Several factors:9 months after purchasing new, accelerator stuck and was not part of the floor mat recall, dealer brushed me off. In oct/Nov 2015 braking system failed, mastercylinder had a crack in it and fluid was empty, this was at 62,000 miles. Yesterday brakes failed again, shoes/pads worn out, hub/rotor dented, bearings replaced, and was told not to drive until repaired, 64,000 miles currently on car. Also, the interior controls on the dash are starting to come loose from dash. I worry about my safety every time a drive this car. The outside looks great. I am the original one -owner. Very upset to be spending so much on a low mileage car. I have all my receipts for work performed. Informed corp. Ford yesterday and got a I'm sorry from dorothy. Vehicle was in motion on city streets each time of occurence.
When trying to stop the vehicle and pedal went to the floor. Have had the master brake cylinder, brake pads and brake booster replaced. Car still has a soft brake pedal that goes to the floor upon initial stop. Brakes will pump up after a couple pushes on the pedal. May not have that luxury in an emergency situation.
05/16/12 I was driving at 30 miles/per hour, the brake pedal suddenly went to the floor without any signs in advance, I couldn't stop the car. Luckily it was where I worked. I pulled to the parking,stopped it with the help of the curb. Checked on the spot, it seems low on brake fluid, we added fluid, pedal seemed fine for couple of months. On 07/31/12, two months after the first incident, driving at the speed of 50, the same thing happened again. Couldn't stop the car, the brake pedal went to the floor. Luckily there is a garage by the side, pulled in and checked. Finding out the mass cylinder disfunction. Spend over 600 got it changed. Now I am scared, don't know what to do? sell the car? ( which I cant afford now) or waiting to be killed in the car or kill somebody else?.
