| Description of the problem | Ford has a known issue with the master brake cylinder failing in these trucks. Mine has clearly failed due to this issue, and my entire family was nearly killed on the interstate as a result. I took the truck to the dealership and they agree that this is the same master brake cylinder issue that ford has acknowledged as a known issue. But magically my truck is not included as part of the recall even though its a 2016 ford f-150 3. 5 ecoboost built in kansas city. All the parameters for the recall seem to match my vehicle precisely but yet somehow it magically is not included in the recall. Ford refuses to take accountability for this major safety issue and now i am out $500 out of my own pocket because ford refuses to step up and take care of this known safety hazard for me. Ford should be ashamed of themselves and with how many new complaints i see filed here weekly for this same issue the nhtsa should also step up and force ford to expand the recall because clearly not all affected vehicles have been recalled at this point. I cannot say it enough, this is a major safety concern. Me and my entire family were nearly killed as a result of this issue. It is appalling to me that ford and the nhsta have not done more to rectify this very dangerous and deadly problem. Next steps i see in the near future is a class action lawsuit against ford for ignoring this well known issue. This should have never happened and ford should take accountability for this problem but they are refusing because it isn't part of the "recall". Shame on you ford! |
