NHTSA complaint: 2006 FORD F-150 — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
ON 15 JUNE 2006, MY WIFE WAS INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT WHILE OPERATING A 2006 FORD F150. A VEHICLE STOPPED IN FRONT OF HER SHE PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT RESPONDED TO HER BRAKING ACTION. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE SCENE OF THE ACCIDENT, I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WOODY ANDERSEN FORD IN HUNTSVILLE, ALABAMA AND THE SERVICE MANAGER VERIFIED THAT THE BRAKES INDEED WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE WAITED A WEEK FOR A FORD ENGINEER TO VERIFY THE PROBLEMS AND HE STATED THAT WHEN HE DROVE THE VEHICLE IT WAS OKAY AT THAT TIME. THESE BRAKES FAILED MY WIFE AT 5 MILES AN HOUR AND CAUSED HER TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT. NO ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE. *NM
