Tamara recall I was recently in an accident where my vehicle was totaled! I was traveling at approximately 67 MPH and hit something at a dead stop. No airbags deployed.
I was driving in a school zone when a vehicle ran a yield sign and hit me on the drivers side front. My airbags didn't deploy. The impact pushed me through a fence and into a residential yard. I hit my head on the window and the handle that was molded into the drivers side windshield. The left side of my body took the impact and I was wearing my seatbelt. I suffered a tbi and have been unable to work, drive, and function for a year.
The hydralic controller went out after getting the brakes repaired by the dealer. Their was no warning that the pump had gone out. This allowed the brakes to fail making the car a hazard on the road. I was informed by the ford service technician there was not a warning light of failure, way to check it, and the part was not suppose to fail. This causing a extremely dangerous situation when it goes out. I have got the old part which cost over $1000.00.
