Safety Recall 23S12/NHTSA Recall 23V162 - Brake Fluid Leak Took my car in for recall fix. Was told they could not perform the fix for the following reasons: 1) First said it was because I had aftermarket winter tires and rims on it. Told them that once I change to my all-season tires and original rims in 2 weeks can I bring it back, they told me no. 2) Then said it was because the car has 133k miles on it, so said it was too old to work on, and up to dealer discretion (Stoneham Ford, Stoneham, MA) 3) Then said the car has rust underneath so can't work on it. It was just a myriad of excuses as to why they couldn't perform. They said to try another dealer.

I am receiving warning lights regarding my electronic parking brakes. I took my car to a Ford dealership in Ankeny for a recall on my front brake lines to be fixed and mentioned this to the maintenance dept. They couldn't do anything without putting my car on a scanner (or whatever they do) because, being a widow I did not have the $100 they charge. Thus I am still driving my car with the warning lights on. I hope it is safe for me to drive it.

I went out to drive the car one morning and the brake pedal went to the floor. I had the car towed to my mechanic, and the brake lines had failed.

- Arlington, MA, USA

While driving, I stepped on the brake pedal to slow down as I turned into a parking lot. The pedal went to the floor and I had no brakes. I was able to pump the pedal and regain some pressure to park and come to a stop. I called my insurance company for roadside assistance and had the car towed to a nearby service station recommended by a friend. Once on the lift, the technician immediately found that the right front brake line had failed.

- Waterbury, CT, USA

I was driving to work and preparing to enter the highway when I received a flashing "low brake fluid" warning light and alarm. Within the first 5 miles of highway driving (before I could reach the next exit) I continually lost brake pedal and brake pressure. By the time that I was safely able to exit the highway my brake pedal needed to be depressed all the way to the floor for me to stop. Obviously this put the safety of myself and others in grave risk. I was lucky to be able to exit the freeway when I did. I found out from the dealer that there was a "Customer Satisfaction Program 22N02" notice issued in September 2022 that addressed my issue, as well as offered a repair. The dealer, however, is unable to perform the work for at least a month. My car has been sitting in a parking lot pending some way for me to get a repair. With the severity and grave risk of bodily harm associated with this issue it NEEDS TO BE A RECALL and not a "customer satisfaction program." I could have died or killed a pedestrian.

I had started my car one morning and noticed some "dummy" lights had not gone off. I then got a notice about "hill side assist not available" that was weird as I was on a flat surface. Then I also got a notification that said "service advancetrak". the warning lamps that stayed illuminated are ABS, front airbag, stability control, and stability control off lights. While I drove off, the steering was affected as well, it wasn't like I had no power steering, but it was definately more difficult to steer. I got to work, called the dealer, made an appointment for my car to be looked at. Which was thenext day. When I went back to my car after work, the warning lights and notifications did not appear. The next day, went to the car, going to work, all the lights appeared again. Car went to the shop and was told the speed sensor and hub need to be replaced. The total cost is $635 for repairs. I have seen lots of complaints of this sort for my year of car. I believe a recall should be issued.

When driving this vehicle and you go to make a stop with the vehicle at like 20 miles to 15 miles per hour the braking system go to breaks really hard or jerk. Make it hard for you to stop. And feel like you about to fly through the window. Making the traction control and hill assist light indicate, and the light will go back out on the vehicle as if not happened once the car is in motion. At 5 to 10 miles per hour. This will happen very often while driving.
