2024 FORD EXPEDITION Service Brakes Problems

I own a 2024 Ford Expedition XLT. The vehicle repeatedly loses multiple federally mandated safety systems including Blind Spot Monitoring, Cross-Traffic Alert, Automatic Emergency Braking, Forward Collision Warning, and camera systems. Alerts include: ‘Cross-Traffic System Fault,’ ‘Blind Spot System Fault,’ ‘Pre-Collision Assist Not Available,’ ‘Front Camera Fault,’ and ‘Check Parking Sensors.’ Ford has acknowledged this as a known issue with a fix delayed until June. My dealer (Morries Ford, Buffalo MN) is charging $225 each time the defect recurs just to clear errors. This is a safety defect that places my family at risk. Ford is refusing to cover the full repair cost and the dealer is charging for temporary resets.

I am the owner of a 2024 Ford Expedition, purchased new in March 2024. I am writing to formally report multiple instances of complete brake failure, which pose a significant safety risk. The most recent incident occurred on [XXX], at approximately [XXX], while I was driving northbound on [XXX] in Cupertino, California, with my wife and two grandchildren (ages [XXX] and [XXX]) in the vehicle. As I approached the [XXX] exit, I began decelerating. While applying continuous pressure on the brake pedal during the descent of the off-ramp, the brake pedal suddenly went soft and sank to the floor. The vehicle failed to slow down and began accelerating downhill, due to gravity, toward the intersection at [XXX] , where the light was red. This total loss of braking control lasted for approximately 5 to 10 seconds and nearly resulted in a serious collision. I was only able to regain control by releasing and reapplying the brake pedal and shifting the transmission into Park, at which point the brakes resumed normal function. A similar brake failure occurred earlier in 2024 under comparable driving conditions. At that time, I believed it to be an isolated mechanical glitch, and therefor did not take it to the dealer. I brought the vehicle to Frontier Ford in Santa Clara the following day ([XXX]) for immediate inspection. Despite ongoing efforts by the dealership and Ford engineering, the issue has not been duplicated or resolved. As of this writing, the vehicle remains at the dealership. I am filing this complaint so that the matter may be officially documented and thoroughly investigated as a potential systemic safety defect affecting this model. I urge you to investigate this issue promptly to help prevent similar incidents and ensure the safety of other drivers and passengers.

The issue involves the brake system, specifically a brake fluid leak from the master cylinder area, which was identified under Ford Safety Recall 25S47. The component is still in the possession of the dealership and should be available for inspection upon request. I did not personally experience any symptoms while driving. There were no warning lights, messages, or noticeable changes in braking performance before the issue was discovered. The problem was confirmed by the service department at JC Lewis Ford during a recall inspection. They deemed the vehicle unsafe to drive due to the risk of reduced or complete loss of front braking power, which could place my safety and the safety of others at risk. As of now, the vehicle has been at the dealership for over 35 days, and Ford has not provided a fix or repair parts. I am currently driving a loaner vehicle. The issue has not been resolved and the vehicle remains out of service.

I actually have already sent in an assessment for airbag, but then read the recall on brakes, which at the time, because a new vehicle, I didn’t think possible. Even when pushing on my brakes, my vehicle was not slowing down like it should have, and I had a front end collision. It was hard for me to think this was because of brakes because new, but I do think they need to be examined.

I was in a car accident on June 12, 2025, and my steering wheel airbag did not deploy correctly or function correctly. It was a front in straightforward collision. I did not have warning signs so my brakes could have been an issue because I was paying attention and unable to avoid an accident going under the speed limit. The rear cross traffic. Warning stays on pretty consistently because we live down a dirt road, and every time it rains, it again comes back on. I do not believe I heard the forward collision detection go off either. When I hit the back of a work convoy truck straight on, My steering wheel airbag did not deploy correctly. It did come out it never inflated. It did not protect me. I do not have any broken bones, but I do have a hematoma right beside my under arm, and a great deal of bruising.

Applied brakes and instead of braking, vehicle accelerated on its own. Please note, when brake applied, felt resistance and simultaneously vehicle accelerated into lane of traffic. Rate of speed was very low, as I was coming to a stop in a parking lot. No warning lights on dash, dealership confirmed it was not the floor mats, there are no loose items in vehicle. My safety was put at risk as well as anyone walking/crossing the walk area and any vehicles that may have been in the lane of traffic. I immediately contacted dealership and was told to bring it in. The dealership has the vehicle currently, information provided to me by dealership. The vehicle was running self tests. Now the Tech has opened a Ford Hotline report, have not been able to duplicate issue and now awaiting response from Ford as to how proceed in diagnosing vehicle. Incident occurred July 25, 2024.

Two issues with a brand new vehicle that is in the service department and they are unable to diagnose the issue. The major concern is regarding the braking system. While in a parking lot driving slowly (5-10 mph) the brakes suddenly locked up and the vehicle came to a complete stop. A message appeared reading "Brake system failure, have brakes serviced". The message then went away and the vehicle was able to continue. The other issue is a front sensor keeps beeping as if there is something in that area. The brake issue is concerning, if we were on the interstate traveling at 70 mph this could be a major safety issue and puts us in danger. The car only has 300 miles on it.
