| Description of the problem | I agreed to purchase this f150 on 1/27/2016 but requested that the mushy brakes be repaired first (pedal goes to floor). Went back to dealer 1/27 to complete paperwork and pick up repaired truck. Was told that the truck was checked by the service dept. And that brakes were normal. I completed the paperwork but left the truck there to be checked by the service dept. Again the next morning. I got a phone call the next morning saying the brakes had been fixed and the truck was ready for pickup. When i arrived at the dealership i went to the truck and pressed the brake pedal and it went to the floor. I was told that it had been checked by four service techs and all agreed that the brakes were fine. They also gave me a service report saying the brake operation was normal. I took the truck home that afternoon since it didn't appear that this service dept was not qualified . On 1/31 i took the truck to a different dealer. They said the master cylinder was by-passing and ordered a new one. It came in the next day and i took the truck in for repair. After the truck was "repaired" i got in the truck to head back home. The brake pedal went to the floor. I went back in and reported that it was the same as before. After discussions, the service dept got a new truck off of the sales lot and showed me that this break pedal also went to the floor, so this pedal operation was normal. I took my truck and returned home. Now i have a very expensive truck that i am afraid to drive. After an internet search for mushy brakes i find that there are many other owners with the same problem. |
