Consumer Description

THE BRAKING SYSTEM COMPLETELY FAILED WITH VIRTUALLY NO WARNING. I WAS TRAVELING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT APPEARED. THERE HAD BEEN NO MECHANICAL SIGNS OF ANY ISSUES. WHEN I EXITED THE INTERSTATE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WITHOUT HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME ON THE OFF RAMP. FORD HAS NOW RELEASED A RECALL ON THIS BUT PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE TO FIX IT YET. I'M NOT SURE IF OR WHAT THEY ARE GOING TO DO FOR MY VEHICLE BUT I WANTED TO FILE THE REPORT GIVEN THE EXTREME RISK THIS FAILURE POSES. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT END UP IN A COLLISION.
