2012 FORD F-150 Complaints

I have a 2012 f150 platinum eco boost When starting vehicle in morning I would here a strange noise coming from the front driver side, now I leave out of driveway after starting and when I apply brakes the truck will not stop like there is no brake pressure and feels like anti locks are on, I have to sit for a couple minutes and then they work but they only appear to work manually I have to push brake pedal hard, I tried diagnosing like the forum says I put my foot on brake and start vehicle, the brake pedal stays hard and does not move, they say if this happens it is the brake vacuum pump. There is a recall 15N05 on my year vehicle but Ford says my vehicle isn’t covered it’s under the mileage and the correct year, I have to buy the pump myself, why isn’t Ford honoring the recall I just ordered part and if needed will upload the invoice later

Transmission lead frame failure multiple times. Milage past the 180k so dealership would not repair defective part under previous 6SR80 recall. Paid out of pocket for known defective Ford part.

WHEN VEHICLE STARTS HAS WRENCH LIGHT ON, TRACADVANCE LIGHT ON, AND AIRBAG LIGHT ON. TRUCK WANTS TO CALL 911 ABOUT 1 MINUTE AFTER STARTED. AUTO SHOP DIAGNOSTIC HAS AIR BAG MODULE IS NOT RESPONDING. MY FAMILY AND I HAVE BEEN BUYING FORDS FOR YEARS AND FORD HAS TREATED US VERY WELL. I BOUGHT MY FIRST BRAND NEW CAR FOR MY WIFE IN 2016 AND WAS A FORD EXPLORER. DESPITE OF THE ISSUES THAT THAT VEHICLE HAS HAD FORD HAS ALWAYS DONE THE RIGHT THING AND HAS TAKEN CARE OF THEM. MY GRANDFATHER OWNED A FORD DEALERSHIP WHEN I WAS A CHILD AND GREW UP RIDING IN FORD VEHICLES. THIS AIRBAG MODULE THAT WENT BAD IS NOT A PART THAT CAR WEAR OUT. FROM MY RESEARCH OTHER 2012 F150'S LIKE MINE HAS THE SAME ISSUE AND SOME HAVE A RECALL ON THEM FOR THIS. IT IS A VERY EXPENSIVE PART THAT I THINK IS FAULTY BY MANUFACTURE. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AROUND IN THE TRUCK WITH MY KIDS WITH THIS MODULE BAD AND AM NOT SURE IF IT IS SAFE OR NOT. PLEASE ADVISE HOW TO PROCEED. THANKS
