| Description of the problem | Extremely hard brake pedal, vehicle will not stop easily in normal braking conditions, if pedal is pumped repeatedly red brake light and check brake system warning appear. If key is cycled on then off warnings go away but brake pedal feels the same. After extensive research i found vacuum pump (non electric) leaking oil. I replaced it and the same issues still happen. I've found 2 recalls that don't apply to my truck. One recall states the master cylinder seal is leaking which causes the brake pedal to go to the to floor. The other is a stiff pedal but that one was for an electric vacuum pump issue. Please help before ford kills me. Also. I asked my local dealership (bell ford) for tsbs regarding this and was denied the information. This should be classified as a safety recall that never ever expires!!!!!!!!! |
