| Description of the problem | Tl*the contact owns a 2006 ford f-150. When the contact attempted to start the vehicle, the engine backfired. The vehicle finally started, and when the contact attempted to back up the vehicle, he realized that the power brakes failed. He struck a vehicle parked behind him. The brakes were extremely heavy and there was no power assist. Four days later, he took the vehicle to the dealer and the technician informed him that the vacuum hose was loose, which caused the power assist failure. The vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense. The contact filed a consumer review request with the dealer to apply for an extended warranty, but his request was denied. After further research, the contact realized that his failures were identical to nhtsa campaign id number 08v208000 (service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:vacuum:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings); however, the manufacturer stated that the vin was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 70,000 and current mileage was 90,000. |
