Brake vaccum booster hose failure .

My vehicle stalled when trying to start. When it did start, I pressed the brakes and they were hard. I put my car in drive and tried to apply my brakes and the brakes didn't seem to work. I literally had to put 2 feet on the brakes and press down with all of my weight just to stop my truck. I brought it to the dealership and they said it was my vacuum line on my brakes that came off. It is going to cost me $375. Thankfully I wasn't driving fast when my brakes gave out.

Normal braking capability was suddenly and completely lost without warning when vacuum assist hose separated from fitting on the intake manifold. Vacuum hose separated apparently due to some slight back-pressure that occurred when engine was started. Original design did not include a clamp on the hose. Correction of the problem required removal of the intake manifold to gain access to the vacuum fitting; the hose was replaced and clamped. Mileage was 76,442 and extended warranty did not cover and it cost me $782. It is very disconcerting to learn that normal braking capability can be completely lost in this way without any warning whatsoever. I believe the Ford motor company must be held fully responsible to correct what is clearly a design deficiency that has high potential to cause a serious accident resulting in personal injury or even death. I also feel that the Ford motor company should reimburse me for cost of repair since the dealership told me that it knew of the problem and was informed to modify the vacuum hose assembly because they knew that the original composition was wrong.

Brakes worked fine upon arriving at store. Upon leaving parking lot as I approached street, I applied brakes to learn that the vehicle had no brakes. I pressed the brakes very hard and was able to slowly stop. I was probably traveling at less than 5-10 mph leaving parking. I checked brake fluid and any engine codes, all were normal. I proceeded to the house carefully allowing for maximum distance. By pressing very hard on brake pedal, I was able gradually come to a stop. On Monday, 11/19/2007, I took the vehicle to the local Ford dealership. The vehicle this morning had a check engine light visible. The trouble was quickly diagnose by service mechanic as a broken vacuum line behind the engine. The small country dealership related that they replaced the same line on a similar vehicle the week before. The dealership was in southeast georgia and the nearest part was in memphis, TN and would take 2 days to arrive. Plus, the manifold and other parts had to be removed to get to line. It took some 6 hours of labor to replace. The parts and labor was $767. 80 and the rental car was $112. 19. The service on the vehicle was completed in the afternoon of 11/21/2007. The mileage on the truck was 43996 miles when taken in for service.

The contact owns a 2006 Ford F-150. When the contact attempted to start the vehicle, the engine backfired. The vehicle finally started, and when the contact attempted to back up the vehicle, he realized that the power brakes failed. He struck a vehicle parked behind him. The brakes were extremely heavy and there was no power assist. Four days later, he took the vehicle to the dealer and the technician informed him that the vacuum hose was loose, which caused the power assist failure. The vehicle was repaired at the owner's expense. The contact filed a consumer review request with the dealer to apply for an extended warranty, but his request was denied. After further research, the contact realized that his failures were identical to NHTSA campaign id number 08v208000 (service brakes, hydraulic:power assist:vacuum:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings); however, the manufacturer stated that the VIN was not included in the recall. The failure mileage was 70,000 and current mileage was 90,000.

As I approached a stop sign brakes failed to brake properly. The brakes were tight and no amount of pressure would stop the truck. I put it in n and it eventually rolled to a stop with the help of gravity and the incline leading up to the intersection. I had my 2005, f150 towed to the nearest Ford dealership. The faulty hose was replaced with a 'reinforced one. Which leaves me to believe Ford has had trouble with this part prior to this incident. Why else would they replace the faulty part with this new, so-called reinforced one. The old part is not available because I was told the dealership had to send it to Ford motor CO. I wonder how many accidents, collisions, near misses, and deaths occurred because of brake failures that went unreported. Had this failure occurred in March, just north of tailgate , all on route 77, when the tractor trailer truck pulled in front of me, I 'm sure the accident would have become another statistic reported as an unfortunate fatality caused by a careless truck driver. No one would have thought to investigate the brakes on my truck.
