SERVICE BRAKES, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I DROVE MY TRUCK TO MY FARM WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A WHILE, MY SON-IN-LAW GOT IN TO DRIVE TO A WORK AREA AND IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH I HAD RECENTLY HAD THE LEVEL CHECKED AS "FULL" AT A CHANGE OF OIL AND FILTER. IT TOOK TWO LARGE BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID (AT OVER $8.00 EACH, JUST TO GET IT HOME (ABOUT 50 MILES). I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES DURING THIS TRIP TO GET BRAKING ACTION AND DRIVE VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY. THE DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I HAD TOWED A SINGLE AXLE TRAILER WITH AN AGRICULTURAL DISC ON IT. HAD THIS QUICK LOSS OF BRAKES OCCURRED AT THAT TIME, IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND EVEN DEATH. THE SHOP WHERE I TOOK IT REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, THE POWER BOOSTER, WHICH HAD FILLED WITH FLUID, AND AN O2 SENSOR, WHICH HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THE TOTAL COST WAS $1194.34. SINCE ALL THE PARTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW FORD BRAND PARTS, THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND MERITS A RECALL, AS WELL AS REIMBURSEMENT TO ME OF MY EXPENSES.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
IN ABOUT JANUARY OF 2017, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, MY TRUCK STARTED EXPERIENCING IRREGULAR FUNCTION OF THE SYNC III SYSTEM. IN ABOUT MARCH OF 2017 THE SYSTEM STOPPED FUNCTIONING PROPERLY AT ANY TIME. AT THAT TIME IT HAD ABOUT 37,000 MILES ON IT. BY THE TIME I COULD GET IT TO THE FORD DEALER IT HAD ABOUT 39,000 MILES. FORD DENIED ANY OBLIGATION TO REPAIR. SOME OF THE MAJOR REASONS I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WERE TO ABILITIES OF THE SYNC III SYSTEM SUCH AS: (1) THE GPS MAP SYSTEM AND THE ABILITY TO INPUT DESTINATIONS AND RECEIVE DRIVING INSTRUCTIONS, (2) THE HANDS FREE BLUE TOOTH TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS, (3) THE BACKUP CAMERA, AND THE TOUCH SCREEN MENU. ALL OF THESE WERE IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURES. NONE OF THEM WORK AND FORD WANTED $1,500.00 TO REPLACE THE "APIM" MODULE, WHICH PURPORTEDLY WOULD MAKE IT WORK AGAIN. IN ADDITION, WHILE BACKING IN TO A PARKING PLACE, IN ABOUT NOVEMBER OF 2017, I COULD NOT SEE A POLE SET IN CONCRETE BECAUSE OF MALFUNCTION OF THE CAMERA, AND BACKED INTO IT, DAMAGING MY BUMPER TO THE TUNE OF ABOUT $1,200.00 REPLACEMENT COST. WORSE YET, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A CHILD OR OTHER PERSON. OCCASIONALLY THE BACKUP CAMERA WORKS, BUT STAYS ON WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET.

I AM EMAILING YOU TO BOTH ALERT YOU OF A SITUATION AND ASK THAT YOU REACH OUT TO MY FATHER REGARDING WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM THIS MORNING. HE OWNS A 2016 OR 2017 F-150 WITH THE 3.5 ECO-BOOST. THIS MORNING AS HE WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 50 ' 60 MPH SOUTH ON HWY 111 IN COMING INTO LIVINGSTON TN. HE LET OF THE GAS PREPARING TO VEER RIGHT ON THE 111 BYPASS, HIS BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES HIS FOOT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE WAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO THERE FOR HIM TO STOP THE TRUCK. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 AM AND THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD AND IT WAS IN A PLACE THAT HE HAD ROOM AND TIME TO SHIFT DOWN AND DECREASE HIS SPEED AND PULL OVER. ONE MILE FURTHER AND THIS COULD HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFERENT ENDING. HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO PICK UP A BOAT.. SO THIS WAS THREE HOURS LATER THIS COULD HAVE HAD AN EXTREMELY DIFFERENT ENDING. DID I MENTION HE 81 YEARS OLD. THERE WAS LITTLE TO NO WARNING, THE LIGHT CAME ON JUST AS HE WAS GETTING READY TO MAKE HIS TURN. THIS COULD HAVE TURNED OUT VERY BAD.

SERVICE ADVISOR REFUSED TO LOOK AT THE VIDEO.
