2017 Ford Escape - SERVICE BRAKES Failure Complaint (#b17f04)

2017 Ford Escape

  • Date of Incident: Dec-18, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Dec-26, 2024
  • Failed components: SERVICE BRAKES

I had recently brought an suv that came with no manuals for that vehicle. Which is important and crucial, but the scariest part and a life-threatening way. It came with no brake fluid at all. I was shocked, and you put my life and my son in danger. I will file a complain with federal trade commission (ftc), state's attorney general's office, state's department of commerce , better business bureau (bbb) and the national highway traffic safety administration (nhtsa) for car safety issues and manufacturer recalls. It can be dangerous, and your brakes may not work properly. The fluid operates under high temperatures and high pressure, and without it, your car would not be able to stop when you push the brake pedal inside your vehicle. It will simply go to the floor without stopping, which will have catastrophic consequences. Thank you, falvey's. I will order the manuals myself and go to o’reilly auto parts first thing this morning to top off my brake fluid. Thank you, jesus, for protecting me and my son. The devil is a liar. That my consciousness told me to do further research and investigation. I forgive you all and hope the next customers get treated professionally, especially when it comes to safety. Number one priority!
