June 1994 Crash

Dt NHTSA recall 92v026000 was issued. However, this vehicle was not included in the recall due to VIN. My brakes failed. The dealer has not looked at the vehicle because they would charge the consumer for the repairs. Contacted ford, they gave the run around. There was no warning before the brakes went out. The brake fluid was over heating. The brake pedal went down to the floor. Had to use emergency brake, and the brakes on the boat that I was towing. This happened on friday august 12, 2005.
