Ford Motor Company is recalling select 2016-2017 Ford Expedition models equipped with Ford’s 3.5L EcoBoost V6 due to a brake master cylinder issue.

Ford is not aware of any reports of accidents or injuries related to this condition.
Components: brake master cylinder.
Affected vehicles: select 2016-2017 Ford Expedition models built at the Ford Kentucky Truck Plant between July 20th, 2015, and January 31st, 2017.

Comments
I am one of the most unfortunate owners of a 2017 Ford Expedition who’s brakes did fail completely as I coasted into a parking lot. For over 8 weeks now, my car has been sitting at Riverside Ford in Macon, GA waiting on the proper parts to fix this brake malfunction safety recall problem. I have contacted my recall advisor to ask for a loaner car but to no avail. I’m told to go rent a car (on my dime) and then later I can attempt to get only a 60% refund.
I am single, and must ask friends for rides constantly. I want to trade this car in now but don’t know what value I would get with no functioning brakes.
This is totally unacceptable!!
I was never notified of this recall until went in for an oil change last week. VERY disappointed in Ford.
I found out about the master cylinder recall the evening of the same day my brakes failed leading to my car accident. I need to know what Ford plans to do to pay for repairs and deductibles causes by the failed master cylinder.
