| Description of the problem | I was driving down the interstate at about 70 mph and suddenly had to apply my brakes because a car in front of me stopped suddenly and when i did the brake pedal went straight to the floor board and stopped as if i was barely pushing the brakes. I had to push the emergency brake in to stop the vehicle. I almost had a very serious accident and if i had not swerved off the road i would had hit the car in front of me at close to 60 mph and my vehicle gave no warning lights or other indication that anything was wrong even after i found the issue which is very troubling. I had my vehicle towed to ford and after further investigation it was determined the master cylinder failed which caused the brakes to not work properly. When i asked ford if they replaced it with a new part that was not part of the defective line the technician told me they replaced it with a new master cylinder but it still has potential to fail as it is part of the defective line that is causing these issues and ford does not have any other way of fixing it. I am seriously concerned with mine and my families safety in this vehicle as i have a boat and other things i tow from time to time and my children are in the car with me. I am concerned someone is going to be injured or die because of this issue because i almost had a very bad accident due to this. Please investigate this issue as i have tried to speak with ford to get a new vehicle or swap for something safer but have not been able to get anything accomplished besides getting the run around. I have had my 5. 0 liter v8 2016 f-150 for almost 4 months and 7000 miles and bought it brand new with 2 miles on it. |
