| Description of the problem | Brakes went completely out while driving on a major highway, had to use emergency brake to finally stop truck. Found out there is a recall for 2013-2014 ford f-150 for this problem, however, ford did take a report today, but, they said this truck was not under the recall because it was made on 9-19-2012 and the ones under the recall #16v345000 were built in 2013. Funny that this is the exact problem yet not considered part of this recall. The repair involved replacing the master brake cylinder and the brake booster which cost $1193. 25. We were lucky no one was injured or worse. Just hope they do a very good investigation and hope this does not happen to anyone else who's vehicle was built in 2012. The other note is, the oil did not leak out onto the ground, so no visible problem was seen, the oil went into the booster. I truly believe that this vehicle should be covered under recall # 16v345000. - sharon h., homosassa, us |
