There is a pressure switch on my master cylinder of the braking system. There is o listed recall for my pickup truck how ever after about $900. 00 and 2 different auto shops I found this switch to be the defective part and when I went to the dealer jim click of tuscon az and the parts guy gave me the part I requested I questioned the wiring harness adaptor and why the switch was not the same as I brought him. He stated well there was a lot of failures with the old design and it was a recall I stated well shouldn't the part be free no response - - the defect in the part was an air leak causing me to chase it for a year on and off constantly bleeding little air bubbles out with over a gallon of fluid. I noticed it with just the ever so slight of dirt sticking to the leak on the under side of switch which could not be seen. This leak resulted in a constantly soft pedal with a about a 1-2 second braking delay. I checked to Ford site and the only existing recall is a speed sensor. Not for this part.
When applying the brakes in a panic stop, consumer's foot hit the brake pedal and accelerator pedal because the brake pedal and accelerator pedal are too close together, causing the vehicle not to stop, once resulting in a collision.
