BOOK APPOINTMENT WITH FORD AND DROVE CAR IN. THEY SAY CAR WAS INSPECTED IN 2016, CHARGE $135 FOR INSPECTION THEN ASK FOR APPROX $1000 TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP. I DECLINE AND SEEK ANOTHER SHOP. DRIVE CAR HOME AND THE WORST IS MUCH WORST. HAVE CAR TOWED TO NEW SHOP. NEW SHOP SAYS FUEL PUMP IS FINE, BUT THE TANK HAS A LEAK ON TOP (WHICH IS WHAT THE 2016 RECALL WAS TO AVOID). NOW I AM LOOKING AT APPROX $900 TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. IT WOULD SEEM THAT FORD SHOULD COVER THIS UNDER THE RECALL OR AT LEAST COVER THE $400+ COST OF THE TANK AT A MIN. THIS IS CLEARLY A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND POTENTIAL FIRE THAT COULD HAVE EASILY GONE UNNOTICED IF I HAD NOT PARKED INSIDE THAT NIGHT (CAR USUALLY STAYS OUTSIDE).

AFTER A BRAKING EVENT IN WHICH THE ABS SYSTEM IS ACTIVATED, THE PEDAL BECOMES SOFT/SPONGEY AND SINKS TO THE FLOOR MORE THAN IT USUALLY WOULD. THE CAR CAN STILL STOP, BUT IT REQUIRES A MUCH LARGER APPLICATION OF THE BRAKE PEDAL (75% PUSHED IN VS 30% FOR EXAMPLE). THIS HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST TWO TIMES IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. ONE EVENT OCCURRED WHEN THE ABS ACTIVATED DUE TO ICE ON THE ROAD, THE SECOND EVENT OCCURRED DUE TO BRAKING WHILE HYDROPLANING (ABS WAS ACTIVATED). AFTER THE MOST RECENT EVENT IN WHICH THE BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT, I WAS ABLE TO GET NORMAL BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY BY REPEATEDLY PRESSING THE PEDAL WHILE STATIONARY. THE PRESSURE DID NOT GRADUALLY BUILD IN THE PEDAL AS WOULD BE EXPECTED IF THERE WAS AIR IN THE LINE, IT WAS LIKE FLIPPING A SWITCH - ONE PRESS WAS SPONGEY AND THEN THE NEXT WAS NORMAL. I ALSO ATTEMPTED TO GET THE PEDAL BACK TO NORMAL BY BRAKING HEAVILY TO CAUSE THE ABS TO REENGAGE BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE ON THIS EXACT CAR FOR THIS EXACT YEAR BUILT IN THE SAME FORD PLANT (MEXICO) BUT THIS SPECIFIC VIN IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECALL. I BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE HAS A FAULTY ABS UNIT IN WHICH THE VALVES GET STUCK OPEN CAUSING THE FLUID TO CIRCLE THROUGH THE UNIT RATHER THAN APPLY THE BRAKES WHEN THEY ARE APPLIED. THIS ALSO EXPLAINS WHY THE PEDAL GOES BACK TO NORMAL - THERE IS NO AIR IN THE SYSTEM OR ANYTHING, THE VALVE IS GETTING STUCK OPEN AND THEN BECOMING UNSTUCK. THE RECALL NUMBER THAT I BELIEVE SHOULD INCLUDE THIS VEHICLE IS 16V250000. THIS VEHICLE IS CLEARLY EXHIBITING THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS THE VEHICLES IN THE AFOREMENTIONED RECALL AND IS THE SAME MODEL AND MODEL YEAR, AND IS ALSO BUILT IN THE SAME FORD PLANT AS THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.
