I feel that this problem was caused by poor engineering by ford motor company. I have contacted ford motor but they refuse to take responsibilty. This fire was not my fault ! This fire was caused by a faulty plastic brake reservoir unit that leaked on the main wire harness causing a short then a fire. My insurance company paid for the repairs after I paid out $500 dollers for my deductible. I feel that ford moter should reimburse me my $500 dollars. My insurance company refuses to pursue the matter. Ford motor refuses to take action unless my insurance company talks to them. My hands are tied. I'm just a consumer fighting two giants. Thanks for takeing the time to hear my complaint. Mike n.

Opened hood and noticed fire and complete melt down of master brake cylinder unit/reservior, which is made of plastic. Major wire harness is near plastic master brake cylinder, some wires are underneath unit. Cause: oil brake fluid leaking from plastic reservior causing wire to dissolve, then caused a fire to start when starting vehicle.
Ongoing / intermittent problem when applying brakes. Pedal would go to the floor or harden while applying. This caused extended stopping distance. Please feel free to provide any further details.
