Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder Problems of Ford Expedition

Recently my wife was driving our grandchildren to school. She put here foot on the brake petal and it went to the floor. She got an alarm on her dash about low brake fluid and loss of brakes. She was able to get he car stopped. We had the vehicle towed to our Ford dealer. They replaced the master brake cylinder and the booster assembly. We now see that there is a recall for 2017 Ford Expedition for exactly this problem. The recall is NHTSA recall number 20v-332. The Ford dealer is telling us this recall is not for our car when we experienced this exact same problem as outlined in this recall.

While driving on a city street, my brake pedal lost resistance and went to the floor. I discovered that the brake fluid reservoir was empty. I was able to get the vehicle to a local dealership because the back brakes were functioning. I discovered that this was a common occurrence for the 2016 Ford f150 (that has been recalled because of the master brake cylinder) and was becoming a common occurrence the 2016 Ford Expedition. It seems that both model share the same part. The local Ford dealer diagnosed the problem and replaced the master brake cylinder and booster assemblies. The repair was delayed about a week because the "recalled" master brake cylinder model was ordered in error and the new model would take a few days to get in. I found that to be a strange comment when there is not information related to a recall for the 2016 Ford Expedition.

The brake system went out while driving my 2017 Ford Expedition. The warning light came on indicating low brake fluid. I called Ford about the issue to which they told the issue was not covered under the warranty. After some research there is a recall on the master brake cylinder and brake booster system on the f150 ecoboost. Nhtsa campaign number: 20v-332. Ford's reference number for this recall is 20s31. The my Expedition has they same issue . The f150 and Expedition are the same under the hood. The vehicle is safety hazard due to this issue.

Vehicle front driver side tire/rim/cylinder has a popping sound. It pops as if the caliber or brakes have something broke or dirt in it. I can hear this when driving slow and when in reverse backing up. Only hear sound when driving. Brought this to the attention of the dealership when I purchase the vehicle, took back to dealership twice and they could not find or fix this problem.
