| Description of the problem | While sitting stopped at a red light when i felt a lite thump on the brake pedal then the brake pedal went to the floor. No light or warning sounds at all. Pumped pedal and brakes were ok. Got home shut off and stepped on petal and it went to floor again. Checked fluid and it was low so i filled up with dot 3 fluid. Then i noticed fluid on driveway on right side near front wheel. Looked under truck and noticed fluid all over. Upon looking further it was coming from the right front brake hose. I think this is a pre-mature failure of the brake hose. I ordered this truck and took delivery in september 2015 and it only has 64,000 miles on it. The thing that scares me most is i just got done driving back from florida to nj towing my wifes 2018 ford escape on a tow dolly. God if that happened towing we would have had an accident. I know their is a recall for the master cyl. That just came out 6/2020 but i think you should look into their brake hoses also. I will be taking it to the ford dealer in the morning (all american ford point pleasant nj 08742) (6/15/2020) and want them to fix the bad hose and change all the rubber brake hoses. I do not feel safe now that 1 hose blew out in only 4yrs 9 mos. I do have an extended warranty so that should be covered. I have owned several new vehicles in my life time and never had a brake hose blow out like this..... I'm 67 yrs old. |
