Hi, I have a 2005 Ford Five Hundred while driving one day about a month ago I heard this noise when I press the brake pedal,I didn't think it to be nothing, but it felt like a stuggle to stop and the noise get worst it feels like the cables of the brake line are to tight and evertime I step on the brakes it makes a creeking sound, a few day ago I took the car in to have the noise check I found out that it was the brake booster and master cylinder and was told it was no need to have it fix because the noise would only come back and that the estimated cost to repair was around $1345. 99. I contact the Ford corp. , by e-mail and recieved a reponse and was told that there was no recall or warrant on this part in other words they could not help. I hope that you can help because I'm afraid of the safety for others and my family. Thank you.
: the contact stated while at a stop with the brake pedal depressed, the pedal went completely to the floor without warning. The failure does not affect the performance of the brakes and the vehicle continues to stop within a reasonable distance. The dealer has replaced the master cylinder, the abs sensor, and has bled the brakes four times in an attempt to remedy the problem. Although the problem is not as severe or as often, it still occurs intermittently.
