Description of the problem	2012 ford f-150 ecoboost came off warranty in april, on july 2nd i started the truck, put it in gear (drive), and had no brakes. There was a grinding noise as if the abs was trying to engage. I had to practically stand on the brake pedal to stop the truck and put it back in park. Pumped the brakes a few times and tried it again same thing. I shut off the engine, turned it back on, and let it warm up a few minutes. Now it was ok. From then on when the truck started cold it has done this on a regular basis. Good thing i found this before i reached any speed, and while there was no cargo in the bed to add inertia. I did some research and reported to ford that the brake vacuum assist pump was likely corroded, and that this was a known issue on 2011-2013 f-150 ecoboost models. They needed a ford technician to make the diagnosis, which i was charged $100 for (to determine that i was right). They also reported a bad fuse for the pump. I am hoping nobody is trying to say that with a bad fuse these pumps will disintegrate in three weeks of summer weather? Let's be honest- the bad pump took out the fuse, if the fuse was blown. They estimate a ~$900 repair. I opened a ticket with ford motor company because this event exactly matches nhtsa preliminary investigation item pe15026. People with these trucks or anyone around them could get seriously hurt if the driver cannot react quickly or panics when this part fails, and it is a poorly designed part. Apparently this part was re-engineered for 2014 and later models. At the time of this writing i am hoping i can get some help from ford. I am a long time customer and have had no prior issue with the dealership or their service department. This is a manufacturing quality issue, pure and simple. I just wanted to report in order to make sure that this case was included with the others related to pe15026... Updated 09/30/15*bf

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.
