We have a 2012 Ford Focus sfe, the high economy model. This car exhibits the same symptoms described in the �soft brake pedal recall� issued recently. The brake pedal can be applied directly to the floor, not reliably stopping the car. Sometime it can be pumped up, sometimes not. In October the master cylinder was replaced at a cost of $445. 36 to no avail. Then the abs-anti skid controller box was replaced, again to no avail. Then the rear calipers were replaced. Once more no cure. The dealer then applied the entire recall fix. So far it has cost an additional $1200+. This issue has dragged on for three months with no end in sight. Most of the time the car has been at the dealer. My wife and I both afraid to drive or be a passenger in this car. It's far too dangerous. Step on the brakes and sometimes they work well, sometimes they work with your foot pressed to the floor slowing the car but not reliably stopping it. Frankly, the dealer has tried to solve the problem with continuous messages to Ford corporate with no satisfactory response. At the same time Ford corporate was identifying the issue and preparing a recall. What would you do? .
I have owned my 2016 Ford f-150 super crew lariat for almost 3 years. I purchased it brand new from a dealer in palm beach county florida. I am on top of my routine maintenance and have just had my truck serviced 3 weeks ago. On 7/20/19 my truck's brakes completely failed while driving from my house on a residential road. I had to use my emergency brake to stop my vehicle from going through a stop sign. Thankfully, I was not involved in an accident. My master cylinder had lost all its fluid but there were no signs of leaks. I added brake fluid and I could see it leaving the reservoir. It appears to be leaking into the brake booster. I had to have my truck towed to the dealership and I'm waiting to hear back from the service department.
