MY WIFE HAD A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE (PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS) AS A RESULT OF WHICH SHE WENT THROUGH A RED LIGHT. SHE ROLLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE SHE SHUT EVERYTHING OFF. WHEN SHE RESTARTED THE BRAKES WORKED FINE. FORD DELER SAYS A $1454 NEW HCU UNIT MAY FIX THE PROBLEM. NO OTHER DIAGNOSIS EVEN THOUGH BRAKE SYSTEM WAS THOROUGHLY EXAMINED.

TAKATA RECALL . WE WERE NOTIFIED YEARS AGO, STILL PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG NOT REPLACED. NOW FORD IS TELLING US NOT LET ANYONE SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. FORD HAD IGNORED ALL OUR CORRESPONDENCE. IT'S REDICULOUS, WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER FORD PRODUCT.
