Consumer Description

DRIVING @ 70MPH, GET READY TO MAKE A TURN BY SLOWING DOWN. PUSH ON THE BRAKE TO STOP AND THERE IS NO POWER ASSIST. OVERSHOOT CORNER AND FINALLY STOP APPROXIMATELY 100 FEET PAST WHERE I NEEDED TO TURN. DRIVING ON RURAL ROADS IS THE ONLY REASON I WAS NOT IN AN ACCIDENT. I STILL HAD 20 MILES TO GO TO GET HOME. HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD DEALER. THEY SAY THE VACUUM PUMP HAS FAILED. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR INDICATION OF THIS FAILURE.
