2020 Ford Mustang Brakes Problems

My wife was pulling into her head-in parking space at work and the brakes did not slow the car down. She pressed the brakes hard. The car went over a curb and hit a fire hydrant. The fire hydrant broke off and the car rolled over it. The car went into the street and she steered it to keep it out of traffic and stopped by using the parking brake. There were no warning lights. The airbag(s) did not deploy. There were no personal injuries. The car was inspected by a repair shop and deemed a total loss. A brake line was damaged during the crash. The repair shop personnel did not think the brakes failed prior to the accident because the master cylinder had fluid in it. No other brake inspections have been done.

The Hill Start Assist System has detected a failure.

BRAKE PEDAL BRACKETS THAT BROKE DURING EMERGENCY BREAKING

WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH HEAVY PRESSURE WAS APPLIED TO BRAKE PEDAL CAUSING THE BRACKET HOLDING THE BRAKE PEDAL LEVER TO SNAP. THE BRAKE PEDAL THEN SUNK TO THE FLOOR CAUSING THE BRAKES TO NO LONGER BE FUNCTIONAL. THE ENTIRE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS THEN DANGLING FROM THE ONE OF IT'S CONNECTION POINTS. A PIECE OF THE PEDAL BRACKET HAD SNAPPED FROM THE PIVOT POINT AND WAS THEN LOOSE ON THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT CAUSED. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL ACCIDENT.

I MADE A SAFE DRIVING TRAINING WITH MY NEW 2020 FORD MUSTANG GT (EU MODEL) (AS I DO FOR EVERY NEW CAR I BOUGHT). DURING THE FIRST BREAK TRAINING (EMERGENCY BRAKING FROM 50KM/H (~31MPH) TO 0 ) THE BREAK PEDAL BROKE. LUCKILY JUST RIGHT BEFORE THE VEHICLE STOPS AND NOT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE MANEUVER. IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE TO MOVE THE VEHICLE ANYMORE, AS THE PEDAL WAS LOOSE NOW AND BRAKING NOT POSSIBLE ANYMORE. I THINK MAYBE OTHER BATCHES OF THIS PLASTIC BREAK-PEDAL HOLDERS MIGHT BE AFFECTED (PLEASE SEE ATTACHED PICTURES).
