| Description of the problem | I woke up in early morning to leave for work. I backed out of my drive way and pushed brake pedal to stop truck and put it in drive, but the truck rolled down an hill and into trees. While pushing the brake pedal it went to the floor like i had no brakes at all. The truck did not stop till it was in the tree. My brake fluid is low which is a sign of the proposed recall which ford is disputing. This is extremely dangerous and ford says they are not aware of the problem although after looking online, it shows they are being investigated due to the issues with the brake booster box and master cylinder malfunctioning. Please help us make ford recall these before someone is seriously injured or dies. My truck is also showing brake fluid has been used, its about 1/2 full now. This is a common issue found when the master cylinder problem is in the truck. |
