| Description of the problem | I experienced exactly the same situation as numerous other drivers have reported: in july 2018 i was traveling approximately 50 mph on a county road. I began braking to stop st a red light, while braking the car went over some rough pavement and immediately the brake pedal went soft and went all the way to the floor. The car stopped in time but the effort required to stop was much greater than usual and the car only barely stopped in time. After i stopped and began driving the brakes returned to normal. But needless to say i am quite wary and not confident in the braking safety of this vehicle. If this had been an emergency braking situation the result could have been catastrophic! This situation must be adressed by ford as a recall immediately. 1,000 |
