The contact owns a 2005 Ford F-150. While driving out of a parking space between 5-10 mph, the brakes failed to work. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop and the mechanic stated that the booster line failed, which caused the brake failure. The contact paid for the vehicle to be repaired. Shortly after, he discovered that the vehicle was recalled according to NHTSA campaign id number 08V208000 (service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:vacuum:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). He went to the Ford dealer and they wanted to replace the same hose that was previously on the vehicle in an attempt to repair the failure. The contact refused to place the same defective hose in the vehicle. He believes that the recalled item should be replaced by a working item. The current and failure mileages were 19,000.

The contact owns a 2005 Ford F150. The contact noticed that his brake pedal was soft and spongy, making it difficult to brake. The brake pedal would extend to the floor when it was depressed. The dealer and manufacturer stated that the vehicle was supposed to function in that manner. The dealer worked on the vehicle several times, but failed to correct the failure. A Ford representative drove the vehicle, acknowledged the failure, and ordered parts for the repair. However, the failure still persists. The current mileage was approximately 25,000 and failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

May 2, 2006 the accident happened December 19, 2005: Cause: Break failure. We were stop at a red light and I was holding pressure on the break pedal and it collapsed to the floor and rolling in to the car in front of us. At that time there was only 2000 miles on the pick-up. I wasn't sure what happened until we were at another stop light and it happened again, but this time I pumped the break pedal till I had pressure. We returned home in March and I went to the dealer whom we purchased it from (valu Ford at elbow lake, Minnesota) and told them of the problem. He tried it and said he could not find a problem. I got into the pick-up and showed him how the master cylinder collapses when pressure is held on it. He tried another pick-up same year and said that"?S the way its supposed to be??" I went to another Ford dealer in alexandria (juettner motors) and told him what happened and what I wanted done and they told me my insurance company should take care of the problem and didn't even check the breaks. I have taken the pick-up to 5 different independent garages and they have all said the master cylinder should not collapse when pressure is held on the pedal. I went back to the dealer and ask if they could have a company tech explain to me why the master cylinder collapses when pressure is held on the pedal. I have heard nothing from them. I feel very strongly that Ford has a problem with their master cylinder and should be fixed. I complained to Ford again and ask them to have some one explain to me why the breaks should collapse when pressure is held on them. They sent out a independent source and he had the pick-up for about three hours and sent a report back to Ford saying that the electric breaks for the camper were the probable cause?? there is no hydraulics involved with the electric breaks.
