Progressive and then complete brake failure, stopping only after engaging the park-brake. The incident occurred on a 'sidestreet', [XXX]. No additional traffic at that time minimized immediate risk; The park-brake engaged at our home and the vehicle stopped. The brake pedal went completely to the car floor when pressed. The "Low Brake Fluid" warning displayed on the dashboard. A puddle of fluid drained onto the pavement behind the right rear tire. The car was towed to the "Serra Ford" dealership, Farmington Hills, Michigan. The dealer found "...right rear flex hose leaking...". The dealer replaced both rear flex hoses, rear brake drums and rotors. The cost for brake related diagnosis, parts and labor was $1050.54. I paid the bill because the parts were not yet available to satisfy recall 25V544. Discussions with the dealership directed me to Ford Motor Customer Service to seek any reimbursement. I was told that because the recall was not addressed that any reimbursement possibility would have to wait it was.

Problem: Rear brake flexible hose leak. The right rear flexible brake hose failed as I was driving home. The brake pedal went to the floor. Fortunately, that only occurred one block from my home. I parked my car in my driveway and looked for the source of the problem. My initial thought was that my brake master cylinder may have failed, so I added DOT4 brake fluid to the brake fluid reservoir. The fluid immediately drained to the right rear tire and on to the ground. I did an internet search and discovered the recall. On XXX I called my local dealer (Bob Bell Ford, [XXX]) and the lady confirmed that the flexible brake hose for the recall was NOT available. I asked her to document my phone call and concern. Ford's own web site stated that my vehicle has a Ford recall campaign dated 2025-08-25, Campaign 25S87/25V544. Rear flexible brake hose leak. This is a SAFETY issue. I was advised to get the flexible brake line replaced at an independent repair shop and provide the receipts to them for possible reimbursement from Ford. I was informed that the recall has NOT officially been issued and that I should receive notification in September 2026. On XXX called Ford HQ on their Customer Service line. They recorded my VIN. The lady informed me that the flexible brake line was not available and to wait for the official recall notice. I stated to her, in other words, my car should be a paper weight that can't be used. She understood my concern. The only way that Ford would reimburse me would be if the work was done by a Ford dealer, using Ford parts (that's currently impossible). I advised that I had no choice but to take it to an independent repair shop and use aftermarket parts to get the SUV back on the road. She said that she would advise her superiors of my concern. On XXX, my SUV was towed on a flatbed to Prince's Tire and Auto Service Pasadena MD for repair. On XXX Prince's CONFIRMED that the right rear flexible brake hose had failed.
