| Description of the problem | As a ford owner why was i not notified of possible brake issues with my f150? I was driving home from the airport on sunday morning on the freeway when a light came on about brake fluid. I tested my brakes. They worked. I continued cautiously to my exit. For whatever reason (grace of god) i took my foot off the gas when i got off on the off the exit. As i neared the stop light and applied the brake, i found i didnt have any!!!! The e brake barely stopped me. Had i not decelerated when i did i would not have been able to stop! I could've been killed!!! When i called ford they never mentioned any issues!!! I pull a travel trailer and had a trip planned this upcoming week. Had this happened then the outcome could've been horrific! How can i trust that once the vehicle is fixed it is safe? Im afraid to take my grand kids in my car! How can i trust ford when they weren't up front about the situation to begin with. Do we wait for fatalities before we do something? What's my recourse? I have always been a strong ford supporter (my mom retired from ford) but am extremely disappointed by ford and by any and all agencies that govern notifications of such issues. I should not have to be web surfing to find out that there are issues. I have a brand new rig for a reason and am paying for it with the expectation that i can feel safe in my rig! |
