2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

I WAS DRIVING ON A 25MPH STREET AND WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN, I BEGAN TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND HEARD A SMALL EXPLOSION/BOOM UNDER THE HOOD. I CONTINUED DRIVING AS THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. THE NEXT STOP SIGN I HAD VERY LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY, THE THIRD STOP SIGN I HAD NO ABILITY TO STOP AND WAS FORCED TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE. WITHIN HALF A MILE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT ALL AND HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS OR WARNINGS ON THE DASH UNTIL AFTER THE TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING, THE ONLY WARNING I HAD THERE WAS AN ISSUE WAS THE LOUD NOISE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 F150 BRAKES FOR DECREASED STOPPING ABILITY, BUT NOT FOR A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES TO NOT BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE UNTIL THERE IS AN INDICATOR LIGHT OR MESSAGE ON THE DASH - AGAIN, I HAD NEITHER OF THESE WARNINGS. ONCE THE VEHICLE GOT TO THE LOCAL DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER BOTH FAILED. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AND HAS INDICATED IT WILL BE SEVERAL WEEKS IF NOT MORE FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE PARTS. I BELIEVE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED AND TREATED AS MORE URGENT AS THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD LEAD TO FATAL ACCIDENTS - FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND NOT IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED, OTHERWISE THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD HAS MADE THE DEALER TAKE APART THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE AREA AROUND THE DEFECTIVE PARTS - I FEEL THEY ARE USING THIS AS A CASE STUDY AND ARE NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THEIR FAILED PARTS THAT COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT.
