder. Kept truck overnight. 4/14/06 - same exact problem as on 4/6/06. Dealership again acknowledged lack of brake functioning and stated safety hazard. Dealership stated that the new master cylinder that they put in must have been defective and that they would need to keep the truck over the weekend in order to get another new master cylinder in and replace it again. 4/24/06 - same exact problem again. Dealership acknowledged lack of brake functioning and safety hazard. Dealership told me that the master cylinder push rod was not adjusted properly. Adjusted push rod while i waited. 5/18/06 - once again, brake pedal goes all the way to floor. Drove straight to dealership & was informed of safety hazard and that they need to keep it overnight, because they are not sure what is wrong. I don't believe any consumer should be stuck with a vehicle that becomes potentially dangerous without warning and that has been in the ford repair shop 5 times in 2 months for the same thing. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle due to the number of incidents and the dealerships lack of being able to correct it. I am now stuck with a $16,000 payoff on a possible death machine and i think someone higher than the dealership should seriously review my situation before this happens again. *nm

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
