Over the last four months, the right shoulder harness strap on our Baby Trend car seat has spontaneously disengaged from the rear metal splitter plate on five separate occasions: three times discovered prior to loading our toddler into the seat, and twice while the vehicle was actively in motion on the road (including once on the interstate). The entire car seat and all original components remain in our possession and are fully available for inspection upon request. When the shoulder harness strap slips off the splitter plate, the harness instantly loses all tension. On the two occasions while driving, the strap completely detached, leaving our toddler unrestrained. During the most recent in

Brake Booster All of a sudden my brake went to the floor and made a hissing sound, spongy response. Took it to Cowin Ford and they diagnosed and replaced the brake booster.

Brake Booster Was exiting the freeway so already slowed but it was a curvy off-ramp, thankfully no one was close and the car was already slowed, but on hazards and coasted home at 5 mph. Huge safety concern Tow truck towed to HTS Automotive to determine the brake booster went out, which we already knew as the same thing happened in 2023! No warnings, no symptoms prior

Break Booster Break fell to the floor, slow to stop, spongy. I was able to put on my hazards and roll to safety stop. Huge risk if I was going faster or turning a curve. Dangerous to me and others to not being able to stop The problem hasn’t been taken to the shop yet as it was closed and I had the same problem in 2025 and 2023 which were confirmed and fixed with ford parts. I am suspecting it is the same issue. Even if replaced the car is likely not safe wi the this part failing 3 times in less than 4 years. No warnings or symptoms, just falls to the floor and spongy break reaction
