THE BRAKES ON THIS CAR GO ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR BEFORE THEY ENGAGE. I HAVE BLED THE BRAKES, REPLACED PADS AND ROTORS AND NONE OF THESE ACTIONS RESULTED IN IMPROVED PERFORMANCE. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS POSTS THAT THE ABS PUMP IS DEFECTIVE. I AM TROUBLED BY THIS AS MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND I DO NOT FEEL IT IS SAFE. THIS ISSUE OCCURS AT ANY SPEED IN ANY CONDITION I.E. DRY, WET, TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT. THIS ALSO RESULTS IN LONGER BRAKING DISTANCES AS THE ENGAGEMENT IS NOT NORMAL. I HAVE CALLED FORD AND THEY HAVE TAKEN NO ACTION WHATSOEVER.

DRIVING AND TURNING TO PULL ONTO MY STREET 'SERVICE POWER STEERING NOW' ALERT APPEARED ON DISPLAY. AND 'TRACTION' LIGHT ACTIVATED AND I LOST POWER STEERING THANKFULLY IT HAPPENED AS I WAS ARRIVING HOME. NEXT DAY (TODAY) STILL POWER STEERING NOTIFICATION AND NO POWER STEERING WHEN DRIVING.

TACATA RECALL. TODAY I CALLED THE ANACORTES FORD DEALERSHIP IN WA STATE AND SPOKE WITH JOSH IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I TOLD HIM I HAD A LETTER FROM FORD ABOUT A RECALL. HE SAID THAT FORD IS OUT OF THE PARTS AND THEY AREN'T ABLE TO ORDER ANY. I ASKED HOW LONG TILL THEY CAN ORDER MORE AND HE SAID MAYBE A MONTH. SO I ASKED WHAT MY OPTIONS WERE, IF I NEEDED TO CALL BACK EVERY MONTH. HE SAID THE BEST HE COULD DO WAS ADD ME TO HIS LIST AND KEEP AN EYE ON IT. I EXPLAINED THAT MY HUSBAND HAD CALLED A FEW MONTHS BACK AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO SAID THEY WERE ORDERING THE PART AND WOULD BE CALLING HIM BACK IN A FEW WEEKS. HE SAID THERE WAS NOTHING ON RECORD OF THAT. I AM EXTREMELY UNSATISFIED WITH THE HANDLING OF THE SITUATION. IT'S BEEN OVER A YEAR SINCE I FIRST STARTED GETTING LETTERS ABOUT THIS RECALL. THE MOST RECENT LETTER I RECEIVED FROM FORD MOTOR COMPANY DATED FEBRUARY 2019, STATES THAT, 'PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR YOUR VEHICLE HOWEVER, YOUR DEALER WILL NEED TO ORDER PARTS FOR YOUR VEHICLE PRIOR TO YOUR APPOINTMENT.' THIS IS NOT CONGRUENT WITH WHAT JOSH SAID. HE SAID THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO ORDER ANY MORE AT THIS TIME.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER STARTING CAR, POWER STEERING ASSIST FAULT MESSAGE APPEARED ON DASH. COULD NOT TURN THE WHEELS IN EITHER DIRECTION WHILE PARKED. TURNED OFF CAR, WAITED APPROX 30 SECONDS, AND RESTARTED. POWER STEERING WAS FUNCTIONAL WITH NO ERROR AFTER RESTART. DROVE TO NEXT DESTINATION, WAS PARKED FOR APPROX 30 MINUTES, AND THE SAME SCENARIO WAS REPEATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE FROM THERE.
