2020 Ford Mustang Brakes

My wife was pulling into her head-in parking space at work and the brakes did not slow the car down. She pressed the brakes hard. The car went over a curb and hit a fire hydrant. The fire hydrant broke off and the car rolled over it. The car went into the street and she steered it to keep it out of traffic and stopped by using the parking brake. There were no warning lights. The airbag(s) did not deploy. There were no personal injuries. The car was inspected by a repair shop and deemed a total loss. A brake line was damaged during the crash. The repair shop personnel did not think the brakes failed prior to the accident because the master cylinder had fluid in it. No other brake inspections have been done.

ON 8/29/2020 A FORD AGENCY LOCATED IN MIAMI, FL SOLD ME MY 2020 FORD MUSTANG VEHICLE WITH A FACTORY DEFECT IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THEY DID NOT MAKE THE PARTICIPATION IN TIME TO CORRECT THE MECHANICAL DEFECT OF MY VEHICLE ACCORDING TO TO NHTSA. THE TRUTH IS THAT I HAD AN ACCIDENT IN THE CITY OF MIAMI, FL ON 10/29/2020 8:27 PM GOING UP THE EXIT RAMP 826 PALMETO EXPRESSWAY IN THE CITY OF MIAMI, FL WITH THE TOTAL LOSS OF MY VEHICLE SHOOTING THE BAGS OF AIR. THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED BECAUSE THE POLICE PROCEEDED TO STOP THE TRAFFIC IN A PREVENTIVE WAY AND SUDDENLY BECAUSE A MOTORIZED CARAVAN WAS PASSING ALL THE VEHICLES WE HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKE WITH THE MISFORTUNE THAT MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE FAILURE IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM WITH WHO SOLD IT TO ME, THE BRAKE LINE BROKE CAUSING THIS DAMAGE TO MY CAR, THE COLLISION FROM THE REAR WITH A TRUCK. I ATTACH PHOTOS OF THE BREAKAGE OF THE BRAKE LINES, PHOTOS OF MY VEHICLE'S CONDITION, A LETTER ISSUED BY THE ACCIDENT CLINIC WHERE I KEEP DOING REHABILITATION THERAPY AND A POLICE REPORT.

MANUFACTURER RECALL 20S52 AND NHTSA RECALL 20V573 NOTIFIED WALKER FORD, FL, NO ACTION BEING TAKEN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2020 FORD MUSTANG. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO IMMEDIATELY STOP. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER AND RICART FORD LOCATED AT 4255 S HAMILTON RD, GROVEPORT, OH 43125, WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 3,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I MADE A SAFE DRIVING TRAINING WITH MY NEW 2020 FORD MUSTANG GT (EU MODEL) (AS I DO FOR EVERY NEW CAR I BOUGHT). DURING THE FIRST BREAK TRAINING (EMERGENCY BRAKING FROM 50KM/H (~31MPH) TO 0 ) THE BREAK PEDAL BROKE. LUCKILY JUST RIGHT BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPS AND NOT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MANEUVER. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE, AS THE PEDAL WAS LOOSE NOW AND BRAKING NOT POSSIBLE ANYMORE. I THINK MAYBE OTHER BATCHES OF THIS PLASTIC BREAK-PEDAL HOLDERS MIGHT BE AFFECTED (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PICTURES).

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH HEAVY PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL CAUSING THE BRACKET HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL LEVER TO SNAP. THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN SUNK TO THE FLOOR CAUSING THE BRAKES TO NO LONGER BE FUNCTIONAL. THE ENTIRE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS THEN DANGLING FROM THE ONE OF IT'S CONNECTION POINTS. A PIECE OF THE PEDAL BRACKET HAD SNAPPED FROM THE PIVOT POINT AND WAS THEN LOOSE ON THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT CAUSED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT.
