| Description of the problem | The brake master cylinder reservoir is losing brake fluid that is leaking into the brake booster, causing loss of brakes. We were informed, by our goodyear service provider in our community as we do not have a ford dealership, that there is a recall# 16s24 for ford f-150 2013-2014 trucks with this specific and exact issue of brake fluid leaking into the brake booster, however our truck was made on july 18 and the recall date is for vehicles made between aug 1-aug 31. I feel this is a case of complete negligence on ford's part, as our vehicle is the same make, year, model and displaying the exact problem that the recall is for, yet they say it does not fall in their recall details, so it is not their responsibility. They are fully aware of this extremely unsafe issue with our vehicle, have a recall out, but because ours was technically made two weeks before the aug 1st cutoff date, they will not provide assistance and it is now our out of pocket responsibility. I am completely beside myself on the negligence and irresponsibility we are experiencing and receiving from ford/the ford recall department. |
