 Description of the problemNormal braking capability was suddenly and completely lost without warning when vacuum assist hose separated from fitting on the intake manifold. Vacuum hose separated apparently due to some slight back-pressure that occurred when engine was started. Original design did not include a clamp on the hose. Correction of the problem required removal of the intake manifold to gain access to the vacuum fitting; the hose was replaced and clamped. Mileage was 23,442 but vehicle was out of warranty due to age of 39 months. Dealer did a "goodwill - after warranty" repair for which i was required to pay 20% or a minimum of $100. It is very disconcerting to learn that normal braking capability can be completely lost in this way without any warning whatsoever. I believe the ford motor company must be held fully responsible to correct what is clearly a design deficiency that has high potential to cause a serious accident resulting in personal injury or even death.
