Defect Description:
UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
MY SUNROOF RANDOMLY CRACKED WHILE I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. NOTHING HIT IT SO I WAS CURIOUS IF THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM.. I LOOKED AROUND ONLINE AND FOUND THAT IT IS IN FACT A COMMON ISSUE WITH SOME PEOPLE'S SUNROOFS EVEN EXPLODING!!! I CALLED FORD AND WAS TOLD THE EXACT SAME THING THAT I FOUND EVERYONE ELSE SAYING ONLINE.. THAT FORD WON'T DO ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND THAT SOME PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN MORE THAN ONCE... I AM NOW TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY NEW (TO ME) VEHICLE THAT I JUST BOUGHT 2 MONTHS AGO.. MY GLASS INSURANCE IS GIVING ME ISSUES COVERING THIS BECAUSE IT'S NOT A WINDSHIELD AND I DON'T HAVE $2200 LAYING AROUND TO FIX IT AT THE MOMENT.. HOW LONG UNTIL IT STARTS LEAKING AND CAUSING OTHER ISSUES..???

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES. THERE WAS NO RESISTANCE, AND I HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL DOWN TO THE FLOOR TO GET ANY RESISTANCE, AND THE VEHICLE FINALLY SLOWED TO A STOP, TAKING MUCH LONGER THAN USUAL. MY TWO YOUNG CHILDREN AND WIFE WERE IN THE CAR WITH ME AS WELL. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE, AND LOOKED UNDERNEATH, ONLY TO SEE BRAKE FLUID LEAKING OUT NEAR THE FRONT RIGHT TIRE. UPON GETTING BACK IN THE VEHICLE, I RECEIVED A WARNING THAT THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WAS LOW. THE VEHICLE HAS 43,000 MILES ON IT, AND WE HAD DRIVEN 20+ MILES EARLIER WITHOUT ISSUE. WE DID NOT RUN ANYTHING OVER OR HIT ANYTHING. THERE IS A CURRENT RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE REGARDING A BRAKE ISSUE, HOWEVER, ON TOWING TO THE DEALER, THEY TOLD ME THIS ISSUE IS NOT RELATED, YET I FEEL THAT IT IS, AND IS TOO COINCIDENTAL TO HAPPEN IN THE EXACT LOCATION OF THE RECALLED PART. THEY TRIED TO TELL ME THAT I MUST HAVE RUN SOMETHING OVER TO CAUSE THE RUPTURE/LEAK, BUT I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE CASE.
