NOTHING BAD HAS HAPPENED, YET. A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, WE NOTICED THAT THE BRAKES BECAME MUCH SOFTER. IT BECAME NECESSARY TO PUSH FURTHER DOWN ON THE PEDAL TO ENGAGE THEM. WE TOOK THE CARE TO A SHOP IN MARCH OF 2016. THE MECHANICS CHECKED THE WHOLE SYSTEM, AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER, SO HE PUT A NEW ONE IT. HE CALLED US TO TELL US, THAT WASN'T THE ISSUE, SO HE REMOVED IT, AND DID NOT CHARGE US. I DID SOME ON LINE SEARCHES, WHICH I'VE CONTINUED, AND SAW THAT THERE WERE SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THAT NHTSA WAS LOOKING AT, AND HEIR MIGHT BE A RECALL. I'VE CONTINUED TO CHECK EVERY FEW MONTHS, OR SO , FOR THE PAST 2 YEARS, BUT STILL NO WORD OF A RECAP. I CHECKED ON MUFFED.COM TODAY, AND FORD STILL HAS NOT RECALLED THE PROBLEM. THE ONLY RECALL APPEARING FOR THAT CAR IS THE CURRENT AIR BAG ISSUE (16S26). MY WIFE TELLS ME THAT NOW SHE'S USED TO IT AND THAT IF IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE, FORD WOULD RECALL IT. I WON'T DRIVE THE CAR. I THINK IT'S A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I DOUBT THIS WILL ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING, OR THAT I'LL GET A RESPONSE, BUT I'D LIKE TO KNOW THE STATUS ON THIS SITUATION, AND WANT TO GO ON RECORD AS REPORTING IT. MAYBE FORD WILL TAKE CARE OF IT EVENTUALLY IF ENOUGH PEOPLE COMPLAIN.
