| Description of the problem | When trying to stop at a stop sign my brake pedal went all the way to the floor not allowing me to stop in time and causing me to cross a major roadway; luckily there was not much traffic at that moment. I immediately pulled over and shut off my truck. Pumped my brakes and started it back up again. Everything seemed fine so i continued to drive it with no issues. About 10 minutes later as i was approaching a crosswalk by a school, a child stepped out into the crosswalk and once again i applied my brakes only to have the pedal go all the way to the floor. The vehicle does slow down but does not stop where it should. Luckily the child was not struck by my vehicle. I then took the truck to my local ford dealer which is was diagnosed with a bad master cylinder for the brake system. No parts available as of yet and supposedly they are on back order. This issue needs a full recall before someone gets killed. |
