Brakes not engaging when the vehicle was going at a very low rate of speed (under 15mph). Could only stop with pedal to the floor and utilizing the emergency brake. Took it to the shop and it's the vacuum pump, no big deal except the part is on a 2 month back order because it seems everyone's has gone bad but no recall. My mechanic is baffled!!

At around 40k miles i started to notice pulsating when i apply the brakes. More pulsating the harder brakes are applied. At slower speed, near stopping i can hear clicking souind as well in the brakes. At 45k miles the rear brakes and "warped" rotors were replaced by the dealer. The front brakes have sufficient thickness so they did not require replacement. But the front brakes continue the problem of pulsating /…

Brake vacuum pump locked up while driving causing loss of brakes. I was going 70 on interstate at the time had to use both feet to get the car to slow down. Lucky there was no traffic on the exit because i was unable to stop running the stop light.

My ford had 3200 miles on the car and both back brake rotors had to be machined. I wanted new rotor and brakes on the car but hoffman ford refused to put new rotors and brakes on the vehicle. I think the rotors are soft material and not harded enough from the factory. Remember it only had 3200 miles and this should be on a recall list for possible safety violation and extra costs to the customer. Soft rotors from…

My ford has only 3200 miles purchased 01/28/2015. The dealer set the back brake rotors needed to machined down. I did not agree and demanded new rotors be installed due to my bumper to bumper warranty 3 years or 36,000 miles. The ford dealer refused said this is not ford's policy. Dealer said maybe i do not drive it enough. I said than why aren't the front rotors the same way. This ford dealer was hoffman ford in…

After only 22,000 miles, i had to pay for new pads and rotors on the rear brakes. The dealer repaired the brakes but refused to cover the cost under a warranty claim. The service ticket blamed the failure on a "found left rear inside pad metal to metal, found slide rusted up"!

The vehicle brakes had been making a grinding noise, specifically while backing up. After a trip to the dealer they stated there were no issues. A few month later (at night) the vehicles brakes became grabby, grinding, and squealing, causing the abs system to activate thinking the vehicle tires were locked up and sliding. The vehicle then slid off the road. I inspected the brakes the following morning and found that…

A warning message came on saying that the brake fluid was low, and that i needed to take the car to a dealer. I drove home, a short distance, and decided to check the fluid myself. When i opened the hood i found the brake fluid reservoir sitting on top of the engine tipped down so that fluid was not available to the brake lines. There was some fluid left but most had been lost. The warning came on within a few 100…

Car is for my wife's usage mainly. I drove the car a few days later and noticed that the brake pedal is: too high, (too close to driver's reach (foot), to small ant too close to the accelerator pedal. When you shift your right foot from acceleration to braking, i touch the side of the brake rubber pad many times and need to make sure i am fully on the brake pad. The previous car was a 2012 ford escape. No problems…
