| Description of the problem | Sudden failure of brake master cylinder without warning during normal driving in the city. This brake failure caused me to drive off the road in order to avoid colliding with stopped vehicles. This is the exact issue that is included in recall # 16s24, however this recall does not currently include my vehicle. The brake master cylinder suddenly leaked all fluid into the brake booster as described in recall # 16s24 causing the brakes to stop working completely, even with the pedal completely depressed. I am confident the same defective part/seal/assembly that is included in the recalled vehicles was installed on my truck, causing the same issue when the part failed. Ford has denied helping me with this issue, and i have a bill from downtown ford in sacramento, ca in the amount of $1009. 35 for the repairs related to this defective part. |
