| Description of the problem | I have had 3 issues with the vehicles brake master cylinder failing. All in a 4 month period. The brake master cylinder fails and i am left with little or no brakes. The dealership tells me i have some kind of contamination in the fluid. They have replaced the master cylinder twice and ford will not do anything about the problem, so i am advised to replace all brake components to the tune of 2500. Dollars. This is a serious issue that ford motor company should address and wont help me at all. The brakes don't give you any warning when they are going to fail. Every time they fail i have been driving, luckily no one has been killed or injured yet. Nobody can guaranty me if i fix the braking system that it will work like it is supposed to. |
