2012 Ford F-150 Service Brakes Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Upon first starting the vehicle and putting it into reverse, the brake pedal becomes hard/stiff causing the vehicle to continue in reverse, even when increasing the effort in an attempt to stop the vehicle completely. At this time, a loud grinding noise can be heard as the vehicle fails to stop and continues to slide backwards down the driveway or parking lot. This happens in the morning when i leave for work, as well as when i leave the work parking lot. I live in a suburb surrounded by young kids and people out walking their dogs in the morning. It is extremely dangerous for me to back my vehicle out of my garage not knowing if there is traffic or pedestrians until i am completely outside the garage, at which time it is too late to stop the vehicle due to the malfunction where the truck continues to slide even after i push the brakes as hard as possible in an attempt to stop the truck from reversing. When investigating the problem, i discovered there has been a reported problem with 2011-2012 ford f-150 pickup trucks with the issue as the 'brake vacuum pump failure'. When contacting several ford dealers, my husband and i were informed that there has been a recall, but the recall was not specific to our vin number as it was made in a different area; therefore, they will not pay for it. One ford dealer associate was very rude about our situation as well. I should not have to be fearful every morning i leave for work that a small child may be crossing the sidewalk by my driveway when my vehicle's brakes malfunction, and neither should anyone else who is having similar problems but cannot receive the repairs due to having the incorrect vin number, simply because our vehicle was not at the same location as the others.

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.
