Custom, brake malfunction message & limp mode.

Postby Andrew Baker » Sun Sep 23, 2018 1:46 pm

I got some messages on my 2018 Custom info pannel (Brake system malfunction stop safely / something about hillstart assist/ then service due.
A few miles later when I was at a junction the van started to judder as I pulled away, then went into limp mode and could only drive very slow, pulled in turned van off and on , message came back on screen about brake system malfunction but it drove ok so I got the van home. Van has done just under 4000 miles, I'm going to ring the dealer tomorrow but has anyone else had this problem ?.

I've read about something simular in a Belgium Ford Forum. There was someone wo wrecked his clutch due to driving whith those symptoms.
The brake booster/ master brake cylinder malfunctioned and the brakes stayed partially closed.
