I had my vehicle taken to address its recall on the breaks. Within a few weeks time, my vehicle began creating excessive break dust on the front breaks and began making a grinding sound when backing up. I had my vehicle brought back into the dealership to have those items looked at and staff brushed this all off as being normal. However, the breaks never behaved this way before the "recall fix" and I'm concerned that all of these issues may point to a bigger issue. Did I buy a lemon or is this truly normal?

Makes a loud moaning sound when reversing after vehicle has sat for a few hours. Brake pads are fine, does not happen when braking while going forward. Only braking while going in reverse.

- Temple, TX, USA

Traveling with cruise control set at 78mph. Service engine light came on without warning and vehicle couldn-??t maintain speed. Exited highway to determine what was wrong. Pulled into gas station parking lot and the power brakes failed. The vehicle had two recalls for brakes serviced on 7/7/22. The vehicle is being towed to a dealership as the vehicle had less than 12,400 miles and has been owned less than one year. Any/all components available for inspection. If driver had not had wherewithal to exit highway when they did, there certainly could have been a fatality incident.

When coming to a stop and pressing on the breaks it periodically will make s sound and then there is about a 2O SEC DELAY before coming to complete stop. If I am driving downhill the delay is longer. This scares my since I drive over 100 miles a day for work. I have reached out to FORD and the manufacture and they still do not have a fix to the issue.

- Wailuku, HI, USA

I have a brake recall related to a safety defect. The car does not stop quick enough at highways speeds, however ford has not offered a remedy in a timely manner. I have been to 4 different Ford dealerships with no success. All four have informed me it would take a week to get the part, to later change the answer and say its unavailable on backorder. I can't get my brakes repaired. Additionally, the back door does not lock under any circumstances. The car is unsafe and unsecure from the inside and out.

I had two recalls which one of them was my breaks. I went about 3 months ago and they told me they didn't have the part and they would place the order and I would get a call as soon as it arrived. I waited and a new recall came in saying there was a leak in the engine oil and it could cause a fire on my car. I called Ford after I made an appointment online, when I spoke to the lady she said she had no idea and all she could do was made me an appointment. I decided to drive myself in person to this dealer Big Valley Ford and let them know what was happening since my app and my car both said I had I HAS 0% OIL LIFE and i needed oil changed ASAP. according to my sticker on the window from the previous oil changed it said I had over 1000 miles before oil change, yet my car and app were telling me i had 0% oil life. When i went to them specially after knowing there was a recall for oil leak they took my car and said they would inspected, they called me again and said there was nothing wrong with it and to ignored it, I never got a paper or anything with such information. I asked about the other recall and if my parts were finally in and the guy said there is no record or order for that. He sent me to speak to someone else and when I did they lied to me saying my car parts had been order. When I left a lady call me saying she needed pictures of my car to be able to order them and I told her someone had already said they were order that morning and she said no orders were never place. I drive back to them again and I live 20 minutes away, If i didn't show up in person again they would had never had made the order I had been waiting for over 3 months. As of today I do not longer feel safe with this car and I don't want it, yet I dont know what to do to solve this I need help please!!

Unknown. When backing up there is a howling sound while applying the brakes. The cause maybe the brake linings or rotors.
