| Description of the problem | I had just left my house and reached the main intersection of kellogg (highway 54) and oliver to turn west onto the ramp to get on kellogg where the speed of traffic is 60mph. I approached a red light and attempted to stop north of kellogg on oliver. As i pressed my foot on the break pedal to stop at the light, my foot went all the way down to the floor. I coasted into the intersection and directed the steering wheel to the right towards the on ramp. I was able to slow down enough since i hadn't even reached 35mph and put my hazards lights on and placed my truck in park. I was convinced someone had tampered with my brakes and they were trying to kill me! I frantically called my boyfriend who was able to calm me down enough to call a tow truck. I had only had my brand new truck for less than a month! It is currently at a ford dealership to be repaired and has been there for almost a month. I was told by the ford dealership that the master cylinder was the cause of the problem and that the parts needed for repair are on backorder. I researched and saw that the ford f-150 trucks in 2013 and 2014 had been recalled for faulty master cylinders. I assumed that by now ford would have corrected the issue but clearly they have not. |
