2009 Ford Expedition Brakes Problems

“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.”

“The brake sensor has malfunctioned and I am not able to take the vehicle out of park. If I depressed the brake pedal multiple times, it will finally sense the brakes and let me drive. Also, sometimes during driving the brake lights will not illuminate when pressed. Ford has issued a recall for this problem based on the date of manufacture. However, my model was not included as it was build 6 months prior to the timeframe outlined by Ford. Clearly the recall needs to be expanded since the problem is occurring in a wider timeframe than was determined by Ford.”

“The contact owns a 2009 Ford Expedition xlt. The contact stated that vehicle was a police vehicle and when driving at high rates of speeds with the brake pedal depressed it would act as it was locked. In order to release it he would had to apply extreme pressure to the pedal. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who advised him that the stability control was active and had to be shut off in order for the brakes to release easily. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.”
