Service Brakes
Filed Jun 3, 2021AL
Brand new vehicle, first trip, what appears to be a break pads lock up, smell rubber first, got signal from another driver to pull over. When we got home got recall notice 21S17 with specific instructions to get back to dealer for service, but dealer does not have parts and told me not to come for the interim service until parts arrived, not sure if it is related, but recording the event here. Spent all day on the computer with live chat and a couple of phone calls, but not really any help from Ford.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
