NHTSA Complaint #11444935 — 2015 FORD F-150

This issue is about high pressure (D.O.T. safety regulated) brake line going to the right caliper, this line ruptured for no reason. This ruptured high pressure line was noticed & replaced during the Master Safety Recall (20S31/NHTSA 20V-332) repair completed on 04-06-2021. The vehicle had 58,616 miles at the time of the high pressure brake line was replaced, the high pressure brake line is not a wear item such as Front Hub, Drums, Shoes, Linings, Disc Rotors, & Pads. These wear items are listed in my Premium Care Ford Motor Company extended warranty as not being covered, the high pressure brake line is not listed as an exclusion as a covered warranty part. I paid $2,765.00 for this extended warranty, the high pressure brake line has (banjo) fittings (important) on each end and the rubber hose, the rubber hose (flexible) part is comprised of multiple layers of rubber with metal braiding (important) for strength because the rubber can't withstand the pressure without the steel. The Premium Care Warranty under brakes states it covers metal brake lines and fittings. Elk Grove Ford, Ca. stated they receive a list of warrantied items from Ford Motor Company and reject warranties based on what Ford Motor Company says is not under warranty from the list. This is a safety issue because we lost our brakes on the way home from the grocery store and almost wrecked going through intersections putting others and my family in danger. Additional important information pertaining Elk Grove Ford, Ca. and Ford Motor Company Master Cylinder Safety Recall 20S31/NHTSA 20V-332, received 6/2020 had brake fade in 9/2020 called Elk Grove Ford and was told I would have to pay for this recall if the Master cylinder was not defective, this recall was for a known defect by Ford Motor Company. I received a second recall notice 3/2021 urging me to have the recall completed, my brakes completely failed at the end of 3/2021. I have additional supporting information about other warranty issues
