| Description of the problem | After the vehicle is started and placed in gear, there are times when no power brakes are available and the vehicle is difficult to stop when it is only rolling at a few miles per hour (less than 5mph). You have to stand on the brakes to stop the vehicle, and if i'm towing a load when this happens it's a very scary event because the vehicle doesn't stop when you need it to stop. When pulling out of a parking position in a parking lot, i've come close to hitting a parked vehicle when my vehicle wouldn't stop as you would expect it to. I had my vehicle into the ford dealership today to have this vacuum brake pump replaced to correct this problem, a problem that they know that exists and that is a safety issue, and i was told that the part will not be available until halloween timeframe.... A 3. 5 month back order. This is the most popular selling vehicle in north america, and if this is happening to only a small percentage of ford f150 ecoboost's, it's only a matter of time before an individual is seriously injured or killed from this vacuum brake pump failure on this vehicle equipped with the ecoboost engine. |
