| Description of the problem | I was driving to work and on my way about 7 miles into my drive, i received a notice on the instrument panel indicating my brake fluid was low, i click the ok button and continued driving, ummiediately upon coming to the next light to stop my brake pedal went to the floor as i pressed hard to stop, the truck did not stop and i ran the red light but making a turn and nearly hitting oncoming traffic. The truck camed to a rolling stop and i pressed the emergency brake and stopped on the side of the road. This truck i purchased last year in february of 2018 and has only 32,000 miles but ford said the truck warranty had expired and the cost was $1235. 41. I am fighting ford and had opened a case but their investigation determined they are not at fault! I am here to see if nhtsa can have them recall their brakes. |
