Consumer Description

IN EARLY 2002 I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FEELING SOFT AND PRACTICALLY WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH NORMAL BRAKING AND THE PEDAL MADE A HISSING/VACUUM NOISE AT TIMES. FOR HARD BRAKING IT FELT LIKE THE SUV WOULDN'T STOP. I TOOK THE CAR FOR SERVICE ON 6/8/02 AT A FORD DEALERSHIP WHICH BLED THE BRAKE SYSTEM. THIS DID NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM. TOOK THE SUV BACK ON 11/9/02 AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A VACUUM LEAK FROM THE POWER BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. PEDAL AND BRAKING WAS NORMAL AFTER THIS UNTIL RECENTLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL IS FAILING AGAIN AS BEFORE. I HAVE NOT YET TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER. *LA
