2013 FORD F-150 Service Brakes Problems

Put the truck in reverse [from park] and when I braked the pedal went to the floor and took many seconds to stop the vehicle. Checked the brake fluid, very low, filled it, pumped the brakes until it was no longer to the floor, checked the fluid again and filled it again. Parked it then tested it 20 minutes later, brakes were to the floor. Took it to mechanic who added brake fluid and looked everywhere underneath for leaking, found no brake fluid leak anywhere. Checked online for recall on defective braking system and found this. Reference MFR Campaign Number: 16S24, Defect Summary: Loss of brake fluid from the primary reservoir results in a complete loss of front brake function, increasing the risk of a crash. That's the problem. I have an appointment 11/3/25 with Russ Milne Ford who says they will replace the brake booster, fill the brake fluid & replace the master cylinder, if necessary, as per usual with this recall.

The contact owned a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the son was driving approximately 93 MPH, and while approaching a stop light, the vehicle continued to drive into an intersection and crashed into a commercial Semi truck. During the crash, the three front-seat occupants sustained fatal injuries. The rear driver-side passenger sustained head trauma and was rushed to the hospital. A police report was filed and indicated a possible brake malfunction had occurred before the crash. During the incident, the vehicle was destroyed and later towed away. The exact cause of the failure was not determined. The manufacturer and local dealer were notified of the failure. The contact was later informed that the VIN was not included in the NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V345000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). The contact indicated that the vehicle had experienced the same failure listed in the recall. Also, the vehicle was inspected and determined that the brake booster was corroded. The failure mileage was 100,000.

Mileage: 100,000

Complete, instant brake failure at only 105871 miles. My wife was backing out of the drive @5 mph, brake pedal pushed clear to floor with no warning. 3-4 minutes later, the brake warning light came on. No warning light ahead of time. Reservoir was very low, I added 12 oz. DOT3 fluid…..brakes seemed ok. Got up the next morning , brake low fluid light is on and all 12 oz of brake fluid are gone, not a drip anywhere to be seen. Called the dealer….basically because our VIN has not been listed in any recall, we are out of luck on any help with repairs. Incident occurred in our drive, my wife was very lucky. Ford has a serious problem. We are the original owner, 2013 with 105871 miles. Vehicle is very excellent condition. If this would have happened on the highway, serious injury or death to us or others would have been very likely. Taking to the dealer on Monday June 9 for a diagnosis and a serious talk. Hopefully after a confirmation of master cylinder failure and leakage into the brake booster (which Ford knows is an issue), they will be able to repair under an expired recall that should have included our 2013 with the 3.5 eco boost engine. Dealer’s service dept. agreed with me over the phone but added not to get my hopes up because Ford did not list every VIN in the recall that they should have included. Interestingly, back in May, Ford notified us by mail, that as still the original owner there had been issues with the master cylinder and booster. If we had a repair done, they would reimburse up to 700.00 if we could provide proof. We have had no issues, nor any repairs, so we threw the notice away. So, a month after the notification from Ford, here we are. I would think the lawsuits are out there somewhere, I would rather not be a part of any of that….this should get Fords prompt attention from a safety standpoint. So we’ll see what happens.

My Vehicle has 116,000 miles and the CPU/ ABS Unit is not working. I took it to a Ford Dealership and they said the part alone is $3,000.00 . I feel although the vehicle is 12 years old it has low mileage and I feel that a part of this type should not malfunction. I would like Ford to pay for this repair and how many other F-150’s are out there experiencing this same problem? Could you please investigate this problem. I still have bakes but the ABS and Down hill slope assist is not working. All the brake lights come on ABS, Down Hill Slope Assist, and the brake line. The warning light and bells come on within a few hundred feet when moving. I had the vehicle inspected by a local Ford Dealership and they informed me the ABS unit needs replaced. This has been happening since April of this year 2025.

Traction Control Module failed -- (as diagnosed and confirmed by the dealer) I did a quick stop (someone cut in front of me), and felt the anti-locks 'kick in'. Later that day, the dashboard lit up with three warning lights and two messages stating that the anti-lock and brake systems needed to be serviced. I am not sure what risks are associated with this --- but... its the braking system. The repair cost estimate: Nearly $6,000.00

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the vehicle was running rough and there was a strong burning smell. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the ABS fuse was overheating, was damaging the brake pads and rotors, and was causing the vehicle to overheat. The mechanic advised the contact to remove the ABS fuse, and the contact removed the fuse. The vehicle was later taken to another independent mechanic, where it was determined that the failure was related to the ABS module. The vehicle was taken to a transmission specialist, where the same assessment was made. The vehicle was taken to an unknown dealer, where it was diagnosed that the ABS module had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired due to the cost. The contact stated while driving approximately 50 MPH and approaching the stop light, the vehicle in front of her vehicle stopped prematurely. The contact stated that upon depressing the brake pedal to stop the vehicle, the vehicle decelerated but failed to stop as intended and crashed into the rear of the other vehicle. The contact stated that the ABS and the traction control warning lights were illuminated. The air bags did not deploy. The contact hit the right leg shin area against the dashboard and sustained a punctured wound on the leg. The contact also sustained a swollen right leg and back pain. The emergency units physically examined the contact and recommended medical assistance for the right leg injury. The contact later went to urgent care but could not afford the cost of the medical care. The contact then treated the injuries at home. It was unknown whether the other driver sustained injuries. There was no property damage. A police report was filed but the contact did not have the information available. The police determined that it was a no-fault accident. The contact was able to drive the vehicle from the scene. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hot

I was recently driving on the freeway in the #1 lane when my 2013 F150 began to experience a loss of power. While traveling at 70 mph, I noticed that my transmission had shifted and was stuck in 5th gear. I continued to depress the accelerator with no response. I then felt a sudden jolt from the transmission shifting to a lower gear and continued to travel. There was no warning light indicating that the truck was experiencing a malfunction. On Nov 26th I took my truck to an authorized Ford dealership service department who performed a diagnostic test on the transmission who recommended an immediate transmission flush and service, which I scheduled immediately. While on scheduling the repairs to my vehicle I learned that there was a recall on the 2011-2013 Ford F150 trucks. I learned that NHTSA issued a recall on 2/11/2019 and 6/10/19 due to the component failure of the transmissions in those vehicles causing the loss of power while driving. Both of these recalls involved either electrical component failure or mechanical failure of the parts installed in each vehicle that involved the powertrain. I was never notified by the NHTSA or Ford Motor Corporation of the recalls on my vehicle. During a phone conversation with Ford I was told that there is no longer a recall on the 2011-2013 F150. I was also told by a representative of Ford that there is no record of Ford sending me notification of the time of the recall. Here are the recall numbers that I found: 1. 19V075000 2. 19V433000 3. 16V345000 Thank you for your consideration.

Master Cylinder leaked into brake booster causing complete brake failure. Had to use downshifting and emergency brake to stop. Contact Ford and they said not on recall list. Have a nice day.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while his daughter was driving in a parking lot, she depressed the brake pedal and it became stiff. The vehicle failed to slow down as intended. The vehicle collided with a parked car. A police report was not filed and there were no injuries reported. The contact then began driving at approximately 30 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, and he observed a grinding noise emanating from the front driver side of the vehicle. The brake pedal then became stiff and did not slow down as intended. The vehicle was placed in the park position on multiple occasions to stop the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the check valve was clogged and the brake vacuum booster pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 170,000.

Mileage: 170,000

I started the truck and as I backed out of a parking spot, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor and the brakes did not stop the truck. I used the emergency brake to stop and pulled back into the parking spot. I checked the brake fluid and it was low. I purchased some at the store I was at and filled up the reservoir. I pumped the brakes and they appeared to work. After driving for about a block the brake fluid light came on and the reservoir was empty. No fluid leaking anywhere under the vehicle.

Brake pedal goes very hard and unless you press with both feet you will not stop. it happens intermittently. Almost had two accidents because of this and I knew what to do. If someone else was driving there would definitely been an accident. Also the engine mounted vacuum pump is leaking oil which seems to be a problem with everyone on these vehicles. The oil leaking directly onto the hot tubo creating a burning smell.

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the contact depressed the brake pedal down to the floor and the brakes were inoperable. The contact swerved to avoid an accident. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with failed brake master cylinder. The contact was informed that the brake master cylinder and the brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to report the failure to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000.

Mileage: 71,000

The brakes instantly became soft and unresponsive with a warning chime and message to service the vehicle. The brake fluid reservoir was empty with no apparent leaks on the vehicle. I refilled the brake reservoir only to watch it disappear over a short time. I researched and found there is a recall 16S24 impacting Ford F150 ecoboost vehicles with this exact symptom. My vehicle does not show up on the recall list having been manufactured at the Dearborn facility in June of 2013 where the cutoff was August 2013. At this point, Ford has refused to recognize this issue is the same.

I took my truck in a couple of weeks ago to get the recall done due to downshifting. Picked it up the next day and they told me they resolved the issue. The next day it happened again and it continued for a week. I called the dealership (Holmes Tuttle Ford) and they said they would charge me $200 plus maintenance fee even though it is a recall. Fast forward to today and my truck went out and will not start. Called ford and they informed me that although they cleared the recall they did not actually fix the problem because it was not present when they turned it on and told me I would have to repair it on my own even though they did not attempt to fix it.

WHILE DRIVING BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, AFTER THAT BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, UNABLE TO STOP, MOVE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND STOPPED WITH PARKING BRAKE SLOWLY. UPON INSPECTION NO BRAKE FLUID AT RESERVOIR AND NO EXTERNAL LEAKS. BRAKE FLUID WENT TO BRAKE BOOSTER. UPON RESEARCH FORD HAS A RECALL TO ADDRESS THE SAME COMPLAIN, BUT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WENT TO DEALER AND CALLED FORD, AND THEY COULD NOT HELP BY STATING THAT MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL , EVEN IF THE YEAR IS PART OF IT THE VIN IS NOT. MY F150 VIN IS [XXX] MY NAME [XXX] . [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The truck slammed into 1st gear going 55 mph on the interstate. Through investigation a speed sensor warning was the culprit. Not being able to have truck service for a month due to Ford Dealers being backed up Cavalier Ford sent a mobile mechanic out to me. He spent about 10 minutes on my truck handed me the keys and told me he did something with the computer mo parts are needed. He never test drove it to ensure the problem was corrected. When I went to drive the truck, the wrench light was still on and was worse than before. Actually stuck in first gear. After going around and around I was informed by Fors Customer Service they did their part, anything else I wanted done would be my responsibility financially because of the mileage. I didn't not think recalls had a mileage limit but they are insistent after 150k they were no longer responsible. Cavalier Ford marked the recall as complete but it wasn't. My case number with Ford is CAS44213098 transmission fluid leaking recall was not on there but I am leaking that as well. I don't want something for free, I just want them to correct their defects

Brake fluid is leaking into the brake booster, im not understanding why the recall back in 2020 didn't cover my truck. 2013 f150's were recalled but the Ford dealership says they show nothing.

My break went out an I hit my garage when I start my vehicle or if I’m going down a hill slow the breaks get really hard to push an almost want stop all my breaks an calipers are new so it’s a different issue

Master Cylinder failed, causing all fluid to go into the booster, which resulted in no braking ability at all. fortunately I was in a parking lot when the occured, the vehicle was traveling at slow speed and was stopped by coming up against a curb. the low brake fluid warning came on at the time of total failure, this would have resulted in a serious accident had it occured on the roadway. the vehcle is being repaired at a local shop after it was towed there following this incident. An attempt was made to refill the master cylinder with brake fluid but it immediately empted with any attempt to use the brakes. there was no other visible sign of leak.

I’ve went though 8 wheel bearings in the last 6 months on the drivers side tire alone. I’ve had to replace brake hoses every few weeks and I’ve had to take it to two different dealerships. Also it keep downshift from 6 gear to first with no warning. I’m afraid it’s gonna cause me to wreck.

Brakes began to pulse when pressure applied to pedal. Complete loss of brake crashed in parking lot wall. Was knocked unconscious. The brake system has been professionally serviced. Cant find any reason for loss of brakes. This vehicle has been parked since incident. Because it will keep

The contact owns a 2013 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an unknown speed, the brakes became inoperable. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer where it was diagnosed that the brake master cylinder needed brake fluid added. The mechanic failed to locate a leak. The mechanic added dye to show a possible brake fluid leak. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the local dealer where the vehicle was diagnosed that the brake master cylinder fluid had leaked into the brake booster pump. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the brake booster and brake master cylinder. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V345000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The manufacturer was contacted and referred him to the NHTSA Hotline. The failure mileage was approximately 64,438.

Mileage: 64,438

Locked up in 1st gear while driving.

After driving the truck 5 to 1 minutes on highway or low speeds brakes loose pressure and brake pedal becomes very stiff. Truck almost doesn’t stop with brake pushed fully. Did some research and other model years have been recalled for bad brake booster vacuum leak

I have had numerous brake issues on my 2013 Ford F-150 SuperCrew. One repair was done in the warranty period and 2-3 were not. This vehicle had less than 81,000 miles on it when all of this work was done. It was recently repaired and still isn’t solved. I’ve had two major accidents where my vehicle rear ended other vehicles because of its failure to immediately stop on braking. The dealership can’t solve the problem or don’t know how and I’m afraid to continue to drive this unsafe vehicle.

I was backing into my parking spot at work and my dash dinged and the red brake system warning flashed on my dash, I couldn't push my brake pedal down, lost my brakes. This was very scary. I have lost them before, but not as bad as this time. They didn't come back this time. I am so glad I was in a parking lot and not around other cars.

Brakes are very hard to push the pedal, checked the vacuum pump, and have a good vacuum going to the master cylinder. Brake fluid level is good. Check brake system light comes on after the engine is started and running for about 30 seconds. All reports show that there is no current recalls on my truck.

2013 Ford F-150 SuperCrew FX4 w/ 3.5L Twin Turbo Ecoboost engine. 9/9/2022 8:30am: At start, some whirring/squeaking noise audible in cab. Became louder as brake pedal was pressed. Verified function of brakes before driving. 8:30am - 11:30am: Intermittent driving with stops and engine shut offs at various retail locations. Noise mentioned above still present. Brakes still functioning ~11:30am: Slowed to stop traveling east on Kingwood Dr just past Lake Houston Pkwy in Kingwood/Houston, Harris County, Texas. Prepared to turn left across west bound Kingwood Dr lanes to enter multi-retail plaza. After accelerating to ~10mph, pressed brakes and pedal went to the floor. The vehicle did not slow until pedal was at floor and grinding noise was heard from front brakes (noise similar to when ABS system is utilized). Nearly rear ended the car in front of me (within ~12in from bumper to bumper). Remained stopped until sufficient window of oncoming traffic appeared and plenty of safety space was present within retail plaza turn in. Accelerated gently (forced vehicle to remain in 1st gear) across Kingwood drive into plaza parking lot. Brakes remained in non-functioning condition. Vehicle only slowed when brake pedal was at the floor and grinding noise issued from front brakes. Slowly proceeded to parking spot and stopped (pedal to floor w/noise) and turned off the vehicle. Vehicle was then towed back to house. Significant safety issue as I nearly rear-ended another vehicle and had this happened less than 30 seconds earlier, I would have been trying to stop from a much higher rate of speed (~40mph).

Brake Fluid loss and loss of braking in traffic

Complete failure of brakes on the freeway without warning. Local mechanic diagnosed the issue as "master cylinder leaking into the brake booster" which is the same exact issue that the 3.5 liter engine vehicles are having. The 3.5 liter engine vehicles have a recall, but not the 3.7 liter engine vehicles but it's the same issue.

Slowing down to make a left turn. Brakes failed very difficult to press brake pad and Power transmission system was not responding properly causing my truck brakes to fail, transmission was slipping and the rear tires to slide. End result was a Crash into a pole at a corner. My truck was totaled by the insurance company costing me over $9,000 to replace the truck after the insurance payment. Recall for Master Cylinder and Power train issued after my crash on 2/2/2018.

On August 8, 2022 I noticed a "low brake fluid" warning light on the dash of my Ford F150 truck and experienced greatly reduced brake function. There was no sign of brake fluid on the garage floor. I had AAA tow the truck to a repair shop where they diagnosed a leak from the master cylinder to the brake boost. The master cylinder reservoir was completely and at this point the brakes were completely non functional. I had the repair shop replace the master cylinder, brake boost and do a fuel system maintenance since some of the fluid was found in that system. Total cost to repair was $1583.83.

I was pulling a heavy load within the weight limit for my truck. I started down a steep grade 10mph below speed limit. I went to brake and I had none. The pedal was super hard. The check brake system light came on. I was freaking out because i was picking up speed fast. I had no choice but to shift to manual and down shift to try to slow down. It down shifted from 3rd to second but that was not enough to stop me. I was standing on the brakes. Luckily a "run away truck ramp" was coming up which i entered at about 30 mph. I am a very experienced driver and I was able to avoid a horrible accident but other people might not be so lucky. My brakes were fairly new and there was zero warning that they were about to fail completely. I looked online and saw hundreds of other drivers that had experienced this. Why is it not a recall? I could have died.

While driving down the road the low brake fluid light came on. I drove to a safe stopping area and found the brake fluid reservoir was completely empty. I checked for leaks at all areas under the hood and at brake calipers. No signs of any leaks nor any fluid on the ground. Filled reservoir and drove less than 1 mile and the low brake fluid light came on again. Stopped and checked the brake fluid reservoir and once again it was empty, still no signs of any leaks: based on research I have determined that it is a known problem with this make/model and year of the master cylinder seal going bad which causes the fluid to be sucked into the brake booster.

Heading home on fwy and brakes totally went out and low brake fluid light came on. Was able to pull onto side of fwy. All the brake fluid was gone and no sign of leakage. Was towed home. Filled brake reservoir up and as soon as I hit brakes again all the fluid disappeared. Upon inspection there was no sign of leak anywhere. I'm assuming the fluid is leaking into the brake booster since I cannot see any leaks anywhere.

I have a serious issue with my 2013 Ford F150 Limited. I almost had a horrible accident on I295 because of brake failure. Seems the brake fluid is leaking out and I didnt know this until I tried to brake and the pedal went all the way to the floor. Then the "brake fluid low" light came on. Upon Inspection after all the drama, got truck in a safe place, I checked and saw there was no fluid in reservoir. I filled it and pumped brakes a few times and pedal keeps going to floor then eventually it gained pressure..when I checked reservoir again, half of the new fluid was gone and truck was hard to stop again, So I had to tow it home. After taking to a shop I was told the fluid was leaking from master cylinder to the brake booster!! I then searched the internet, and discovered this is a common problem and Ford has a recall for this same exact issue my truck is having..Recall # 16V345000. Ford # 16S24. I then went to dealership to see if I can get fixed and was informed my VIN is not on the recall list and they wont fix. I called ford customer service and was told the same and also to contact NHTSA. So that is what i'm doing now.

Fluid leak, brake light on dash and chime. Possible hydraulic fluid leak feom master cylinder.

lost all of the electrical power to my truck as I was going to drop it off at the dealership for a recall. On my way there my truck downshifted into first gear over revved the motor and caused it to shut the motor down and loss of the computer as well. I had it towed to my local shop. I called Ford to see what they want me to do next and said to have it towed there and I did .Ford cant get power to the truck because there motor is no good. ford also tells me that the oil is way over full. but I know it wasn't over full it holds 6 quarts of oil and I know that.so they state that the oil is over filled and blew the truck up. but the problem is the computer and in that event caused the motor to blow up and push gas and break fluid into the motor truck only has 80,000 miles on it. this I feel as a manufacturers default and frontier ford of Anacortes WA. And ford itself only honors there own techs so they are going by what they say. I have been dealing with this for almost 7 months with out a truck witch has cost me a job and among other issues and loses. feel as they didn't honor or care about the customer or even looking into the dealership that has my truck. when I asked to seek with a supervisor I was told they are no supervisor available and that they would call me back i have still never heard from them. How long must I be without a truck or a jib because they aren't doing there job correctly and making my life here impossible to get a head in such hard time as it is. Thank you [XXX]. L look forward to hearing from you. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

3RD REQUEST UNSATISFIED WITH YOUR LACK OF INTEREST IN FORDS INCOMPLETE RESOLUTION TO EXPANDING THIS HAZARD TO INCLUDE 2013 YEAR MODEL WITH SAME BAD PART ( FORD ) KNOW THIS . IN # 11229625 , 11403034SAME FATORY , SAME TRUCK, SAME PART .... A FEW MONTHS BEFORE RECALL 19S19... THIS COST TO ME WAS $1200 (FORD DEALERSHIP) NOW YOU HAVE A NEW RECALL ON SAME MASTER CYCLINDER ON 2016 TO XXXX MODEL YEARS.... SOMEONE IS NOT ACCURATE WITH THE AMOUNT OF BAD MASTER CYCLINDER OUT THERE THAT ARE A HAZARD TO THE PUBLIC. I WAS BACKING UP IN A STORE PARKING LOT AND THE BRAKES FAILED .I TOWED THE TRUCK TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR REPLACEMENT AND GIVEN THE RUN AROUND

I know how to drive it is not cool to be in trouble for not being able to control a truck that malfunction

I lose all brake pressure driving at certian times. my brakes 100% of the time make this horrible grinding noise and I lose braking power after going from drive to reverse. I always end up getting a check brake system warning message. There is a recall for the vacuum pump and for a seal that is bad but I'm not included since my vehicles manufacturer date is 2/13 and not 8/13. I feel like this is wrong and not fair

I was turning into gas station when I applied brakes to turn, power steering quit working and brakes, luckily there was no one exiting or i would have crashed into them. I was able to muscle steering wheel to make the turn. I then muscled steering wheel to a parking spot where brakes began to work. Dash board read check advance track there were no check engine lights or warning prior to turning. I then shut off vehicle then turned back on and it ran fine but drove with caution. This has happened 2 other times where power steering has feld but came back suddenly but this time on 2/11/22 I had no power steering at all for at least 60 to 70 feet. I have not had a mechanic or dealership look at because I don't know when it will happen its more of a hit and miss. The fact that there's no check engine light or warning lights on I believe any diagnostics would not show anything wrong.

Was stopped at a red light, when my brake pedal suddenly went to the floor and the truck started moving forward toward the car stopped in front of me. Drove around the car and pulled off to the side. Tested it and found the brakes slowly stopped the truck if I pumped them. Got the truck home and found no leaks in any of the brake lines, wheel cylinders or master cylinder. Checked on line and found many others with the same problem; many of whom were not covered in Certain 2013-2014 Model Year Ford F-150 trucks equipped with 3.5L Ecoboost Engines, Brake Master Cylinder Replacement recall #16S24, as mine was also not covered.

Complete loss of braking power resulting in very dangerous driving condition to n way home. Inspection seems to be a leering master break cylinder into booster. Was driving home on highway and came to a stop light, when pressing the brakes my pedal when all the way to the ground with no stopping power to speak of followed by warnings of low break fluid. Had there been another vehicle there present this would have resulted in a very bad incident. Luckily it was late and not may were out there and I was able to use down shifting for engine braking to slow down and get to a stop. This problem came out of no where as I upkeep my vehicle well with servicing and never had a problem

Vehicle accelerated without driver pressing gas pedal and RPM gauge jumped up to 5 (which is red zone). Brake pedal went to the floor when brakes were applied instead of causing the vehicle to stop. Emergency brake was used, and driver lost control of the vehicle resulting in a terrible accident. The crash caused injuries to driver and the death of a bicyclist.

Took vehicle in for recall issue and job not completed according to recall specifications. Break booster will need to be replaced if break cylinder leaks into part.

Vacuum pump and brake booster failure. Same problem and recalls have been issued to other eco boost models in newer and older years.

Loss of Brake fluid, no visible leaks anywhere.

While operating the vehicle, driver experienced complete loss of brake pressure. Brake pedal extended to the floor and offered no stopping power. E-brake was utilized to bring the vehicle to a full stop. Vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis and repair. Tow to a Ford dealer was not possible based on location and distance. Independent mechanic diagnosed a catastrophic failure of the main cylinder causing fluid to leak into the brake booster. This problem has already been addressed in Ford recall notice # 16V345000. This is a known problem with this model year. However, the specific VIN is not included in the recall despite the same parts and components identified in the recall. The incident occurred in a location far from owner's area of residence during off-hours. Additionally, owner was stranded far from area of residence with members of a youth group. Owner has incurred significant costs associated with towing, repairs, and alternative transportation for multiple persons. Circumstances at the time allowed for a safe stop of the vehicle. Had the failure occurred a few minutes earlier or later, the potential for catastrophic injury or death was high.

My problem sounds like this issue: https://www.thecarconnection.com/news/1104150_2013-2014-ford-f-150-recalled-to-fix-brake-fluid-leak-271000-trucks-affected My wife was driving the truck when a low brake fluid warning light came on and the brake pedal went to the floor. She was able to pump the pedal a bit to get the truck to slow down. Luckily she was on a street and not the highway and was able able pull off into a parking lot and coast to a stop. She left the truck there. I went to the truck and added a bottle of brake fluid the next morning. The reservoir looked empty prior to me adding the fluid. I drove the truck 1.9 miles to a garage and had almost no braking power. I kept the truck in a low gear to control speed and had to pump the brakes at stop signs and traffic lights along the way to get it to stop. At one point the brakes weren't working at all and I almost rolled out into a cross street into a passing truck that was going approx 40mph. I kept pumping and came to a stop in the lane and the passing truck was able to swerve around me to avoid a collision. When I got to the garage I checked the reservoir and the brake fluid level had dropped back below minimum on that short drive. The mechanic investigated the issue and told me the master cylinder had a leak and would need to be replaced. It was basically failing. The total for the repairs will be around $750. Thankfully my wife was on a city street and not on the highway when the master cylinder failed. Otherwise this could have ended in disaster. I called Ford and they said my truck was not covered by the recall, even though it was a 2013 Ecoboost with the 3.5L engine and came out of the the Kansas City plant as mentioned in the recall article linked above. I wanted to report it to put it on your radar in case others experience this issue. It seems like a major safety hazard.

Went to leave parking lot and low brake fluid warning light appeared.No brake fluid in master cylinder..repair was replace master cylinder and booster .Fluid drained from master cylinder into booster.This is a recall on 2013 f150 with 3.5 engine but not on the 5.0!!!!!

I was driving on the instate this morning and my brakes totally went out. After I was able to get vechicle stopped I drove slowly to a local shop. I car repair place was the closest one as I was out of town and was pulling a camper trailer. When the mechanic looked at it he said the brake fluid leaked from the reservoir into the brake booster. Result need to replace brake booster and master cylinder. Just like the recall from Ford # 16s24. Although my vin # is not on the recall this is the same issue.

Brake failure master cylinder leaked all fluid in brake booster. No injuries or accident. Lost brakes was able get off road safely.

RECEIVED LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING AND THEN CATASTROPHIC SUDDEN BRAKE LOSS TO THE VEHICLE. I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO SLOW AND STOP THE VEHICLE . MASTER CYLINDER SEAL HAS FAILED AND FILLED BRAKE BOOSTER WITH BRAKE FLUID. VEHICLE WAS IN VERY LIGHT TRAFFIC WHEN FAILURE OCCURRED. I HAVE MADE REPAIRS WITH NEW OEM MOTORCRAFT PARTS TO RESTORE BRAKES. VEHICLE MILEAGE IS 72K MILES. 6.2 V8 2WD. I HAVE RECEIPTS OF MY REPAIRS.

2013 FORD F-150 RECALLED BY FORD IN 2016 UNDER RECALL 16V345000. VEHICLE HAD THE DEFECTIVE HITACHI MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED IN MAY OF 2017 BY JENKINS FORD IN FORT MEADE FLORIDA AT NO CHARGE. ON JULY 30TH 2020 WHILE TRAVELING ON AN INTERSTATE DEPRESSED BRAKE PEDAL, TRAVELLED TO THE FLOOR WITH MINIMAL BRAKING AND BRAKE FLUID LOW LEVEL LIGHT CAME ON WITH WARNING CHIME. REMAINED IN CONTROL TO STOP VEHICLE WITH NO ACCIDENT. VEHICLE TOWED TO BARTOW FORD, DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY MASTER CYLINDER SEAL ALLOWING COMPLETE BYPASS OF BRAKE FLUID INTO THE VACUUM BOOSTER. FORD REFUSED TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR $1282 CLAIMING THEY HAD FIXED THIS PROBLEM IN 2017. UPON INVESTIGATION CONFIRMED THAT THE DEFECTIVE HITACHI MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED WITH ANOTHER IDENTICAL DEFECTIVE HITACHI MASTER CYLINDER. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO TRY TO CORRECT A DEFECT WITH THE IDENTICAL DEFECTIVE PART WHEN THE BRAKING OF A 6000 POUND VEHICLE IS AT STAKE! I JUST SAW ANOTHER RECALL JUST OUT FOR 2015 THRU 2018 F150 WITH THE SAME POORLY DESIGNED SINGLE SEAL MASTER CYLINDER.

BRAKES WHEN IN REVERSE OR FORWARD AT IDLE DO NOT WORK PROPERLY AND TAKE EXTREME PRESSURE TO OPERATE IF THEY OPERATE. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF BRAKING AND BEING UNABLE TO STOP VEHICLE. THIS HAPPENS ANYWHERE I AM AT IDLE. PARKING LOTS, PARKING SPACES, OR ROAD AT STOP SIGNS. THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT WANT TO DEPRESS REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH PRESSURE I APPLY. IT IS MAINLY INTERMITTENT BUT WILL HAPPEN NEARLY EACH TIME IF YOU DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL MULTIPLE TIME IN SHORT SUCCESSION.

ON JUNE 3, 2020, MY SON AND I WERE IN MY 2013 FORD F-150 DRIVING WEST ON I-94. MY SON WAS DRIVING. AN ALARM SOUNDED THEN A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. I DON'T RECALL THE WORDING. WE HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 25 MILES FROM HOME WITH APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES TO OUR DESTINATION. WE CONTINUED ON AND I GOT OUT AND MY SON REMAINED IN THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. HE THEN GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND THERE WAS NO LIQUID UNDER THE TRUCK. I RETURNED TO THE TRUCK AND WE HEADED HOME ON I-696 THEN I-94 WITH NO ISSUES. THE BRAKE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD WAS LIT. WHEN WE EXITED I-94 AT THE MARYSVILLE, MICHIGAN EXIT WE HAD A COMPLETE AND TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. NO BRAKES! MY SON STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FORCEFULLY AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TURN OFF THE EXIT RAMP AND ON TO GRATIOT ROAD. HE RAN THROUGH THE STOP SIGH THERE IN MAKING THE RIGHT TURN ON TO GRATIOT ROAD BUT THANKFULLY NO TRAFFIC WAS RIGHT THERE AT THE SAME TIME. WE DROVE THE ADDITIONAL HALF MILE OR SO TO OUR HOUSE AND PARKED THE TRUCK. WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY. WE THEN DROVE MY SON'S CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND BOUGHT A QUART OF BRAKE FLUID AND POURED IT IN TO THE F-150. AFTER A COUPLE HOURS WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY. THERE WAS NOT A DROP OF FLUID ON THE CEMENT DRIVEWAY UNDER THE TRUCK! WE CALLED MARYSVILLE TIRE AND AUTO, INC. AND DROVE THE TRUCK THE LESS THAN HALF MILE TO THEIR LOCATION. THEY PUT IN A NEW MASTER CYLINDER AT A COST OF $519.04. I CALLED FORD MOTOR OWNER RELATIONS AND MADE A REPORT (CASE #26860820) ON JUNE 19, 2020. RESEARCH SHOWS ME THAT OTHER F-150S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF A MASTER CYLINDER AND I WANT YOU FOLKS TO KNOW OF MY EXPERIENCE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY FLUID LEAKS UNDER MY TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2014. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE STOPPED, WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, IN A PARKING LOT WAITING FOR TRAFFIC TO CLEAR SO I COULD ENTER THE STREET THERE WAS A RATHER LOUD POP SUCH AS A BLOON BURSTING. THE BRAKE PEDDLE BECAME EXTREMELY RIDGED AND THE VEHICLE BEGAN MOVING FORWARD. IT NEARLY CAUSED ME TO CRASH INTO THE CARS AHEAD OF ME. I HAVE BEEN A VEHICLE SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOR NEAR 45 YEARS SO I WAS KEENLY AWARE OF WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDDLE WITH BOTH MY FEET AND MANAGED TO STOP IT. I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALERSHIP SAID THEY COULDN'T REPAIR MY VEHICLE BECAUSE OF ITS MANUFACTURE DATE. I REMOVED THE DEFECTIVE PART AND IT WAS JUST AS THE RECALL ON THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER STATED.

AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I FOUND A RECALL BY FORD WITH RECALL ID 16S24 FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND WHEN I WAS TOLD WHAT NEEDED REPLACED, IT WAS ALMOST WORD FOR WORD WHAT THIS RECALL STATED. I FOUND THIS INFORMATION AFTER I HAD ALREADY GOTTEN THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED SO I CALLED FORD TO SPEAK WITH THEIR RECALL DEPARTMENT. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS ISSUE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL BECAUSE MY TRUCK WAS MANUFACTURED AFTER THE DATE OF WHAT WAS DEFINED IN THE RECALL. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT A TRUCK BUILT IN THE SAME YEAR THAT HAD MASTER CYLINDERS AFFECTED WOULD BE COVERED BY THE RECALL. THIS REPAIR COST $663.57. LOSING BRAKE PRESSURE COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY HAD I BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY OR NEEDING TO COME TO AN ABRUPT STOP.

I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY AT 55 MILES/H PULLING A TRAILER WITH A LIGHT LOAD. THE TRUCK SUDDENLY WENT FROM NORMAL ENGINE SOUND TO A LOUDER AND LOUDER SOUND AND IT SLOWED DOWN AS IF I WAS BEEN DRAGGED BACKWARD. THE ENGINE SOUND FELT LIKE THE TRUCK HAD DOWN SHIFTED FROM A HIGHER TO A LOWER GEAR AND WAS BRAKING ON ITS OWN WHILE I WAS TRYING TO COMPENSATE BY GIVING MORE GAS SO THAT I COULD PULLOVER SAFELY. WITHIN A MINUTE THE TRUCK STOPPED STILL, THERE WAS SMOKE AND FIRE THAT SPREAD RAPIDLY THROUGH THE CABINE AND ENGINE. WE NEARLY ESCAPED. I WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETELY CLEAR THE TRAILER OFF THE ROAD AS THE TRUCK HAD COMPLETELY STOPPED. THE TRUCK BURNED COMPLETELY. BEFORE REPORTING THIS INCIDENT I CALLED FORD, PROVIDED MY VIN NUMBER AND ASKED WHETHER THERE HAD BEEN ANY RECENT RECALLS ON MY F150. FORD CONFIRMED THAT A RECALL (# 19S07) THAT IMPACTED MY VIN WAS ISSUED IN FEB, 2019. HOWEVER, I DO NOT REMEMBER RECEIVING ANY NOTIFICATION FROM MY FORD DEALERSHIP.

TRAVELING 50 MPH ON A 4 LANE ROAD WHEN ENGINE SHUT OFF. HAD POWER TO VEHICLE BUT NO STEERING OR BRAKES. I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE 4 LANE HIGHWAY SUCCESSFULLY. THE TRUCK WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT CRANK, AFTER SITTING 90 MINUTES, IT CRANKED. TOOK TO FORD DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING. THEY SAID IT WAS THE #27 FUSE THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL PUMP. PUT A KIT IN TO MOVE THE #27 FUSE TO AN ISOLATED LOCATION SO IT WOULDN'T GET HOT AND MALFUNCTION. THE COST WAS $250. I ASKED IT THERE WAS A RECALL AND THEY SAID NO. I SAID SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED BECAUSE THIS IS DANGEROUS. THE RESPONSE WAS WE HAVE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF THESE. I WAS LUCKY AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THE NEXT PERSON MIGHT NOT BE AS LUCKY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE IS FATALLY INJURED.

I WOKE UP IN EARLY MORNING TO LEAVE FOR WORK. I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND PUSHED BRAKE PEDAL TO STOP TRUCK AND PUT IT IN DRIVE, BUT THE TRUCK ROLLED DOWN AN HILL AND INTO TREES. WHILE PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT TO THE FLOOR LIKE I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL. THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP TILL IT WAS IN THE TREE. MY BRAKE FLUID IS LOW WHICH IS A SIGN OF THE PROPOSED RECALL WHICH FORD IS DISPUTING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND FORD SAYS THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ALTHOUGH AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, IT SHOWS THEY ARE BEING INVESTIGATED DUE TO THE ISSUES WITH THE BRAKE BOOSTER BOX AND MASTER CYLINDER MALFUNCTIONING. PLEASE HELP US MAKE FORD RECALL THESE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIES. MY TRUCK IS ALSO SHOWING BRAKE FLUID HAS BEEN USED, ITS ABOUT 1/2 FULL NOW.

BRAKE FLUID LEVEL SENSOR CAME ON WHILE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. NO BRAKES AFTER THAT POINT. COASTED OFF THE HIGHWAY, CHECKED FLUID LEVEL, EMPTY. ADDED 20 OZ TO MAX FILL LEVEL, LEAKED OUT INSIDE OF 6 MINUTES. TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, REPLACED BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER UNDER FORD RECALL 16S24. NOT SURE BOOSTER WAS REPLACED. ISSUE IS I CHECK MY FLUID LEVEL EVERY WEEK BEFORE GETTING ON THE HIGHWAY, I KNEW THERE WAS A RECALL ISSUED MARCH 2017, BUT WITH MY FLUID LEVEL STANDING FULL, DIDN'T THINK IT WAS AN ISSUE, I HAD PLANS TO DO THE RECALL IN OCT. THIS IS NOT A SLOW LEAK, THIS IS A FULL ON SEAL FAILURE WITH DRAINING OF THE RESERVOIR INSIDE 6 MINUTES WITH THE TRUCK PARKED. WHEN THAT LIGHT COMES ON, YOU ARE DONE WITH BRAKES. I JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW THIS IS A SUDDEN AND TOTAL LOSS OF FLUID AND NOT JUST A "LEAK". AND THERE ARE NO REAR BRAKES, YOU DON'T JUST LOOSE THE FRONT BRAKES, YOU HAVE ZERO BRAKES. DIDN'T HAVE TO APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP IN THE PARKING LOT OF A GAS STATION.

I CAREFULLY TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER WHO FOUND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS IDENTICAL TO THE FORD RECALL #16S24. HOWEVER FORD SAYS THAT MY VIN IS NOT AMONG THE RECALL LIST, BUT OBVIOUSLY THE RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE MY VEHICLE THAT EXHIBITS THE IDENTICAL RECALL THAT FORD DESCRIBES.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SECOND MECHANIC WHICH WAS ULTIMATELY THE SAME OUTCOME, ADDED FLUID, FLUID DRAINED, NO LEAK AND STILL NO BRAKES. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP WHERE HE TOLD US THAT THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND OUR TRUCK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

WHILE DRIVING SATURDAY MORNING AROUND 7 AM ON MAY 26, 2018 MY BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME INTO THE DASH. WHEN I PRESSED ON MY BRAKES I NOTICED THERE WAS NOT MUCH RESISTANCE WHEN PRESSING THEN THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS FIRST ON RT37 IN RHODE ISLAND HEADING TOWARDS CRANSTON WHEN I NOTICED THE LIGHT AND EXITED IMMEDIATELY WHEN I THEN FOUND THAT MY BRAKES WERE NO LONGER WORKING. PER MY MECHANIC -THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER IS LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER DEPLETING THE BREAK FLUID IN THE PRIMARY RESERVOIR MINIMIZING BRAKING CAPABILITIES. AFTER LEARNING WHAT THE PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK WAS I RESEARCHED ANY RECALLS. PER THE NHTSA THE SAME ISSUE ALREADY RECALLED ON MAY 26 2016 FOR 271000 OF THE SAME TRUCK MAKE MODEL AND YEAR.

2013 FORD F150 PURCHASE 2 YRS AGO WITH 51K IN MILES. THE DEALER HAD INSTALLED NEW BREAKS AND ROTORS. THE OTHER DAY I STARTED HEARING A BAD BREAK NOISE SO I TOOK A LOOK. THE OUTSIDE PADS STILL HAD ENOUGH PAD ON THEM TO SEE. I WAS AWAY FROM HOME FOR THE DAY SO THE NEXT DAY I ORDERED PADS AND ROTORS. FROM THE TIME I LEFT MY HOUSE TAKING NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS TO THE AUTO PARTS STORE TO THE TIME I GOT BACK I WENT FROM BREAK NOISE TO ONLY AN EMERGENCY BREAK. I TAKE OFF THE PASSENGER TIRE TO FIND BRAKE FLUID EVERYWHERE. I OPEN THE HOOD TO SEE THE RESERVOIR EMPTY. I REMOVE THE CALIPER TO FIND THERE IS NO INNER BREAK PAD, NOT EVEN A STEEL PLATE? THE CALIPER PISTON HAD HIT THE ROTOR AND MELTED A BIT. IN ALL MY YEARS I HAVE NEVER SEEN OR HEARD OF A BREAK PAD COMING LOOSE FROM THE HOLDER. I FOUND THE STEEL PLATE THE PAD ATTACHES TO STUCK IN THE SHROUD. GOT IT OUT AND LOOKED AT IT. IT DOESN'T APPEAR TO BE THAT MUCH THINNER THAN A NEW ONE. SO I GET TO LOOKING INTO IT AND READ LOTS OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT EXCESSIVE WEAR ON THE INSIDE FRONT PADS. I ALSO FIND OUT ABOUT A RECALL FOR THE MASTER CYLINDER. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK TOGETHER AND PARK IT. CHECK THE MAIL BOX TO FIND A RECALL NOTICE FOR IT. I GET THE TRUCK INTO THE DEALER AND AM TOLD FORD WILL ONLY COVER THE MASTER CYLINDER. NOW THERE ARE NO NOISE INDICATORS ON THE BRAKE PADS TO TELL YOU OF WARE ANYMORE. AND WHY DID THE PLATE COME OUT OF THE HOLDER. I AM THANKFUL I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY WITH MY GRANDSON. THE TRUCK ONLY HAS 31K MORE MILES ON IT THAN WHEN THE DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES BEFORE. MOST OF THOSE ARE HIGHWAY AND I DON'T HAUL THINGS. I THINK THIS IS A LIFE SAFETY ISSUE AND POOR ENGINEERING.

AFTER PULLING INTO PARKING LOT, AND AT LOW SPEED, I BEGAN TO PRESS MY BRAKE PEDAL DOWN TO COME TO A STOP. I WASN'T STOPPING AND HAD TO USE ALL OF MY WEIGHT ON THE PEDAL TO STOP. ONCE STOPPED, I HAD A NOTIFICATION POPUP THAT READ "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEMS", FOLLOWED BY MY PARKING LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. I TURNED MY TRUCK OFF AND BACK ON, AND THIS TIME, PUSHING THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT LIKE I WAS TRYING TO PUSH A BRICK DOWN. 10 SECONDS LATER I GOT THE "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM" NOTIFICATION, IN ADDITION TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ILLUMINATED. HAD I BEEN ON AN ACTUAL STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED, THIS COULD HAVE ENDED VERY BADLY.

2013 FORD RAPTOR SUPER CREW 27953 MILES. OIL CHANGE 2 MONTHS AGO. OIL LIFE STILL AT 69%. I WENT WITH THE RECOMMENDED FORD MOTOR COMPANY SYNTHETIC AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY OIL FILTER. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ABOUT 10 MINUTES INTO MY DRIVE. I WENT TO TAKE OFF FROM A STOP LIGHT AND I GOT THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND HAD AN IMMEDIATE REDUCTION IN POWER THE TRUCK WAS STUCK AT 1,000 RPMS AND WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING BUT SLOWLY CREEP FORWARD AT 5 MILES AN HOUR. I LIMPED TO A LIGHTED PARKING LOT ABOUT A HALF BLOCK AWAY AS MY LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON AND A WRENCH ICON ON THE DASH. I SHUT IT OFF AND POPPED OPEN THE HOOD. I CHECK MY OIL LEVEL TRANSMISSION FLUID LEVEL POWER STEERING LEVEL AND EVERYTHING WAS WELL ABOVE TOLERANCES. I COULD FIND NO PROBLEMS AND WHEN I GOT BACK IN THE TRUCK AND STARTED IT, IT RAN FINE ALL THE WAY HOME. I JUST SCANNED THE SYSTEM AND NO ERROR CODES. THE STOP LIGHT ROAD WAS AT A SLIGHT DOWNWARD ANGLE AND I HAD JUST BELOW A HALF TANK OF 93 OCTANE FUEL. K AND N AIR FILTER IN STOCK HOLDER. NO OTHER POWER TRAIN OR ENGINE MODIFICATIONS. LOSS OF POWER, POWER STEERING AND DECREASED BRAKING. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN VERY DANGEROUS HAD IT NOT BEEN LATER AT NIGHT.

I WAS SLOWING DOWN AS I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN FINE BUT WHEN I TRIED TO COME TO A COMPLETE HALT THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY FELT SOFT OR LOOSE AND EASILY HIT THE FLOOR BUT VEHICLE DID NOT STOP AND KEPT ROLLING FORWARD SLOWLY. I PUMPED THE BRAKES BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL JUST FELT SOFT AND EASILY HIT THE FLOOR. I MANAGED TO STEER TO AVOID A PEDESTRIAN AND THEN JAMMED TRANSMISSION INTO PARK AND THIS STOPPED VEHICLE. ROAD CONDITION WAS SLIGHTLY WET BUT CLEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING SLOWLY AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. I THEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED ENGINE. THEN I TESTED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THEY WORKED FINE. TOOK VEHICLE TO LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP TO GET CHECKED OUT. THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A SPECIFIC CAUSE FOR THIS BRAKE FAILURE, NO SIGN OF BRAKE OIL LEAK. DEALERSHIP RECOMMENDED REPLACING MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT SAME MODEL, BUT ONLY FOR THOSE TRUCKS BUILT IN AUGUST 2013. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT IN KANSAS CITY FEBRUARY 2013, SO I HAD TO PAY FOR COST OF WORK.

Mileage: 71,000

I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM WHEN I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP ON A CITY STREET. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL APPLYING CONSTANT PRESSURE AND THE VEHICLE WAS SLOWING DOWN. THEN IT FELT AS IF THE BRAKES HAD LOOSENED AND THE CAR WAS NO LONGER SLOWING DOWN. I "PUMPED" THE BRAKE PEDAL (LET UP ON THE PEDAL AND THEN RE-APPLIED PRESSURE) AND I HAD PEDAL PRESSURE AND WAS ABLE TO APPLY BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN. I TESTED THE BRAKES AGAIN AT THE NEXT INTERSECTION AND THEY FELT FINE SO I IGNORED IT THINKING I HAD PROBABLY LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE PEDAL. IT HAPPENED 1 OR 2 OTHER TIMES, AND I ALSO HAD MY WIFE DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO ENSURE IT WASN'T JUST ME. SHE ALSO NOTICED THE ODD FEEL AND BEHAVIOR OF THE BRAKE PEDAL. AT THIS TIME (MAYBE 1 WEEK AFTER FIRST NOTICING THE PROBLEM), I WAS TESTING THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO PUSH THE PEDDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. IT HAD BRAKE PEDAL, BUT IF I KEPT INCREASING THE PRESSURE, IT WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR, BUT WITH SOME RESISTANCE. THINK OF AN AIR MATTRESS AS YOU ARE PUSHING AIR OUT OF IT. THAT IS WHAT IT FELT LIKE. IT WAS AT THIS POINT I TOOK IT INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY CONFIRMED THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS AN EXISTING RECALL ON THE SAME MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR OF MY VEHICLE (INVESTIGATION: PE 16-003, RECALL: 16V-345), BUT ONLY FOR VEHICLES MANUFACTURED AUGUST 1, 2013, TO AUGUST 31, 2014. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN JUNE 2013 AT THE KANSAS, MISSOURI PLANT.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 55 MPH AND MY RED BREAK LIGHT CAME ON. I THEN TAPPED MY BREAKS AND REALIZED MY PEDAL WAS NEARLY FULLY COMPRESSED AND EXTREMELY FIRM TO PRESS. I WAS FORCED TO MASH THE BREAKS TO GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW DOWN AT ALL. I PULLED OVER AND SAT FOR A WHILE, OFF AND ON PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. ABOUT 15 MINUTES LATER I STARTED MY TRUCK AND THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. I DROVE ANOTHER 15 MINUTES HOME WITH NO ISSUE. THE VERY NEXT DAY I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BRIDGE THE EXACT SAME ISSUE OCCURRED, ONCE AGAIN BEING FORCED TO SMASH THE BREAK AND NEARLY CAUSING A WRECK. I REPEATED THE SAME STEPS AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AFTER A FEW MINUTES.

I BOUGHT A NEW F-150 IN 2013. THE FRONT BRAKES BEGAN PULSATING WHEN APPLIED AT 50+ MPH. THE DEALERSHIP TURNED THE ROTORS, CHARGING @ $500. ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER WITH LESS THAN 10,000 ADDITIONAL MILES, SAME PROBLEM. DEALER SAID THIS IS NORMAL AND BRAKES WOULD HAVE TO BE REPAIRED ABOUT EVERY 10,000 MILES. RESEARCH SHOWS THIS PROBLEM TO BE PERVASIVE WITH THE F-150 BECAUSE OF INFERIOR MATERIAL USED IN THE ROTORS.

THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR IS LOSING BRAKE FLUID THAT IS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES. WE WERE INFORMED, BY OUR GOODYEAR SERVICE PROVIDER IN OUR COMMUNITY AS WE DO NOT HAVE A FORD DEALERSHIP, THAT THERE IS A RECALL# 16S24 FOR FORD F-150 2013-2014 TRUCKS WITH THIS SPECIFIC AND EXACT ISSUE OF BRAKE FLUID LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER, HOWEVER OUR TRUCK WAS MADE ON JULY 18 AND THE RECALL DATE IS FOR VEHICLES MADE BETWEEN AUG 1-AUG 31. I FEEL THIS IS A CASE OF COMPLETE NEGLIGENCE ON FORD'S PART, AS OUR VEHICLE IS THE SAME MAKE, YEAR, MODEL AND DISPLAYING THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT THE RECALL IS FOR, YET THEY SAY IT DOES NOT FALL IN THEIR RECALL DETAILS, SO IT IS NOT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY. THEY ARE FULLY AWARE OF THIS EXTREMELY UNSAFE ISSUE WITH OUR VEHICLE, HAVE A RECALL OUT, BUT BECAUSE OURS WAS TECHNICALLY MADE TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE AUG 1ST CUTOFF DATE, THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ASSISTANCE AND IT IS NOW OUR OUT OF POCKET RESPONSIBILITY. I AM COMPLETELY BESIDE MYSELF ON THE NEGLIGENCE AND IRRESPONSIBILITY WE ARE EXPERIENCING AND RECEIVING FROM FORD/THE FORD RECALL DEPARTMENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 10 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS SOFT AND EXHIBITED AN UNEVEN AMOUNT OF PRESSURE. THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AT: GARY SMITH FORD, 1 BEALE PKWY, FORT WALTON, FL, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER TO THE CONTACT.

I STARTED THE TRUCK AND THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT CAME ON. I DROVE TO THE NEAREST REPAIR FACILITY (ABOUT 4.7 MILES) UPON ARRIVAL THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR, AFTER PUMPING THE H$LL OUT OF THEM I BARELY STOPPED BEFORE CRASHING INTO A GROUP OF CARS. COME TO FIND OUT THE MASTER CYLINDER IS BLOWING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE POWER BOOSTER ON EACH PRESS OF THE BRAKES. THIS HAPPENED ALL OF THE SUDDEN AND COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DEADLY IF NOT FOR THE FACT THAT I WAS GOING VERY SLOW TO BEGIN WITH DUE TO TRAFFIC. NOW WHY, AFTER NOT EVEN 30K MILES WOULD THIS CATASTROPHIC FAILURE HAPPEN?

ALSO, ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER, THE BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND "BRAKE FLUID LOW" APPEARED ON THE MESSAGE CENTER. THE CONTACT ADDED 3/4 OF A QUARTER OF BRAKE FLUID, BUT BY THE TIME THE VEHICLE WAS MOVED TO THE PARKING LOT, THE BRAKE FLUID WAS GONE. THERE WERE NO NOTICEABLE LEAKS.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 45 MPH THE BRAKE WARNING NOTICE CHIMED AND LOW FLUID WARNING DISPLAYED IN THE DASH INFORMATION PANEL. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED OFF MAIN ROAD ONTO A SMALLER ROAD AND THEN INTO A PARKING SPOT (TOOK ABOUT 1 MINUTE). JUST AS I PULLED INTO THE PARKING SPACE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK BARELY CAME TO A STOP. FOR THE RECORD, IT IS A CERTIFIED PRE-OWNED 2013 F-150 FX4 ECO-BOOST WITH JUST UNDER 50,000 MILES ON IT. PUZZLED, I POPPED THE HOOD TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID AND FOUND ONLY 1/2 INCH LEFT IN THE RESERVOIR. THIS MADE NO SENSE SINCE I HAD JUST FILLED THE WINDSHIELD FLUID A FEW HOURS EARLIER IN THE MORNING AND NOTICED THAT THE FLUID LEVEL FOR THE BRAKES WAS ABOUT 1/4 INCH BELOW THE MAX FILL LINE. I HAD TO CALL MY WIFE FOR A RIDE TO THE NEAREST AUTO PARTS STORE TO GET BRAKE FLUID. WHILE I WAITED I CHECKED THE ENTIRE TRUCK FOR BRAKE FLUID LEAKS BUT DID NOT FIND ANY. AFTER RETURNING WITH THE FLUID, I FILLED THE RESERVOIR TO THE MAX FILL LINE HOPING THE BRAKES WOULD RETURN TO NORMAL BUT THINKING THERE MIGHT BE A LEAK SOMEWHERE. AFTER STARTING THE TRUCK AND TRYING THE BRAKE PEDAL, I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL STILL ONLY GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THERE IS NO PRESSURE. I HAVE CONCLUDED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER MUST NOT BE WORKING. LUCKY FOR FORD MY 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 10 MONTH OLD SON WERE NOT IN THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME AND ALSO LUCKY THAT I DID NOT HIT ANYONE OR ANYTHING. I AM VERY ANGRY AND ALSO CONCERNED. THIS IS A FAMILY VEHICLE, WORKING BRAKES ARE NOT NEGOTIABLE.

THE RECALL ISSUED WAS LIMITED TO THE 3.5L ENGINE. FROM MY INTERNET RESEARCH THIS RECALLED SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO OTHER MODELS.

BRAKE FAILURE , MASTER CYLINDER, 2013 AND 2014 MODELS WHERE RECALLED BUT THEY SAY THIS VIN WAS NOT IN RECALL, IT NEEDS TO BE BEFORE SOME ONE DIES, WHILE DRIVING WE HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE AND LUCKY WE WERE ONLY GOING 25 MPH AND ABLE TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. 100 YARDS AND WE WOULD HAVE BEEN ON FREEWAY DOING 75 MPH

ON SATURDAY JUNE 10, 2017 I WAS OUT OF TOWN WITH FAMILY IN CARY, NC. WE WERE LEAVING THE HOTEL PARKING LOT THAT MORNING AND WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK AND PUT TRUCK IN REVERSE THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK.. AFTER LOOKING, I SAW THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID. THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND SO I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THE ISSUE COULD BE. I GOT MORE BRAKE FLUID THEN DROVE TO A MECHANIC. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE MECHANIC (1 MILE DOWN THE ROAD) THE BRAKE FLUID WAS GONE AGAIN. AFTER THE MECHANIC LOOKED AT ISSUE, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER FAILED. THEY FOUND THAT THERE WERE NO PARTS AND IT TOOK UNTIL TUESDAY JUNE 13, 2017 TO GET PART AND REPAIR. THINKING THERE MUST BE AN ISSUE SINCE NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE. I FOUND THAT 126 COMPLAINTS WERE REGISTERED REGARDING THE BRAKE BOOSTER ON 2013 FORD F150'S. AFTER CALLING FORD IT WAS DETERMINED THAT MY 2013 FORD F150 WAS NOT ON THE LIST. MY FORD F150 HAD THE EXACT SAME MAJOR ISSUE THAT THE FORD F150'S THAT WERE RECALLED. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING THAT THE BRAKES WENT OUT, ESPECIALLY AFTER WE HAD JUST DROVE THROUGH THE WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS. I HAVE TALKED TO FORD MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. ONLY UNTIL THE PART IS PUT ON THE RECALL LIST FOR MY VIN# WILL FORD DO SOMETHING. I HAVE BEEN TOLD TO KEEP MY RECEIPTS JUST IN CASE IT IS PUT ON THE RECALL LIST. I FIND THIS VERY UPSETTING THAT THE EXACT SAME PART HAD BEEN RECALLED ON OTHER 2013 FORD F150, BUT MY VIN# WAS NOT ON THE LIST. I HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY BAD PROBLEM IF THIS HAPPENED IN THE MOUNTAINS THAT WE HAD DRIVING THROUGH. I HAVE THE PART THAT FAILED AND ALL RECEIPTS. I HOPE THAT THIS COMPLAINT GETS NOTICED AND SOMETHING IS DONE. THANK YOU

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE, CAUSING BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

MY VIN HAPPENS TO NOT BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. IT LOOKS LIKE FORD MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN TO ADD SOME TRUCKS TO THE RECALL. IF YOU ASK ME, IT'S NO COINCIDENCE THAT MY TRUCK WAS PURCHASED WITHIN THE YEARS OF THE RECALL, AND HAD THE EXACT SAME FAILURE AS THE RECALL. UNFORTUNATELY, TOMORROW (JULY 11, 2017) I WILL PAY ~$1050 TO GET THIS FIXED, WHEN IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

I WAS LEAVING WORK, AS I DROVE OFF ONTO THE STREET IN ODESSA, TEXAS THE VEHICLE SEEMED NORMAL FOR 10 MINS. ALL OF SUDDEN THE FIRST BRAKE I TOOK THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AT A STOP SIGN. I PULLED OVER BECAUSE MY BRAKE PEDAL SLID ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR, AS A RESULT OF THIS MY VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO STOP. I GOT OFF THE TRUCK AND CHECKED THE BREAK FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS EMPTY. I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO THE CLOSEST CONVENIENT STORE TO PURCHASE BRAKE FLUID. I BOUGHT TWO CONTAINERS AND POURED INTO THE RESERVOIR AND AS I DROVE OFF, THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE WORKING FOR A LITTLE WHILE AND THE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I DROVE TO THE CLOSEST MECHANIC SHOP; I SPOKE THE MECHANIC AND EXPLAINED TO HIM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. HE CHECKED FOR LEAKS AND DID NOT FIND ANY HE THEN MADE A THOROUGH CHECK INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. HE FOUND THAT THE FLUID WAS ENTERING THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NOT A GOOD SIGN HE STATED. UPON ARRIVAL TO MY RESIDENCE, I LOOKED UP FORD MOTOR RECALLS AND I LEARNED THAT THESE 2013-2014 FORD F150 VEHICLES HAD RECALLS TO REPLACE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS DUE TO BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, HAD TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO FINALLY STOP TRUCK. FOUND OUT THERE IS A RECALL FOR 2013-2014 FORD F-150 FOR THIS PROBLEM, HOWEVER, FORD DID TAKE A REPORT TODAY, BUT, THEY SAID THIS TRUCK WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS MADE ON 9-19-2012 AND THE ONES UNDER THE RECALL #16V345000 WERE BUILT IN 2013. FUNNY THAT THIS IS THE EXACT PROBLEM YET NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THIS RECALL. THE REPAIR INVOLVED REPLACING THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH COST $1193.25. WE WERE LUCKY NO ONE WAS INJURED OR WORSE. JUST HOPE THEY DO A VERY GOOD INVESTIGATION AND HOPE THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE WHO'S VEHICLE WAS BUILT IN 2012. THE OTHER NOTE IS, THE OIL DID NOT LEAK OUT ONTO THE GROUND, SO NO VISIBLE PROBLEM WAS SEEN, THE OIL WENT INTO THE BOOSTER. I TRULY BELIEVE THAT THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER RECALL # 16V345000. - SHARON H., HOMOSASSA, US

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE FLASHED SERVICE ADVANCE TRAC, DOWN HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT, TRAILER BRAKE MODULE FAIL AND A COUPLE MORE CODES. ALL ELECTONICS IN VEHICLE WENT BLANK, INCLUDING ALL CONTROLS/GAUGES. BEFORE DOING SO, LAST CODE READ, SHIFT TO PARK. ALMOST CAUSED ME TO HAVE AN ACCIDENT, BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT AND NEARLY PULLED ME INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE ACCELERATION IS BAD TOO, FEELS LIKE IT IS NOT FIRING ALL CYLINDERS AGAIN. HAVE ALREADY TAKEN IN FOR A NUMBER OF ISSUES, INCLUDING CRANKSHAFT SENSOR ISSUES(WAS LOSING POWER TO DRIVELINE); BRAKES LOCKING UP (HAVE REPLACED THE ROTORS AND PADS SIX TIMES AND LAST TIME I REPLACED BOTH CALIBERS AS WELL; POWER STEERING HAS BEEN REPLACED ONCE BEFORE, FRONT AXLES AND BEARINGS REPLACED. AS WELL AS, AC PROBLEMS. WHEN THE FIRST ISSUES AROSE, I WAS TOLD BY SERVICE TECH AT DEALERSHIP I NEEDED A NEW ENGINE, (LATER HE COMPLETELY DENIED TELLING ME THIS) INSTEAD THEY FIXED SOME THINGS AND GAVE IT BACK TO ME. PROBLEMS HAVE CONTINUED SINCE, LIKE I SAID HAVE TAKEN IT IN AT LEAST 6 TIMES TO A DEALER AND ONCE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. AT FIRST THE PROBLEMS WERE COVERED BY WARRENTY, NOW THEY ARE NOT, THERE IS ONLY 78,000MILES ON THE TRUCK AND HAS BEEN IN SHOP AT LEAST 6 TIMES AND IS ONLY 4 YRS OLD. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, AS THE PROBLEMS RESEMBLE RECALL ISSUES, BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS THEY AREN'T PART OF ANY RECALLS. CONCERNED FOR MY SAFETY ON THE ROAD.

THE RIGHT FRONT BREAK KEEPS OVER HEATING EVEN AFTER REPEATED REPLACEMENT OF CALIPERS ROTORS AND PADS. THE SYSTEM LOCKED UP AND CAUSED HEAT DAMAGE TO THE FLEXIBLE LINE CONNECTING THE METAL LINE TO CALIPER AND ALL BREAK COMPONENTS. THIS OCURRED LESS THAN 5000 MILES AFTER COMPLETE BREAK REPLACEMENT ON ALL TIRES. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE DRIVER FRONT STILL HAD 99% OF ITS PAD. AFTER REPLACING ALL COMPONENTS IT DID IT AGAIN IN LESS THAN 100 MILES. THE SHOP REPLACED THE CALIPER AND PADS SAYING THAT IT MUST HAVE BEEN A BAD CALIPER BUT NEW ONE ALREADY TO HOT TO TOUCH AFTER ONLY 50 MILES. THEIR \MUST BE A PRESSURE PROBLEM AS THE DRIVER SIDE IS COOL TO THE TOUCH AND PASSENGER SIDE YOU CAN FEEL THE HEAT AT HOOD LEVEL. THE TRUCK WAS MADE 2-13 DEARBORN PLANT.

1ST OCCURRENCE I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN, MODERATE TRAFFIC AND I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WAS ROCK SOLID AND I COULD BARELY SLOW THE VEHICLE WITH BOTH FEET PRESSING AS HARD AS I COULD AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON. I TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF THEN WHEN I RESTARTED SEVERAL MINUTES LATER, THE ISSUE WENT AWAY. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER, I RECEIVED THE BRAKE BOOSTER RECALL NOTICE AND TOOK THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AT THE LOCAL DEALER. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AFTER THE BOOSTER RECALL REPAIR I HAD THE SAME ISSUE ON A RURAL ROAD NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER IMMEDIATELY WITH ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND ISSUE STILL OCCURRING. THE FORD DEALER SAID IT NEEDED THE VACUUM PUMP REPLACED SO I TOLD THEM TO GO AHEAD, THEY CHARGED APPROXIMATELY $360 FOR THE REPAIR. YESTERDAY, AFTER TURNING OFF OF A RURAL ROAD TO A MORE DEVELOPED SHOPPING AREA, I LOST BRAKING FUNCTION WITH THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS PREVIOUSLY DESCRIBED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO DECELERATE. I AGAIN PARKED THE VEHICLE, TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND AFTER ABOUT 30 MINUTES, THE BRAKES WERE WORKING AGAIN.I HAVE MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER TO HAVE THIS DIAGNOSED AGAIN IN 2 DAYS. THANK GOODNESS MY THIS HASN'T OCCURRED WHILE TOWING MY BOAT. THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED IN BOTH CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING AND ALWAYS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. ONLY ONCE DID THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON BEFORE LOSS OF BRAKING. THE ISSUE DID NOT OCCUR WHILE TURNING. *TR

DRIVING HOME FROM A CAMPING TRIP WITH MY SON, I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AT THE SAME TIME THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. MY TRUCK DID NOT STOP, TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT, I HAD TO SLOW MY TRUCK USING MY PARKING BRAKE, AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PROCEDURE.

I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THEM FIX THE ISSUE.

BEFORE I LEFT MY HOUSE I FOUND NO WET BRAKES OR FLUID IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR ON THE GROUND. I WAS TOLD THE SAME BY THE MECHANIC. I CALLED MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND TOLD HIM OF THE ISSUE AND HE STATED BECAUSE I WAS OUTSIDE MY WARRANTY (45000 MILES) IT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN COVERED. HE MADE NO MENCHIN OF THE POSSIBLE BRAKE ISSUES.

I REMEMBER MY BRAKES DEPRESSING COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR BOARD , YET AS THOUGH THERE WAS NO AIR LINES. IT HAS BEEN A LONG RECOVERY, WHICH IS WHY CERTAIN THINGS ARE RETURNING SLOWLY.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR WAS CHECKED AND HAD VERY LITTLE FLUID. BRAKES WERE ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I CALLED ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER FOUND THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED BACK INTO THE BOOSTER AND BOTH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER HAD TO BE REPLACED.

I REFILLED THE RESERVOIR AND WAS ABLE TO RESTORE PRESSURE BY PUMPING THE BRAKES. A FEW MINUTES BEFORE TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE, I WAS IN MOTION IN AN URBAN AREA, TOWING A BOAT EQUIPPED WITH SURGE BRAKES. I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN A STEEP HILL COULD FEEL THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELLING CLOSER TO THE FLOOR. I'VE HAD NO PROBLEMS SINCE BUT ROUTINELY CHECK THE BRAKE RESERVOIR TO ENSURE THERE IS SUFFICIENT BRAKE FLUID I DIDN'T REPORT IT UNTIL NOW, WHEN I HEARD THAT OTHER F150 OWNERS HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM.

YESTERDAY WHEN I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND STARTED IT THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL INSTANTLY WENT TO THE FLOOR LEAVING THE TRUCK WITH NO BRAKES. I GOT OUT AND CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR LEVEL AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY BUT, THERE WAS NO LEAKS ANYWHERE, THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO GET FIXED. I DISCUSSED IT WITH JOE AND UPON EXPLORING THIS FURTHER JOE CAME ACROSS THE ATTACHED ARTICLE AND IT TURNS OUT THIS SUDDEN TOTAL LOSS OF BREAKS HAS HAPPENED TO SEVERAL OTHER F150 TRUCK AND ARE BEING INVESTIGATED.

I PURCHASED MY TRUCK ON JANUARY 6TH, 2016. I NOTICED THE SOFT PEDAL ON MY TEST DRIVE, AND THE DEALER SAID THEY WOULD BE HAPPY TO FIX THE ISSUE AT NO CHARGE TO ME, SO I MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE BRAKES SERVICED. THEY REPLACED THE FRONT PADS, AND CUT THE ROTORS, REPLACED THE REAR PADS AND ROTORS. MY BRAKES WERE WORSE. I EXPLAINED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS TO THE FLOOR. EVEN IF YOU "PUMP" THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WILL STILL CONTINUE TO GO TO THE FLOOR. UNDER NORMAL, GRADUAL BRAKING, THE IS EXCESSIVE TRAVEL BEFORE THE BRAKES START TO GRAB. UNDER A "PANIC STOP", THE PEDAL WILL GO RIGHT DOWN WITH POOR RESPONSE. AFTER 3 MORE TRIPS, THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, ABS MODULE, ALL FOUR PADS, REAR ROTORS, AND BLED THE SYSTEM. NO IMPROVEMENT HAS BEEN ACHIEVED, AND THEY HAVE SINCE SAID THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING MORE FOR ME.

I AM THE OWNER OF A 2013 FORD F150 CREW CAB. MAY I SAY THAT THE BRAKES ON THIS VEHICLE ARE AT BEST SKETCHY, AT WORSE DANGEROUS. I HAVE EXPERIENCED ROUGH STOPS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND HAD TO HAVE THEM ATTENDING TO BY TECHNICIANS MORE THAN ONCE. THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN TURNED, BUT THE STUTTERING STOPS PERSIST. THEY TELL ME THAT NOTHING CAN BE DONE UNTIL I CHANGE THEM AND THAT DOESN'T SIT WELL WITH ME. WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY TO GET WHAT I FEEL ARE DEFECTIVE BRAKES FIXED?

THE 2013 FORD F-150 WILL INTERMITTENTLY RIDE WITH THE BRAKES ENGAGED. WHEN LETTING OFF THE GAS PEDAL IT WILL QUICKLY COME TO A STOP (BOTH ON THE HIGHWAY AND URBAN ROADS). BRAKE PADS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE (@ 55,000 MILES) AND I HAVE NOTICED A CONSIDERABLE DROP IN THE CALCULATED MILES PER GALLON SINCE OBSERVING THE ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT IT WAS WORKING PROPERLY. THEY DID NOT HOOK IT UP TO ELECTRONICALLY TO PERFORM AN ADVANCE DIAGNOSIS. THEY INSTRUCTED ME TO BRING IT BACK WHEN IT ACTS UP AGAIN. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET THE VEHICLE TO "DISENGAGE THE BRAKES" WHILE DRIVING IS TO COME TO COMPLETE STOP, ENGAGE 4WD, DRIVE A FEW HUNDRED FEET, THEN PLACE THE TRUCK BACK INTO 2WD. THIS WOULD NORMALLY RESET THE BRAKING. APPEARS TO HAPPEN IN COLDER TEMPERATURES. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKE PEDAL OCCASIONALLY (EVERY SIX MONTHS) WILL HAVE A GRINDING PULSATING VIBRATION LASTING SEVERAL MINUTES. THE BRAKES DID NOT GO OUT BUT IT FEELS AS IF METAL ON METAL IS GRINDING WHICH CREATES AN UNUSUAL AND ALARMING CIRCUMSTANCE.

Mileage: 20,000

3 WEEKS AGO, THE FRONT BRAKES ON MY '13 F150 BEGAN VIBRATING FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AT SLOWER SPEEDS AND DID NOT FEEL LIKE THEY WERE RELEASING AT ALL AFTER BRAKING. THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE BRAKES WERE STILL COOL AND IN ALL CONDITIONS, DRY, SNOW AND RAIN. THE TRUCK HAD BARELY 40K MILES SO I TOOK IT TO BRAKES PLUS AND THEY SAID THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE COMPLETELY FALLING APART; DISINTEGRATING THEY SAID. I HAD THEM INSTALL NEW BRAKES ($275) AND THE VIBRATION WENT AWAY FOR 2 WEEKS, BUT STARTED UP AGAIN. IT COULD BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND APPEARED TO BE KEEPING THE VEHICLE FROM ACCELERATING. I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP (LARRY H MILLER FORD, LAKEWOOD, CO) WHERE I HAD PURCHASED IT USED ABOUT 8 MOS PRIOR. I HAD THE COVERAGE OF AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO 48K MILES. THEY SAID THEY INSPECTED THE BRAKES AND DROVE IT AND COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH, THE VIBRATION IS COMPLETELY GONE NOW AND IT'S BEEN ABOUT 3 WEEKS?? I AM CONVINCED THEY DID SOMETHING TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOW WANT TO TELL ME WHAT THEY FOUND. ESPECIALLY IF IN THE FUTURE THE CALIPERS, MASTER CYLINDER, OR SOMETHING ELSE MAJOR ON THE BRAKES WAS GOING TO FAIL.

TOTAL BRAKE SYSTEM FAILURE AS I WAS DRIVING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS. WITHOUT WARNING, WITHIN ONE BLOCK VEHICLE WENT FROM HAVING FULLY FUNCTIONAL BRAKES TO TOTAL BRAKE LOSS. PREVIOUS TO FAILURE, VEHICLE EXHIBITED NO HANDLING ISSUES, SOUNDS, OR SYMPTOMS TO INDICATE THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH WHEN I TOUCHED THE BRAKES. WITHOUT WARNING A LOUD, HIGH PITCHED SOUND STARTED COMING FROM THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE SOUND LASTED ABOUT 5 SECONDS. WHEN THE SOUND ENDED, THE BRAKES DID NOT FUNCTION AND WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT RESISTANCE. ALL REGULARLY SCHEDULED AND RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE HAD BEEN PREFORMED. AS A RESULT OF BRAKE FAILURE, VEHICLE SUSTAINED DAMAGE TO PASSENGER SIDE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AVIS FORD DEALERSHIP PREFORMED THE REPAIRS. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF THEY WERE AWARE OF ANY SIMILAR ISSUES HAVING BEEN REPORTED AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE UNAWARE OF SUCH SIMILAR REPORTS.

ON 24 DEC 2013 AT 2:15 PM I HAD TO BRAKE HARD TRYING TO AVOID A CAR COMING ACROSS MY PATH IN A PARKING LOT (THERE WAS A RESULTING ACCIDENT WITH NO INJURIES, BUT DAMAGE TO THE OTHER VEHICLES FRONT FENDER). I WASN'T MOVING VERY FAST LESS THAN (10MPH) AND INSTEAD OF JUST GRABBING THE BRAKES THE TRUCK SHUDDERED VIOLENTLY BEFORE THE BRAKES ACTUALLY GRABBED. I'VE NOTICED THIS ON SEVERAL OTHER OCCASIONS. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS EXPECTED BEHAVIOR WITH THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKES, BUT I'M CONVINCED I COULD HAVE MANUALLY STOPPED THE TRUCK FASTER.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE WITH MY WIFE AND TWO YOUNG BOYS HEADING TO BASEBALL PRACTICE, I LOST ALL BRAKE PRESSURE AND HAD A DIFFICULT TIME BRINGING THE CAR TO A HALT. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS IN THE SHOP, THE SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED ME THE MASTER CYLINDER LOST ALL ITS FLUID WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS ~16 MONTHS OLD AND HAD ~37,000 MILES (JUST BARELY OUT OF WARRANTY). THE DEALERSHIP WAS ABLE TO FIX IT AFTER SEVERAL DAYS AND ONLY CHARGED $100 AS IT WAS CLOSE TO BEING IN WARRANTY AND SEEMED LIKE A HIGHLY UNUSUAL EVENT. I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT OTHER THAN A ONE OFF FLUKE BUT SAW AN ARTICLE THIS MORNING THAT OTHERS HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE HAD NO OTHER ISSUES SINCE THE RESOLUTION BUT OBVIOUSLY CONCERNED IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN WITHOUT WARNING IF ITS A SYSTEMIC PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKING SYSTEM.

I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR A LITTLE OVER TWO YEARS AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE MY FRONT BREAKS AND ROTORS REPLACED 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME BEING WITHIN THE FIRST MONTH OF PURCHASE OF MY VEHICLE. FORD DID THE FIRST REPLACEMENT FOR FREE, BUT I HAVE PAID FOR THE REST. THE ROTORS SHOW UNUSUAL WEAR AND WARPING EVERY TIME. EVEN WITH NEW ROTORS AND PADS THE BREAKS ARE SQUEEKY AND JERKY. THIS HAS NOT CAUSED ME AN ACCIDENT YET, BUT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKES EVERY 20 TO 25 THOUSAND MILES OTHERWISE I FEEL LIKE THEY WOULD HAVE FAILED.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING. THE VEHICLE HAS A 5.0L V8 ENGINE. I WAS APPROACHING A LEFT TURN AND APPLIED PRESSURE TO MY BRAKE PEDAL AND LOST BRAKING AT THAT POINT. VERY LOW MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE WHEN IT FAILED, 14,813.

SO I JUST HARDLY EVER DRIVE IT UNLESS I HAVE TO IT NORMALLY STOPS EXCEPT THOSE THREE TIMES IT HASN'T I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT COULD BE THE MECHANICS THAT FIXED IT BACK AFTER IT WAS WRECKED SAID EVERYTHING WAS OKAY. ALL THREE TIMES WE WERE ACCELERATING AND HAD TO STOP ABRUPTLY. MY WIFE WRECKED IT ONCE AND I TWICE. THE SECOND TIME I WRECKED IT WAS NOT 24 HOURS AFTER I GOT IT BACK FROM THE BODY SHOP AFTER MY WIFE WRECKED IT. SOMETHING HAS TO BE WRONG BUT IT WORKS MOST OF THE TIME.

STARTED 2 WEEKS AGO IT WAS A COLD 20 DEGREE MORNING AND MY BRAKE LIGHT / PARKING BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON. A LITTLE LATER IT WAS OFF AND THOUGHT IT MUST BE A SWITCH. SHORT WHILE LATER IT WAS ON AND OFF AND ON OVER AND OVER. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND FOUND IT TO BE BETWEEN THE MAX AND MIN LEVELS. I HAVE PUT MORE IN SINCE THEN. THE TRUCKS BRAKING FOR THE MOST PART SEEMS OK BUT HAVE NOTICED AT TIMES IN TOWN THE PEDAL DOES SINK SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN NORMAL. NOW I HAVE SEE THIS PROBLEM AND IT MAKES SINCE ITS HAVING SYMPTOMS SIMILAR TO WHAT OTHERS ARE COMPLAINING OF. IT IS A 2013 F-150 FX4 3.5 EBOOST. I HOPE FORD TAKES THIS SERIOUS I I'LL BE TAKING THIS TO THE FORD DEALER HERE LOCAL TO ME AND HAVING IT LOOKED AT. THIS PROBLEM MAKES ME NERVOUS DOES FORD EVEN OFFER A UPDATED PART THAT WON'T BREAK DOWN AGAIN IF I HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED? NOTICED IF I'M PARKED ON. ON A HILL FACING DOWN THE HILL THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF BUT FLAT OR ANY OTHER POSITION LIGHT COMES OFF AND ON ALSO BRAKE FLUID IS DOWN LITTLE BIT AGAIN.

ON JULY 6,2015 I CAME OUT OF THE GYM ENTERED MY TRUCK ,TURNED IT ON THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PEDDLE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR,LUCKILY I WAS PARKED AND NOT DRIVING WHEN IT HAPPENED OR THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT. I CALLED MY DEALER THEY SENT A TOW TRUCK, OUT TO PICK UP MY VEHICLE. BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW IT HAD LEAKED INTERNALLY FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE VACUUM LINE THEN INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW THAT IT IS HAPPENING.MY TRUCK IS AN ECO BOOST V6 AND IT IS NOW MARCH AND I AM TAKING MY TRUCK BACK IN AS SON AS I CAN GET AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE OF THE FRONT BRAKES GRINDING AND SQUEEZING, MAKING NOISE WHEN I COME T A STOP. MY VEHICLE ONLY HAS 27,000 PLUS MILES. THE BRAKE FAILING HAPPENED AT 22,000 PLUS MILES. I HAVE THE INVOICE AND WORK ORDER IN MY POSSESSION WHEN AND IF IT IS NEEDED . I 'M AS I STATED EARLIER WAS LUCKY I WASN'T MOVING .MY ONLY DISPLEASURE WAS THAT I HAD TO RENT A CAR FOR 2 DAYS OR STAY HOME ,SO EVEN THOUGH THEY DIDN'T CHARGE ME I STILL PAID OVER 200.00 FOR A RENTAL CAR.

DEALER STATED "BOOSTER WAS FULL OF BRAKE FLUID" AND REPLACED BOOSTER PUMP AND MASTER CYLINDER. I HAVE NOTED OTHER ONLINE COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME FAILURE ON THIS SAME MODEL AND YEAR OF TRUCK. I FEEL AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE OPENED DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE NATURE OF THIS TYPE OF FAILURE.

ON 5/1/15, WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AS I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, AND THERE WAS NO STOPPING POWER. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PUMP THE BRAKE AND USE THE PARKING BRAKE, MY VEHICLE CROSSED THE STREET, WENT UP THE CURB, AND STRUCK MY NEIGHBOR'S LANDSCAPE WALL, DAMAGING IT SEVERELY. TOTAL DISTANCE TRAVELLED WAS APPROXIMATELY 2.5 TRUCK LENGTHS BEFORE IMPACTING THE NEIGHBOR'S WALL. UPON INSPECTION BY MYSELF AND LATER MY INSURANCE INVESTIGATOR, THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY, BUT THERE WERE NO OBVIOUS SIGNS OF LEAKAGE. NO PUDDLES OR VISIBLE BRAKE FLUID. TRUCK WAS TOWED TO LOCAL DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS 'BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO LEAK FAULTY BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER'. WITHIN A FEW DAYS, THE BRAKES AGAIN DID NOT FEEL RIGHT WITH A STRANGE PEDAL FEEL. GRADUALLY, THE WORSENING PEDAL FEEL WAS ACCOMPANIED BY A METALLIC SCRAPING OR GRINDING NOISE. A SECOND TRIP TO A DEALER REVEALED A FAILED BRAKE BOOSTER DUE TO BRAKE FLUID INGESTION, WHICH ALSO EXPLAINED WHY THERE WAS NO VISIBLE EVIDENCE OF A LEAK AFTER THE CRASH. THE BRAKE BOOSTER OPERATES AT A VACUUM, SO AS THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED CATASTROPHICALLY, THE BOOSTER SUCKED IN THE FLUID, CAUSING IT TO ULTIMATELY FAIL AS WELL. BOTH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER WERE REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM SURPRISED THAT THERE AS BEEN NO ACTION ON THIS ISSUE YET - THE COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM OF A 2.5+ TON VEHICLE - AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS NEARLY IDENTICAL FAILURE MODES WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. I TRULY HOPE NOBODY IS KILLED BY THIS; IT WAS TRULY TERRIFYING TO BE WITHOUT BRAKES WHILE MOVING IN REVERSE IN A MASSIVE VEHICLE.

ON MY WAY WORK WHEN MY "CHECK BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED, EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL BUT AS I WAS DRIVING I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO FEEL MUSHY AND AS I CONTINUED DRIVING AT 55 MILES PER HOUR I WAS COMING UP TO A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND AS I TRIED TO DECELERATE BY PRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOORBOARD AND I WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN, BUT 5 MINUTES PRIOR MY BRAKES WORKED FINE. I HAD TO SHARPLY VEER OF TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID SLAMMING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT WAS SLOWING DOWN, DRIVING OVER THE CURB AND HAVING TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT AND UTILIZING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID CRASHING INTO A PARKED BUS. AS I HAVE BEEN READING THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND A VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, I AM THANKFUL THAT I DID NOT HAVE MY DAUGHTER IN THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME AND AM VERY LUCKY THAT NOBODY WAS HURT OR GOD FORBID WORSE. THE F-150 WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND AMAZINGLY THE SERVICE REP TOLD ME WHAT WAS WRONG BEFORE EVEN LOOKING AT THE TRUCK WHICH TELLS ME THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. JUST LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE HERE THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED TOO, WHEN I CHECK MY BRAKE FLUID, GO FIGURE IT WAS EMPTY EVEN THOUGH IT WAS SERVICED ABOUT A MONTH AGO. THE TRUCK HAS 32,000 MILES ON IT. FORD NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. VERY, VERY DANGEROUS

RAPID LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID WHILE DRIVING RESULTING IN BRAKE FAILURE. WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. ADDING NEW FLUID RESULTED IN IMMEDIATE LOSS OF FLID.

TRAVELLING AT 60 MPH ON INTERSTATE 5 SOUTH BOUND AT 0445 HRS I OBSERVED BRAKE LIGHTS APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE AHEAD. AS I APPLIED BRAKES THE PEDAL WAS SPONGY AND BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC THE BRAKES FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT FREEWAY BY DOWN SHIFTING AND USING EMERGENCY BRAKE.I GOT TO A LOCAL RETAILER AND PURCHASED 1 12 OZ BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID AND PUT IT IN THE EMPTY RESERVOIR. AFTER PUMPING THE BRAKES I CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN. I PURCHASED 2 MORE 12 OZ BOTTLES AND ADDED THEM TO THE RESERVOIR. PUMPED THE BRAKES AND EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE. DECIDED TO GO HOME (SLOWLY) INSTEAD OF WORK. AFTER ABOUT 15 MILES THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT COMES BACK ON. PULLED OVER AND BOUGHT TWO MORE 12 OZ BOTTLES TO PUT INTO MY NOW EMPTY RESERVOIR. DROVE 7 MILES TO MY HOME AND THE LOW WARNING COMES BACK ON. OPENED THE HOOD TO CHECK BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND ONCE AGAIN IT IS EMPTY. LOOKED THROUGH ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND THE UNDERSIDE OF MY TRUCK AND THERE ARE NO VISIBLE FLUID LEAKS. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM TO LIFE AND LIMB. I SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE YET NOTHING AS FAR AS I CAN TELL IS BEING DONE ABOUT IT. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE INJURED OR KILLED? 60 OZ OF BRAKE FLUID JUST TO DRIVE 22 MILES SAFELY IS NOT REASONABLE BY ANY STRETCH OF THE IMAGINATION. FORTUNATELY MY WIFE OR ONE OF MY CHILDREN WEREN'T USING MY TRUCK WHEN THIS HAPPENED OR THE OUTCOME COULD HAVE BEEN VERY DIFFERENT. WAITING TO HEAR BACK FROM MY LOCAL DEALER.

I LOOKED BACK AT THE DASHBOARD TO SEE IF THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED, IT WAS NOT. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED (NEW) IT TWO YEARS PRIOR, GOSCH FORD IN HEMET, CA. THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN SAID THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WERE BAD AND THAT THE FLUID HAD LEAKED BACK INTO THE BOOSTER. SINCE THE TRUCK WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, THE ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR WOULD BE $800. THE TRUCK HAS 36,443 MILES (443 MILES OVER THE BASIC WARRANTY FOR BRAKES). AS A SMALL BUSINESS OWNER, THE TRUCK IS USED TO TOW MY EQUIPMENT TRAILER NECESSARY FOR WORK. WITHOUT THE TRUCK, I DONT WORK AND MY BUSINESS SUFFERS. THE DEALERSHIP REFUSED TO SUBMIT THIS TO FORD FOR WARRANTY WORK STATING FORD IS VERY FIRM ON THIS ISSUE; EVEN ONE MILE OVER 36,000 WOULD BE REFUSED. I APPROVED THE REPAIRS SINCE I NEED THIS VEHICLE FOR MY LIVELIHOOD. AN HOUR LATER, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT CALLED SAYING THERE IS A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER ON THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER (GO FIGURE), AND THE PARTS WOULDNT BE AVAILABLE FOR 5 WEEKS! SO, MY TRUCK (THE TRUCK I PURCHASED NEW TO ENSURE DEPENDABILITY, SAFETY AND RELIABILITY) SITS AT THE DEALERSHIP WAITING FOR THE REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR AN APPARENT COMMON BRAKE FAILURE PROBLEM. SINCE THEY ARE REPLACING THE DEFECTIVE PARTS WITH NEW (HOPEFULLY NOT DEFECTIVE) PARTS, I WILL CRINGE EACH TIME I STEP ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. AN INTERNET CHECK OF THIS PROBLEM REVEALED OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME SITUATION. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL? THIS IS A HUGE BRAKE FAILURE ISSUE.

MY FAMILY AND I WERE PREPARING TO PULL OUT OF A CRODED PARKING LOT AS WE WERE LEAVING A BASEBALL TOURNAMENT.MY HUSBAND ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE TRUCK INTO DRIVE AND AS HE SHIFTED, THE TRUCK LUNGED BACKWARD AS HE HAD NO BRAKES TO STOP THE VEHICLE. HE HAD TO THROW IT INTO P TO STOP.A MOTHER AND HER SON WERE WALKING NEAR THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME, MY HUSBAND WAS QUITE UNNERVED.HE TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF AND WENT TO A LOCAL STORE FOR BRAKE FLUID IN ORDER TO DRIVE HOME.HE TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALER WHERE THEY HAD DISCOVERED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED.THERE WAS NO WARNING TO THIS ISSUE.OUR TRUCK ONLY HAS 44,000MILES AND IS 2 YEARS OLD.THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE USED TO TRANSPORT OUR CHILDREN, NOT TO HAUL OR TOW THINGS.I RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND CONTACTED FORD AFTER REALIZING THAT OUR TRUCK WAS NOT THE ONLY TRUCK WITH THIS ISSUE. I SPOKE WITH REGIONAL MANAGER RANDY COPELAND REGARDING THE ISSUE AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS THAT THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE.AN ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM SHOULD NEVER FAIL UNLESS IT WAS FAULTY, ESPECIALLY ON A NEWER VEHICLE.I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF LIVES IF IT IS NOT ADDRESSED.I WAS TOLD TO WORRY ABOUT MY OWN VEHICLE.I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO KEEP CONVERSATION PROFESSIONAL, I WAS UPSET AT THE FACT THAT HE DISMISSED THE SERIOUSNESS OF NO BRAKES.MY CONCERNS FELL ON DEAF EARS.I WANT FORD TO REALIZE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE.MR. COPELAND ALSO COULD NOT ANSWER MY QUESTION- WHAT WOULD FORD HAVE DONE IF MY HUSBAND WOULD HAVE BACKED OVER THIS MOTHER AND HER SON.I WANT FORD TO RECOGNIZE THIS PROBLEM AND TAKE ACTION BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR LIVES ARE LOST.

WHILE DRIVING ON FREEWAY A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DASH. I TESTED BRAKES AND THEY FELT OK AT THAT POINT. AFTER DRIVING SEVERAL MORE MILES THE BRAKE PEDAL TOOK MORE PRESSURE TO SLOW DOWN THE VEHICLE AND BY THE TIME I STOPPED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS EMPTY. I FOUND NO BRAKE FLUID LEAKING UNDER THE VEHICLE. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH NEW BRAKE FLUID AND AFTER DRIVING 5 MILES THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I STOPPED AND CHECKED THE RESERVOIR AND IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN. AFTER FILLING THE RESERVOIR AGAIN I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A FORD DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND LEAKED THE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER UNIT AND CAUSED IT TO FAIL AS WELL. THE SERVICE ADVISER SAID THEY HAD 3 OTHER F-150 TRUCKS COME IN WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. THE FIX IS TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER UNIT WITH NEW PARTS. HE CLAIMS THE NEW PARTS HAVE BEEN RE-ENGINEERED TO FIX THE ISSUE. I CHECKED THE INTERNET FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH AT LEAST 2011, 2012, 2013 FORD F-150 TRUCKS, SOME NEVER RECEIVED THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT BEFORE THE BRAKES FAILED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE AS THE BRAKES BECOME UNUSABLE WHEN THIS OCCURS. I TOW A LARGE TRAILER ON SOME STEEP GRADES AND THIS COULD BE A DISASTROUS ISSUE AS YOU CAN IMAGINE. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD DEFINITELY TRIGGER AN IMMEDIATE RECALL TO FIX THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE.

WHENEVER AT A STOP IN TRAFFIC, THE BRAKE PEDAL DRIFTED TO THE FLOOR CAUSING LOSS OF BREAKS RESULTING IN STRIKING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME.

OWNER DRIVING POV ENTERING INTERSTATE VIA ONRAMP AT APPROX. 60MPH WHEN CHECK BRAKE LIGHT APPEARED. OWNER CONTINUED INTO TRAFFIC AND REACHED SPEED OF APPROX. 70MPH WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWED. OWNER PUSHED BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY TO FLOOR WITH NO SLOWING OCCURRING. OWNER PUMPED BRAKES NUMEROUS TIMES, DOWNSHIFTED AND UTILIZED EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID COLLISION GOING ONTO SHOULDER OF INTERSTATE. BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY, NO EVIDENCE OF A LEAK FOUND ON UNDERCARRIAGE. OWNER PUT MORE BRAKE FLUID IN AND WAS ABLE TO GET POV HOME VIA SLOW SPEED, DOWNSHIFTING AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. BRAKE RESERVOIR ONCE AGAIN EMPTY. AFTER RESEARCH ONLINE REGARDING MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE, OWNER REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKES ARE WORKING WITHOUT ISSUE.. THIS INCIDENT COULD HAVE OBVIOUSLY ENDED WITH SOMEONE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. POV WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY WITH APPROX. 48,000 MILES SO ALL REPAIRS WERE AT OWNERS EXPENSE.

I REPLACED MY BREAKS (ALL OF THEM FRONT AND REAR) IN AUGUST OF 2014. NOT EVEN ONE YEAR OF OWNING THE VEHICLE AND ONLY ABOUT 13,000 MILES. THEY WOULD SHUDDER AND SHAKE WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. FORD TOLD ME IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND IT AS "NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR." FAST FORWARD, JULY OF 2015. THE BREAKS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. SHUDDERING AND SHAKING. I AGAIN TAKE IT INTO FORD, AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THE ROTORS ARE CRACKED AND I AM GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THEM. WITHIN A YEAR AND NOW AT ONLY 27,000 MILES. THEY ASKED ME IF I TOW A LOT OR HEAVY ITEMS. I TOLD THEM I HAVE NEVER TOWED ANYTHING AND ONLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE 3 DAYS PER WEEK. FORD HAD NO EXPLANATION OF HOW IT COULD HAVE HAPPENED; HOWEVER, AGAIN IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. BREAKS/ROTERS ARE NOT COVERED! AT 13,000 AND AT 27,000 THERE IS NO REASON ANY BREAKS OR ROTERS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I OWNED A 2002 FORD F-150 AND DID NOT NEED BREAKS UNTIL 70,000 MILES. THERE IS A PROBLEM!

TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. STARTED VEHICLE AND WENT TO BACK UP AND BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR, LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT LIGHT CAME ON AS SOON AS THE PEDDLE HIT THE FLOOR. VEHICLE WAS SLOWLY MOVING BACKWARDS AND WOULD NOT STOP. TRIED PUMPING THE PEDDLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. USED PARKING BRAKE TO STOP VEHICLE TO AVOID BACKING INTO OTHER CARS BEHIND. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND FOUND IT WAS ALMOST OUT, LESS THAN A 1/4 INCH IN THE RESERVOIR. CHECKED ENTIRE VEHICLE AND NO LEAKS COULD BE FOUND CALLED CROSSROADS FORD IN CARY, NC AND THEY INDICATED I SHOULD FILL IT WITH DOT3 FLUID AND BRING IT IN. FILLED RESERVOIR TO MAX LINE AND PUMPED BRAKED A FEW TIMES UNTIL THEY WERE FIRM. DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP, ABOUT 25 MILES. NO ISSUES GETTING TO THE DEALERSHIP OTHER THAN THE BRAKES WERE QUITE SPONGY AND NOT TOO RESPONSIVE. UPON INSPECTION AT THE DEALERSHIP, THEY REMOVED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND THE FLUID HAD FILLED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED.. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM, I'M VERY LUCKY I WASN'T KILLED OR KILLED SOMEONE IN AN ACCIDENT. VEHICLE WAS JUST A LITTLE OVER 500 OUT OF WARRANTY.

COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER. WAS TOLD BY DEALERSHIP THAT THE PARTS ARE ON NATION WIDE BACK ORDER. THIS INDICATES THERE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I AM BEING REQUIRED TO PAY BECAUSE VEHICLE IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. BRAKES SHOULD NEVER COMPLETELY FAIL. THIS COULD HAVE HAD CATASTROPHIC RESULTS. IF FORD DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS ISSUE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY SOON AND FIX IT, SOMEONE WILL BE KILLED.

THERE WAS A CLUNKING NOISE AND THEN GRINDING NOISES, PARTICULARLY LOUD WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. I STOPPED AT THE NEAREST TIRE/BRAKE CENTER (TIRES PLUS, 2975 UNIVERSITY PKWY, SARASOTA FL). THEY FOUND THAT THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE CALIPER BOLTS WERE COMPLETELY MISSING AND THE INSIDE OF WHEEL WAS GROOVED WHERE IT HAD BEEN RUBBING AGAINST THE BOLT BEFORE IT BROKE OFF. THEY ADVISED TAKING IT TO FORD, WHICH I DID. FORD KEPT THE CAR AND FIXED THE CALIPER AND REPLACED THE WHEEL WITH A NEW WHEEL, BUT DID NOT HAVE ANY EXPLANATION FOR HOW BOLTS COULD WORK LOOSE. *TR

LOUD SCREECHING. TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY TRUCK TO FORD. MY CALIPERS MAY BE CALIBRATED INCORRECTLY. THE WHEELS WERE TAKEN OFF AND THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKES WERE ENGRAVED DUE TO THE METAL ON METAL BRAKING. MY FINGER WOULD BE ABLE TO FIT INTO THE DEEP ENGRAVED SCRATCH ON THAT BRAKE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WAS NOT THE SAME BUT THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN SOON IF IT'S NOT TAKEN CARE OF QUICKLY. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BRAKES, BRAKE PAD AND ROTORS WERE COMPLETELY RUINED. TO MY AMAZEMENT THE DASH BOARD CONTROLS STATE THAT MY BRAKES ARE FINE. MY MECHANIC SAID THIS IS A MANUFACTURES DEFECT AND NEEDS TO BE SEEN BY FORD. *TR

BAD STEERING VIBRATION WHEN BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER AND THEY INDICATED WARPED ROTORS THAT HAD TO BE MACHINED BACK TO PROPER SURFACE - ALREADY!. VEHICLE IS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD, ONLY APPROX. 15K MILES. HAVE NOTICED ONLINE THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. THIS SEEMS LIKE A SAFETY CONCERN WITH FORD USING SUB-STANDARD BRAKE ROTOR MATERIALS. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD DRIFT TO THE LEFT - DEALER INDICATED ALIGNMENT ISSUE, BUT REQUIRED $450 ADDITIONAL KIT IN ORDER TO ALLOW FOR ADJUSTMENT SINCE IT WAS ALREADY AT PEAK OF SPECS (VEHICLE HAS NEVER HAD ALIGNMENT SINCE IT WAS NEW, VEHICLE HAS NEVER HAD AN INCIDENT THAT WOULD CAUSE MISALIGNMENT). VEHICLE SEEMS UNSAFE WITH THESE ISSUES AND NOW THAT THE ROTORS ARE 'THINNER' DUE TO THE RESURFACING, THE WARPING WILL LIKELY OCCUR MORE FREQUENTLY UNTIL THEY (AND OTHER BRAKE PARTS AND/OR SUSPENSION AND STEERING PARTS) NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAN LEAD TO PREMATURE BRAKE, COMPONENT, SUSPENSION AND STEERING SYSTEMS WEAR AND/OR FAILURE WHICH SHOULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. FORD WOULD NOT WARRANTY THE ALIGNMENT ISSUE AND EXTRA COST NOR REPLACEMENT ROTORS BUT ONLY RESURFACE ('TURN') THE ORIGINAL ROTORS. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW FROM FORD IN DECEMBER, WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP DOING ALL INTERSTATE DRIVING, I HAD TO BRAKE HARD TO AVOID A COLLISION WHEN A SEMI TRUCK CUT INTO MY LANE. I SLOWED SHARPLY FROM 65 TO 30, APPLYING HARD BRAKING TO THE PEDAL AND STEERING TO AVOID CONTACT WITH THE SEMI TRUCK. SINCE THEN MY BRAKES HAVE BEEN PULSING WHEN APPLIED TO SLOW MY VEHICLE, AS IF THE ROTORS ARE WARPED. MY TRUCK NOW HAS 11,000 MILES ON IT AND THE PULSING JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. *JS

NO PRIOR INDICATION THERE WERE PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES. USED THE EMERGENCY TO SAFELY BRAKE THE CAR TO CALL FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER.

AFTER DRIVING VEHICLE FOR 15 MILES IN HIGHWAY AND LOCAL TRAFFIC (TEMPERATURE 50; LIGHT RAIN), I PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL TO SLOW FOR LH TURN. PEDAL WAS VERY FIRM AND DIFFICULT TO PRESS. BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO FUNCTION, YET ABS "CHATTERED" AS I PRESSED HARDER... AND THE TRUCK SLOWED. THERE WERE NO MALFUNCTION INDICATORS ON THE DASH. WHEN TURN WAS COMPLETE, I PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN TO TEST THE BRAKES... SAME RESULT, BUT NOW BRAKE FAULT INDICATORS ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I PULLED OVER, STOPPED THE TRUCK, TURNED IT OFF, AND RESTARTED. MALFUNCTION LIGHTS CAME ON AND BRAKES FELT THE SAME. I CALLED DEALER FOR ADVICE, LEFT TRUCK RUNNING WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. CONVERSATION WITH DEALER LASTED ABOUT 7 MINUTES. AS I HUNG UP THE PHONE, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY "SOFTENED" AND FELT NORMAL. OPERATING THE BRAKES CONFIRMED NORMAL FUNCTION. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND RESTARTED. MALFUNCTION LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON AND THE BRAKES OPERATED NORMALLY ON MY DRIVE TO THE DEALER... ABOUT 7 MILES IN LOCAL TRAFFIC. *TR
