Car is currently parked as we do not know how to proceed safely. This problem occurs when the vehicle is moving at any speed or direction.

First the master cylinder went, then the brake booster and now the hydrolic control unit. Eachpart more expensive thenthe last and the last being 2119. 20 to repair. The entire braking system, parts I was told should not break. I have been told, by a reputable mechanic that often when replacing the brake booster, the lines are improperly bled andair gets into the hydraulic system. Upon farther research on line into the issue, there are page after page of the same complaint.

My vehicle has 98000 miles on it and Ford has stated it needs a abs control unit that's a cost of $2000. 00. My brakes are awful. I paid for a brake booster & master cylinder I didn't need. My latch went and that cost a lot of money left front door now my back up camera doesn't work. What's next???.

I was told that my brake pads only needed to be replaced and that they had done it, when I picked up my vehicle, the brakes were extremely hard and I could not stop my vehicle, I took my car back and they stated my master cylinder was bad, they noted it on my invoice, but did not discuss it with me and gave me my vehicle without notifying. When I took my car back for repair, they cracked my windshield and vomited in my vehicle.

My vehicle's brakes went all the way to the floorboard before coming to a stop. The pressure in the brakes would leave immediately so I took it to my mechanic and they replaced the master cylinder. Two months later, the same thing happened again where all the pressure of the brakes are gone and the brakes barely stop the car so I took it again to the mechanic and they replaced the master cylinder and still the brake pressure won't hold so they said it might have to do with the abs system. They were surprised that there is no recall on the brake system because it seems like so many other people are dealing with the faulty system that keeps breaking the master cylinder. The abs system is very expensive to fix too. I don't feel safe in my car anymore, the brakes can give out anytime while I'm driving and Ford could care less.

This is an update on a previous complaint, #11339451. An independent auto repair shop in el paso, TX replaced the master cylinder which did not correct the problem. They reinstalled the original master cylinder and both manually bled the lines and then used a computer assisted brake bleeder which correct the problem. Their total charge was $100. 00 compared to the estimate from a Ford dealer which was $2,176. 12. The estimate from the Ford dealer was to remove and replace the master cylinder and the abs hsu module. Neither part was needed, just bleeding the lines.

The problem started with an occasionally stiff brake pedal. This was in February 2015 with 59,554 miles on the car. The Ford dealership replaced the brake booster under customer satisfaction program 13n02. Then in may 2016 with 74,029 miles on the car the problem returned even worse. This time the pedal would not only be stiff at start up but would also become stiff while driving and was accompanied by a high pitched ringing noise. The dealership replaced the brake booster again but this time the cost was placed on me. Now here we are in July 2020 with approximately 110,000 miles on the vehicle the stiff pedal problem has been coming up again and has progressed to the brake pedal going to the floor while driving with greatly reduced braking power. The Ford dealership again says that the brake booster is part of the problem, along with the master cylinder. The dealer & Ford motor CO. Both state that the cost of replacing their faulty parts is my responsibility. Ford obviously has not fixed the problem with their brake boosters.

Brakes are so hard, the car does not brake easily. It makes a sound like a wind is blowing. I took it to the Ford dealer and they said the problem probably is the brake booster. But after they do an inspection they find out the problem is the master cylinder and hcu. So they said the cost is around $1,300 this is to expensive this must be a recall. . I saw many cases with this same problem. . Also Ford charge $149 for inspection. .

Power brakes will randomly fail, without any warning. Safety of driver and passengers, as well as other motorists are in danger with this problem. Master cylinder and brake booster are operating correctly. Abs pump motor is the problem. A valve is sticking inside it, causing brake fluid to bypass the brake calipers line and just go open loop in the abs circuit. Google and youtube is full of the exact same problem. Factory part(s) did not even last 10years or 150,000 miles. Completely unacceptable for the most important system on a vehicle. No lights are on, basic scan tool finds no codes. Advanced scan tool finds a abs soft code:coo20:13-28. Ford wants over $3000 to fix with the exact same part that will fail again without notice. I am a small mechanic, and cannot do this repair because you have to have Ford's special software.
