AFTER READING THE BELOW REPORT, WE TOOK OUR 2002 FORD ESCAPE TO GOLDEN CIRCLE FORD IN JACKSON TN. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THEY HAD NEVER HEARD OF THIS REPORT. OUR MASTER CYLINDER HAS BRAKE FLUID LEAKING ALL AROUND IT AND EVEN LEAVES SPOTS IN THE GARAGE. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IT SEEMS ONE HAND HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE OTHER IS DOING. THESE REPORTS NEED TO ALSO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SO THEY CAN BE FAMILIAR WITH PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PRODUCTS. TO DATE, OUR PROBLEM STILL HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. COMPONENT: SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:MASTER CYLINDER DETAILS: CERTAIN CARDONE MASTER CYLINDERS WITH DATE CODES LOWER THAN DCA7078 SOLD AS REPLACEMENT EQUIPMENT FOR USE ON THE VEHICLES LISTED ABOVE. THE SEAL ON MASTER CYLINDER CAN FAIL AND LEAK BRAKE FLUID. CONSEQUENCE: LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID CAN RESULT IN POOR BRAKING PERFORMANCE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
