| The brake fluid is leaking from the brake pressure differential deactivation switch. i called russ milne ford my local dealership and where the vehicle was purchased and they said there was no recall, but when i looked it up online it states it is a major problem and could cause a fire. the said it would cost about $90 or so to fix it. i have already put a over $2000 in repairs in the last 2 years on this vehicle. i feel this should be fixed for free being it is a problem that they are very well aware of. | |||
