| Description of the problem | I had use the truck all weekend, it was running fine, parked it in my driveway. Started vehicle monday morning and got a warning light saying "brake fluid low". I've never seen this light in my life, let alone since owning this truck. Pushed the brake pedal, and it went to the floor, there were no brakes. Checked the reservoir, there was no fluid. Called el cajon ford, in ca. Told them i was having it towed in. In the meantime, got on line to research possible problems, found that there had been a recall for this exact problem. Got to the dealership and the service advisor acknowledged there had been a recall, but said he would need to inspect the truck. Called me back and confirmed this was the issue, but said my vin was not one of the recalled vehicles. Same parts, same problem, but not covered. I called ford customer service and waited two days for them to determine they were not going to cover this problem. This is a factory defect, not to mention a safety hazard, that is acknowledged by ford, and they are not standing behind it. Was told it was only certain vin made in certain plants. It's the master cylinder, that most likely made by one manufacturer and ships to all ford plants, |
