| Description of the problem | 10/14/2016- on 2 occasions applied brakes to slow down and stop. The brake pedal went straight to the floor. 1st time was to slow down to turn corner, brake pedal went straight to floor. Had to make wide turn to slow down. Was lucky no vehicles in either lane. 2nd time was coming to red light intersection, applied brakes and again straight to the floor. Had to pump brake to take hold. Vehicle had to be flatbed towed 1. 5 hours to home. After installed gps system was verified working correctly. This is company vehicle, so again had to be towed to ford garage. They just performed a multi point inspection, checked all hoses, no leaks. Advised ford garage of your report on loss of braking ability, their response "yes we know but what are we suppose to do, just start removing parts"? Dangerous to not know when this could happen again. Have ford garage receipt if needed. |
