I've been hearing air in my brakes for two days and my brakes were not working as good as before. I haven't lost any brake fluid. As I was driving down the road and while braking to stop my brake pedal hit the bottom of my foot really hard and brakes went completely out and all I could hear was air and the brakes became almost impossible to press at all anymore.

Brought to the dealer on April 21, 2021, Sayville Ford, Sayville NY and they told me to pick up the vehicle, had the same soft pedal. Drove it home and 2 weeks later hit an uneven surface and pedal went to the floor, had to pump numerous times to stop, almost hit a parked car. This had happened 2 times before I received the recall notice and both times ended up in the intersection. Brought it back to Sayville Ford they had it for 2 weeks and called me to tell me that Ford Motors Denied the claim and will not fix the problem. I bought this vehicle new in 2006 for my wife and I will not let her drive it. It is very dangerous to be driven on the road at this point. The vehicle has only 32,000 miles I spoke to Ford Motor Corp and they will not honor this Recall 19S54. Please help, I do not know where to go from here.

AND NOW 2ND RECALL IS THE ANTI-LOCK BREAK WHICH CLAIMS IT CAN BE OPEN CAUSING YOU TO HAVE TO BREAKER SOONER POSSIBLE CAUSING A CRASH. I AM CURRENTLY NOT ABLE TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR AND WITH THE FORD SETTLEMENT HAVEN'T HEARD ABOUT THE SAFETY OF US DRIVING UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.
