| Description of the problem | When driving down the road and i start to brake the vehicle my foot travels half the distance to the floor before the brakes engage and start to stop vehicle. This happens on highway and residential driving. Made my concerns known to ford dealer but i get a printout of how "new" brakes work. When i made it clear to avoid accidents i had to pump brakes in order to engage brakes to stop vehicle, dealer again indicates that is the way it is to work. Had dealer service representative climbed into truck and depress brakes while vehicle was stopped with transmission in parked and declared "no problems" and "brakes worked as it should". When i agian mention it only happens when driving or vehicle in motion, dealer again advises this is the new booster. I have repeatedly mention that the brakes or booster are defective i get no reponse from dealer. Request nhtsa investigate the problems with the brakes. I have avoided accidents by pumping brake pedal to engage brakes sooner. |
