| Description of the problem | First of all i have a pickup with a reconstructed title. Upon entering highway and starting to accelerate, i had to stop immediately for stopped vehicle in front of me. My pedal was real hard and it didn't feel like my normal pedal. I wasn't sure i would stop, but it did just in time. It is the hardest i have ever applied a brake pedal in my 44 plus years driving and not one tire locked up or any pulsation on pedal. Ford has sent me a letter with customer satisfaction program "15n05". Vacuum pump failure. Which applies to what happen to me. They informed me that this was a warranty issue that branded titles are not covered, not a safety issue, which would cover a branded title. How can brakes not be safety? Ford has changed this brake system after only a couple of years. Just because it only involves a couple of years, ford should make this a safety issue not extended warranty to keep the nhtsa from forcing their hand. |
