| Description of the problem | I was driving about 35 mph and coming to a red light. I pressed the brake peddle and it went all the way to the floor. There was a warning chime and the dash illuminated a brake service warning and a low brake fluid level warning. There were virtually no brakes and i had to down shift the transmission and use the emergency brake to come to a stop, just in time before going through the intersection under a red light. We had the truck towed to a ford dealership and they stated that all of the fluid in the master cylinder had leaked into the brake booster. They said that our truck did not meet the proper date to be taken care of under the known recall (nhtsa recall #16v-345, ford recall #16s24) for the exact same problem. That recall ended on trucks built up to 8/14 and our truck was built on 12/14. We had to have the master cylinder and brake booster replaced under our extended warranty with only 22,901 miles on our truck. This was a catastrophic brake failure (virtually no brakes) with zero warning. If there had been traffic or if i would have been going any faster, this could have been an extremely dangerous brake failure. We are very concerned that the replacement parts are the exact same sub-standard and dangerous parts that had catastrophically failed. The dealership was not able to provide information that this very dangerous issue had been addressed and that redesigned parts had been installed in my truck. We feel that our truck needs to be included in the recall and that we need information on what was done with this problem to insure that it does not happen again. |
