| Service Brakes problems |
When I started my engine it backfired. From that point on I had to press extremely hard on the brake pedal just to slow down and eventually to stop. In an emergency situation it would without a doubt have resulted in an accident. The incident is exactly as indicated in the recall NHTSA campaign number: 08v208000 (Ford recall #08s05) for the same vehicle, except model year 2005 and 2006. When I contacted Ford I was told that the vehicle was manufactured in August of 2006, but that it was not covered under this recall.
The brake pedal is too close to the gas pedal. When I apply the brakes, I often also depress the gas pedal and end up accelerating when I meant to brake. Very dangerous.
