Consumer Description

THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE IN LAST SUMMER. MY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH PAD BROKE INTO PIECES WHILE I WAS TRYING TO MERGE INTO A CITY HIGHWAY FROM A FREEWAY. SUDDENLY I COULD ONLY ACCELERATE FOR 2 SECONDS WHENEVER I STEP ON GAS, AND I ALSO NOTICED MY BRAKE LIGHT NEVER STOPS EVEN AFTER I TURNED MY CAR OFF. I ALMOST GOT INTO AN ACCIDENT AND GOT KILLED. THIS PROBLEM IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM AMONG NEW MUSTANG MODELS AFTER 2015. FORD IS NOT DOING ANYTHING, AND THEY WOULD CHARGE YOU $200 FOR THE WHOLE BRAKE ASSEMBLY WHILE I ONLY NEEDED A 50 CENTS PLASTIC PAD. MY DAD IS A CAR MECHANIC, AND HE WAS SURPRISED THAT A CAR IN 2015 WOULD HAVE A SUCH COMMON PROBLEM IN 90S.
