1 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 02/13/2021

Good day to whom it may concern, on February 13,2021 I had a major brake failure while parking my truck when the brake pedal went to the floor as I was backing up. The reason this is a concern is that I regularly have my vehicle serviced at only Ford dealerships. The two most recent times I had service was on January 21,2021 the works oil and filter change which incudes inspecting inspecting the brake system; and October 27,2020 the works oil and filter change which includes inspecting the brake system at which time I had rear brake work done by future Ford Lincoln of concord 2258 diamond blvd. Concord CA. 94520. The technician said it was to much pressure applied to my brakes while backing up and parking. I have not ever experienced this through over 40 years of driving and it is a very concerning issue that I would like to know if it can be investigated into please. Thank you.

2 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 07/14/2020

I was in my driveway sitting stationary in my vehicle buckling up to depart for the store. I put my foot on the brake pedal to push the start button. After starting I moved the shift lever to put the vehicle in gear and the vehicle started to roll and my brake pedal went to the floor. Because my driveway has a slight ramp to it the vehicle kept rolling forward, I kept hitting the brake pedal but the brake pedal kept going to the floor and the vehicle would not stop. As a result I rolled into a block fence across from my driveway knocking it down and damaging my vehicle. Vehicle was just rolling under its own momentum, no power to the drive train. No injuries, but fence was down and vehicle hood and other front end areas were damaged. I have no idea what caused the brakes to fail. Filed an insurance claim and had to have vehicle towed to dealer for body repairs and neighbors fence repaired.
