Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING, THE BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON. MESSAGE ALSO SHOWED ON DASH SAYING, "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM, REGEN BRAKES DISABLED. TOOK IT TO A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THE HYDRAULIC CONTROL UNIT MUST BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $5,600. DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWED THAT HUNDREDS OF CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD OR ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM. BUT AS THE DEALERSHIP STATED, SORRY THERE'S NO RECALL. MY VEHICLE IS RENDERED USELESS AND FORD REFUSES TO STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT EVEN THOUGH MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE HAD THIS COSTLY SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES.
