2014 FORD F-150 Service Brakes Problems

Transmission would downshift unexpectedly causing me to brake and panic, the tool icon will come on dash, speedometer stops working and backup camaras failed, transmission locked up on highway and caused driveshaft to lock back tires. All around dangerous situation

Bought truck on 2/25,. 7/15/25, wife went to store took truck. When she went to stop truck noticed brake pedal was going down but truck stop. Brake light went on so she turned around home. She drove slow when she reached the front of house pressed brake to stop truck brake pedal went all the way down. Could not stop truck with brakes so she hit curb with tire to stop it.I checked brake fluid canister and is was empty.No leaks on street.I called dealer; three days later truck was towed by dealer to their place.I was told master brake cylinder assembly and booster assembly has to be repaired.I paid 1,648.22. I called Ford for any recalls (I was concerned about brakes) I was told that there was a brake recall repaired by All American Old Bridge, dealership I bought the truck from.Repaired was done on April 12, 2017. Recall Number is 16S24 I noticed that it was exactly same problem I paid for. I told Ford what happened and I wanted my money reimbursed At first I was told the warranty expired, it was either 12 months or 12, 000 miles. I explained it was a Safety Recall not a warranty. The person would not allow me to file for reimbursemenent and after going back and forth finally told me file a claim.I did. Another weeks past and I called again, went through the whole explanation again. Asked to speak to supervisor and after a conversation told me go to dealer to file papers.I did and service manager at first started saying the same thing but eventually put in the claim. I waited several weeks, then check with dealer who told me Ford had to give a code. Called Ford was told no code needed.Called dealer and told them. Several weeks later check dealer and was told still needed code. I called Ford, and asked for a code I was told again about the warranty expiring .I spoke with supervisor same problem. Is 4 months. Nothing. Ford is not complying with Federal Safety Recall Law that does not expire. Need investigation about truck brake problem and reimbursement money.

Driving at highway speed when the low brake fluid warning light came up on dash. I managed to get the truck and trailer I was pulling to a safe location and checked brake fluid. I had little braking power. I had brake fluid brought to my location and refilled the reservoir. I inspected the brake system for leaks and there were none. I tested brakes and they appeared to function properly. I returned to the highway and within two minutes I completely lost all braking. The internet reports that there are recalls on some trucks for this problem but my search using my VIN does not show one, but I have the same brake failure described to those reports.

My master cylinder leaked in to my brake booster, so I had to replace both after losing my brake stopping abilities. I received the new parts replaced them then hookup the battery checked brakes turned off ignition. Went back to start engine nothing battery 7.5 volts.. Replaced 250.00 started engine brakes good drove stopped 3 times got home evening sun down brake lights are on, I cant turn them off! unplugged battery. The brake switch was on and broken could not be reset. This is a fire hazard!!! My leads for the positive where hot very hot to the touch, my power was weak on the engine while driving I almost lost my truck over that Brake switch? No where does it say to replace it or why does this happen it clearly is a small broblem that can be a very big one fast!

Transmission & Brakes ... Acting up

I had to do laundry loaded truck jumped in took off got on the highway doing 75 MPH peep peep low brake fluid! Low brake fluid, my peddle was not to the floor but was slow to stop.. no store to fill up brake fluid but an Ace hardware was at my laundry mate which I got 32 oz to fill it was empty. No fluid on ground!?! Did laundry drove 4 miles to walmart almost did not stop! Low brake fluid and it was out! Filled it back up with 32 oz brake fluid drove 4 miles more to home brakes down to floor put in park when stopped at light lucky it was a construction zone all the way home 35 MPH. Got home no fluid leaking out the booster weep hole? because they dont have one anymore? Took master off booster was full of brake fluid had to order both . Lucky I am an old shade tree machinic a person with out knowledge would of crashed ...

They have a faulty master cylinder on the brakes causing brake issues. I was driving down state road 80 after hurricane Ian and a car slammed on its brakes in front of me because a vehicle lost a load off of their tailgate. I slammed on my brakes but I didn't break very well. It was very squishy into the floor and I relied on distance. The brakes gave a little assistance

Vehicle drove fine to work and upon getting in to return home and staring the vehicle, the brake pedal was instantly spongy and low brake fluid alert displayed on dash. There was a difference in 9 hours from when the brakes were fully functional to having brakes were completely out and nonfunctional. Had vehicle towed to local dealership and their diagnosis was "master cylinder is bleeding into the booster" and booster "full of brake fluid." This exact issue has been known and was supposed to be addressed but there have been numerous issues with the new parts installed after the recall leading to subsequent master cylinder/booster failures. Since it has already been "repaired" under the initial recall, the subsequent repair cost $1,300 including diagnostic.

While leaving the VA parking lot, and after breaking 3 times on the way out, as I approached a major intersection, the break pedal dropped to the floor and a low break fluid warning appeared on the display. My slow approach allowed me to stop. Checked the reservoir and it was empty. I walked to the gas station and purchased break fluid, when I returned, I checked under the vehicle for a leak, to no avail. I walked back to the spot I was parked but there was no indication of a leak. I was able to get my car home, and filled the break container intending on bleeding the lines; however, Florida weather forced to wait a day. Today, Saturday, I proceeded to bleed the lines but the reservoir was empty. Again, no signs of leakage around tires, break lines, reservoir, master cylinder. Everything I have searched regarding this indicates a large population of 2024-18 F150 with a master cylinder failure.

While driving the brakes failed and pedal was to the floor. No warning light before this happened. Warning light eventually came on after the failure. This was a very scary situation. Vehicle was taken to auto repair shop who confirmed it is a failure of the master cylinder and brake booster.

Either the brake calipers or the soft brake lines feeding the calipers are sticking/collapsing internally causing the brakes to drag/lock up. This has drastically decreased the driveability of the vehicle as brakes dragging is dangerous. Based on internet searches and forums this appears to be a consistent problem with these pickups as this is the most common issue mentioned. Ford needs to address this problem with a recall before someone gets hurt.

This truck only has 35,000 miles on it , so it's a baby! All of a sudden I get a warning light that says there is a problem with my anti lock breaking system. In the 10 years I have had this truck I have never even had the anti lock breaking system engage! The Ford dealership where I bought the truck said I had a DTC C1288. The DTC C1288 on a Ford F150 indicates a brake pressure transducer circuit failure. Specifically, it means the ABS module has detected a problem with the transducer, possibly due to a short or open circuit, where the pressure reading is too high when other inputs suggest a non-pressurized system. This often results in the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) light remaining illuminated. They said if I didn't pay them $3400 parts and labor, my breaks would stop working. This is crazy. The ABS system has never engaged yet they say it's broken. This is very dangerous. Most people don't have $3400 to flush down the toilet like I did. I should not have to pay for this repair. Ford should. The part was defective from day 1. Please help me.

Brake pedal goes to floor. Feels like the brakes goes out sometimes.

had a recall on my truck to replace master brake master cylinder on October 2014, my truck lost braking power on [XXX] before I was able to leave my community almost resulted in me driving to a pond with toddler in the backseat. I was eventually able to bring truck to a full stop using extreme force to push brake to the floor. Upon discussion with Ford service representative, it is highly likely due to premature brake booster failure as a result of recalled brake cylinder. Upon further research on Kelly's Blue Book, it states that the brake booster should be replaced "as necessary" as a part of the master cylinder recall but was not in my case. this failure could have resulted in catastrophic failure ending 2 lives and Ford refuses to warrant the repair.

On September 7, 2024 at around 8 AM I was driving my 2014 Ford F150 3.5 L eco-boost and suddenly my brakes failed on me. I was driving and noticed that the low brake fluid light turned on and when I was coming to a stop, it was very difficult to stop the vehicle because I had to press my foot all the way down to the floor since I didn't feel any pressure when I pressed down on the brake. I made it to a parking lot where I put in a bottle of brake fluid, but then noticed that the fluid level went down after a few minutes. My vehicle would not retain the brake fluid and remained extremely difficult to come to a stop without putting myself and others at risk on the public roads. I entered my vehicles symptoms online and found vehicle recall "20S31", but on the Ford website, it says that my Vin is not covered by this recall. I believe that my vehicle should be covered by this recall because it has the exact same symptoms as others within the same years of production and also has the same engine type as the others that are covered by this recall.

The brake booster failed. It is not available. The mechanic replaced it. Because the booster failed the engine was sucking the brake fluid into the intact. This caused the the brakes not to have fluid and the engine to lock up and the engine threw a rod threw the engine. The problem was diagnosed by a mechanic and parts replaced. A brand new brake master cylinder was installed and a new engine is being put in. No it has not. Yes a light came on that the engine was low on brake fluid when it happened.

BRAKES HARD WHEN PRESSED RESULTING IN SAFETY CONCERNS DUE TO STOPPING RANGE. COULD RESULT IN WRECK AND PERSONAL INJURY. POSSIBLE VACUUM PUMP IS PROBLEM. MANY MORE PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED OF THIS SAME PROBLEM AND HAD TO REPLACE THE VACUUM PUMP. UNDER RECALL 20V332000 VACUUM PUMP WAS NOT CHECKED. HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO DEALER THEY ARE HARD TO WORK WITH. IN PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET REPLACED BEFORE DRIVING IT. NO WARINGS OR INDICATORS PRIOR TO FAILURE.

We got the truck out of heated storage after 6 months, and lights on dash came up stating a"Service Brakes" and "ABS" plus warning bells. Took to Ford dealer immediately and they test and said we needed a Hydralic Control Unit as our brakes would not work. In looking this up, other F150's have been recalled, but not our VIN. So we had to pay $3,000 for part and it to be programed. Fortunately it is an extra vehicle for us and we were not caught out on the interstate. I find it interesting that 3 recalls were done for this same braking issue on the F150, but for some reason did not include ours?????

I was driving my 2014 F150 truck with 5.0L engine when Brake fluid level low light came on. I tested the brakes and the pedal was soft and went almost to the floor. I added brake fluid and within 5 miles it leaked out. I had the truck towed to my parents home near where I broke down. Confirmed that master cylinder leaked fluid into brake booster. I can see there was a recall for 2014 F150 3.5L engine for this issue. Called dealer and Ford corporate and was told it did not affect 5.0. Problem is exact to recall and I believe the issue affects more vehicles than listed by Ford. Ford directed me to file complaint with NHTSA.

The low break fluid light suddenly come up, next thing you know, I didn’t have any brake function what so ever. Luckily I was driving off a parking lot. I have to call the tow truck to take my truck to the dealership. The dealer diagnosed, (failed brake master cylinder leaking into brake booster. Inspected brake system and found no external leaks all lines and calipers are dry. Removed master cylinder and found brake booster is full of fluid. Installed new brake master cylinder and brake booster. Bleed brakes) it was a recall for 2014 F150’s for this same issue but dealership said my vehicle was built months after the recalled trucks. I believe if this happened in the highway driving 70 miles an hour could end up in fatalities really easy. I am pretty sure many other 2014 F150 trucks got the same issue.

I was driving about to make a right hand trun on the st where my home is located. Out of nowhere with no warning or any message displayed on my dashboard. The both front tires locked up and automatically reduced my speed. I am thankful for this happening when I was turning on my street to my house. If it would had been a few minutes before when I was traveling at 60 mph and this would accard. The truck would have flipped i was told by a machine that did a house call. He took a look at the brakes and the pads are new the car has brake fluid and the front brakes are still locked. He had never come across this situation told me to see if there are any recalls when I looked up this same problem there are many 2014 ford f150 with the same problem. I only can say I glad it happened turning on the street where I live because my [XXX] and [XXX] were in the back seat this could had been a very dangerous car ride.

Catastrophic brake failure. Drove truck normally the night before, but when I got in the next morning to go somewhere the brake pedal went to the floor. I depressed he brake pedal 2-3 more times to ensure I wasn't misinterpreting anything and it went to the floor, unimpeded, every time. I then noticed a very large puddle of brake fluid on the pavement under the passenger front tire. Pressing on the brake pedal was apparently squirting brake fluid all over the place from somewhere in that area. Had to have to car towed to a mechanic to fix. I WAS PLANNING TO TOW A HEAVY CAMPER IN A FEW DAYS AND THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS LIFE-THREATENING ISSUE HAD IT HAPPENED ON THE ROAD. Ford has had a LOT of brake system failures on numerous vehicles. The mechanic said the right front bake line simply ruptured on its own. No evidence of it having rubbed against anything to cause a weak spot in the hose.

Unexpexted Brake failure had to pump brakes to get vehicle to stop. Would have caused accident in roadway if not for driving it into rumble strip to stop. Scary experience, towed it to get brakes repaired. No weather conditions on road.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 16V345000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic). The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was restarted after approximately four attempts. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the timing chain needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure reoccurred approximately three years later. The contact stated that on another occasion while driving at approximately 20 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed, and the vehicle failed to slow down as needed. The vehicle coasted and eventually came to a stop, and was shifted into park, and turned off. The vehicle was towed to a dealer where it was determined that the timing chain needed to be replaced again. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I remote started my truck and let it run to warm up. I got in and pushed the brake pedal and it went to the floor. I turned the ignition on and the information center said, "Brake fluid low". I turned the truck off, got out and looked under the truck for signs of brake fluid (there was none), opened the hood and my reservoir was empty. I took the master cylinder off and the brake booster was full of brake fluid. I had to replace both, the master cylinder and brake booster.

The master cylinder failed and caused brake fluid to be sucked into the vacuum brake booster. The result is total hydraulic failure of the brakes and a safety hazard. This is a known failure for the 2014 F150's with the 3.5L Ecoboost for which there was a recall. My truck with the 5.0L motor uses the same part.

The truck’s steering wheel locks up and breaks get hard when doing a turn making it hard to stop and almost being in two accidents a service advancetrack light comes on and stays on till truck is turned off.

Brake booster leaking. Eco Booster leaking oil on manifold.

While any driving conditions or speeds for no reason at all abs, traction, emergency brake system warning lamps come on. My brakes are good. Took truck to a shop and had brakes inspected and nothing is wrong with the brake system. When turn off vehicle and restart warning lamps turn off. Sometimes the check electronic differential warning lamps comes on with the 3 brake warning lamps.

OBDII code C116A, with ABS dash light on. ABS HCU needs replacing at 53000 miles. Many failures of this unit reported. Part costs $2900. Entire job quoted at $3900.

Vehicle lost brake pressure warning lights illuminated and got message saying brake fluid is low. Was able to get stopped with minimal brake pressure and found master cylinder empty. Completely filled it made it a few miles down road and it happened again no visible leaks anywhere appears to be losing fluid internally.

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving 5 MPH and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal went to the floorboard but failed to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that the check brake warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that he used the parking brake to stop the vehicle. The contact stated that he had experienced the failure approximately 10 times while driving as well as while reversing. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and was informed that the brake booster pump and brake lines, and ABS speed sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

Mileage: 165,000

Vehicle failed annual State (VA) safety inspection on 7/13/2023 due to Power Brake Booster issue. I see there is a recall out (NSTA#20V332) on Ford F150 for this issue but not on my VIN. Brakes are mushy and stopping time is increased.

RE: Safety Recall 16S24 Why is my 2014 F-150 not covered under Ford's safety recall (16S24) of a defective brake master cylinder? 16S24 covers defective master cylinders for the 3.5L V-6 Ecoboost engine, but not the 3.7L V-6 engine. Upon further research, it appears that both the aforementioned engines use the same master cylinder. See Motorcraft part no. BRMC203 (Brake Master Cylinder). According to Ford, the master cylinders' rear seal fails, thus leaking brake fluid into the attached brake power booster which causes pedal fatigue and possible loss of front brakes. My F-150 has a 3.7L V-6 engine, which is not covered under the recall. However, my F-150 is exhibiting the same master cylinder failure as is referenced in 16S24. My master cylinder has leaked into the power booster and the vacuum line attached the power booster has siphoned all brake fluid into the engine (approximately 60 ounces). The engine then expelled said brake fluid into the exhaust system causing white smoke to emit from the tail pipe.

I was going to get some lunch and I noticed a low brake fluid message was on. So I popped the hood to check fluid level and sure enough it was. I went to auto zone purchased some fluid and filled the reservoir and all seemed fine, but before I could get back to the office the message low brake fluid appeared again. Again I filled the reservoir with fluid at the end of my shift,the message went away and I headed home. As preceded home the message appeared again and I had to purchase more fluid and repeatedly filled the reservoir to make it home . After I got home I looked around the vehicle for leaks and there was none. I explained what happened to my mechanic and he told me my master cylinder was bad and that all the extra fluid I had put into the reservoir had leaked into my booster. About the same time I got a letter stating that a class action lawsuit was being filed in regard to brake failure and here I am.

Ford defrauded the U.S. Government by knowingly installing defectively-engineered parts in my truck as part of a recall and then claiming the issue was repaired. Ford obviously had so many catastrophic brake system failures it necessitated a federal recall. However, Ford admitted they never redesigned the faulty parts to mitigate the problem from happening again. This it tantamount to providing a liver transplant patient with a liver from a chronic alcoholic. Ford absolutely knew the affected parts were defectively-designed and/or defectively manufactured, yet chose to put those exact same parts back in the truck and then lie to the federal government that said parts fixed the problem. All Ford achieved was kicking the can down the road. Not surprisingly, my brake system catastrophically failed AGAIN after Ford "fixed it" during the recall. I guarantee there are other owners out there who have experienced the same problem. Ford MUST be investigated for fraud and held accountable. When I contacted Ford about the problem, their customer service supervisor said they refuse to cover the cost of the repair because it had been more than a year since parts THEY KNEW were defective were installed. Even Ford's executive team refuses to acknowledge the immorality in this situation, and has also expressly refused to reimburse me. They said it doesn't matter if I plowed into a bunch of kids, they are not in any way responsible for putting known defective parts back in my truck. Surely this is not acceptable to NHTSA, as your agency exists precisely to PREVENT this sort of corrupt behavior by automakers. FORD LIED TO YOUR OFFICE. Will that behavior be excused, or will it be investigated and prosecuted? If someone slams into a Girl Scout parade and kills a bunch of children because their supposedly "fixed" brakes failed, will your office be satisfied it did everything it could to prevent that, knowing Ford defrauded you?

I only used my VIN to get this far. The issue that I have concerns a very important safety feature that I have yet to see on any vehicle. With more and more vehicles being produced with automatic braking systems, I am wondering why the automakers don't have a specific light option on the rear of the vehicle that illuminates when the ABS is activated. There are still millions of vehicles on the road that don't have ABS. This feature would inform following drivers the difference between slowing down and quickly stopping. It could be placed in the middle of the rear brake light that is in the upper middle of the rear window. So, you are probably wondering why I am bringing this to your attention. That is because I have wasted 30k of my own money on 2 different marketing firms trying to get my patent noticed, with no luck. The patent number is 9,643,535 B1. Check it out. I dare you.

Vehicle was repaired under recall Ford Safety Recall 16S24, due to failing brake master cylinder which was leading to total brake failure. The subject vehicle (VIN 1FTFW1CT6EFB00788) was taken into a Ford Service center to perform the recall repairs in Mar 2017. Ford replaced the mater cylinder at the time under the recall. Recently (10/13/2022) the vehicle experienced complete brake failure while driving with all the same symptoms described in the original Ford Safety Recall 16S24. Audible chime with full screen screen message on the dash cluster warning of brake issues. The vehicle coasted to a stop after taking appropriate actions (downshift and e-brake) to come to a stop without crashing or injuries. The vehicle was towed to a Ford Service center for diagnoses. Ford diagnoses was rear seal failure of the master cylinder which allowed all the brake fluid from the reservoir to leak into the brake booster, leading to brake failure. This is the exact scenario described in Ford Safety Recall 16S24. Neither the Ford Service Center or Ford Corporate Customer service (Ford Case # CAS 39130043) will acknowledge repairs as they indicated that the recall is no longer applicable to my vehicle. I don't know if Ford used the same suspect master cylinder P/N to execute the repair, however it seems the issue described in the original recall is still an issue even after recall repairs are performed. At this point, Ford is charging me for the repairs to fix the issue, however the greater concern is that people driving the vehicle in the recall after getting this recall completed might be at risk of crash and injury. Also learning online that I am not unique with the issue described above. Please let me know if there is any additional information such as the latest Ford diagnoses report or documentation is needed to help further escalate this complaint.

Hello - My 2014 F150 experiencing this issue, but FORD says my VIN is not on the recall list. Truck pulled brake fluid into the engine from faulty brake booster / master, lost all brakes, lots of smoke, brake fluid reservoir empty. Brake Master Cylinder May Leak into Booster NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V332 A loss of brake fluid may result in a change in brake pedal travel and feel, increased pedal effort and reduced front brake function, possibly requiring greater effort and distance to stop the vehicle. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash.

Catastrophic brake failure. Recal 16S24 was completed on this truck, but the "repair" failed. Either the same defective parts were put back in or new but still defectively-designed parts were installed. Current symptoms are identical to the text in the recall. Pedal goes to the floor, large quantities of brake fluid are pumped out of the master cylinder reservoir, little to no observable leaking of brake fluid is observed, so per the recall fluid is being pumped into the vacuum booster. Ford refuses to address the problem. Their official policy is no recall will be repaired more than once even if the supposed "repair" also catastrophically fails. Their goal appears to be to make the "repair" last just barely longer than 1 year so they can deny coverage thereafter and make the customer deal with the repeated failure. Failure was instantaneous in that the truck was just sitting in the driveway. Brakes were fine the night before, but the next day when I went to drive it the pedal went to the floor and the brake fluid reservoir was essentiall empty. Had I been driving or towing a trailer this could easily have resulted in multiple fatalities. Ford was adamant that subsequent failures are not their responsibility.

The master cylinder failed when brake pedal was pressed. A complete total brake failure happened and i had no braking power but the parking brake, Had i entered into the main traffic and applied my brakes nothing would happen and i probably would have had an accident. I didn't have time to look for any warning lites as i was focused on beong able to stop the truck.As for my safety and others it could have been bad if not me being able to stop the truck.

Brakes went out in a school zone. Brake went straight to the floor. Could have killed a kid. I do have a 2014 model so it’s odd mine wasn’t part of the recall

The brakes stopped working and I hit my office trailer this morning and almost one of the workers on the jobsite. I didn't do any damage to the trailer or the body of my truck due to the low speed I was traveling. I have been working on cars my whole life and although I am not a certified auto mechanic I am 100% positive that the fluid from the master cylinder has leaked into the booster. Before I arrived to my jobsite the Brake light came on due to the brake fluid reservoir being empty. There is already a recall for this very dangerous failure and it should be fords responsibility to make my truck safe just like others with the Same Exact Make, Models, Years and issues.

I was driving in town. Suddenly the "check brake fluid" light came on and brakes stopped working. Had to push all the way to the floor to get truck stopped. Went immediately to an independent service center nearby to have brakes checked. Mechanic knew immediately what the problem was and showed me where the brake fluid was going into the brake booster. He also stated he has seen the problem before and there is a recall out by Ford. I immediately contacted the Ford Dealership where I purchased the vehicle new. They told me I could bring it in for repairs but checked the VIN number and said there was no recall out for my truck yet. It was not safe to drive the truck in the condition it was in. I made a very cautious and slow drive approximately 20 miles to get the truck from my home to Southwest Ford in Weatherford, Texas for repairs. The repairs were made and I paid a total of $1,146.38 to cover the repairs. This problem is part of an ongoing recall. I am requesting my VIN be added to the recall for this known problem so that I may request a reimbursement from Ford Motor Co. Thank you.

Brake warning light came on and brake pedal went further down toward floorboard. Drove cautiously to auto parts store for brake fluid. Thankfully I wasn’t driving at higher speeds on a major highway. Filled empty reservoir and made it to independent auto repair shop about 3 miles away. Reservoir empty again. Mechanic says brake master cylinder is leaking brake fluid into the brake booster. Informed me of safety recall 16S24, but my VIN was not included. Same make, model, engine size and manufacturing plant as recall. Called local Ford dealership and they would not fix for free, because VIN not included. Repair cost me $1395.54! I do not understand why my truck is not covered under the recall and request a further investigation as to why Ford is not responsible for the reimbursement of the failed safety components.

Brake fluid leaking from reservoir into brake chamber required to pump brakes to stop truck

Brakes failed suddenly. Thankfully in a parking lot but 10 minutes earlier I was going 65 down the highway. Had it towed to mechanic. Brake master cylinder failure. Requires $1200 repair to replace brake master cylinder and brake booster. No open recalls shown. Very unsafe.

Brakes started grinding and a fluid like substance was coming out. Took it in for a check and brake pad had came off and caliper had busted and was leaking brake fluid.

Vehicle down shifted from 6th gear to 1st gear, while going 70. Rear tires locked up and slide. Vehicle repeat the issue after a brief stop on the side of road to check for broken parts and determining there was nothing visually broken and no warning lights, error codes, or weird sounds when cranked. Pulled vehicle over and called for a trailer. Trailered vehicle to residence. Found where Ford has a recall for similar event in the 2011-13 models related to OSS and PCM.

On 2 separate occasions while driving I have went to stop and brake pedal would not push down . Brake system failure light and alarm came on

Brakes are hard to push. Verified by independent service center. Warning message when it happened.

My 2014 F150 LISTED ABOVE IS HAVING BRAKING ISSUES. THE PEDAL IS HARD AS A ROCK AT TIMES AND YOU HAVE TO PUT ALL OF YOUR WEIGHT INTO STOPPING THE VEHICLE. WHEN THIS OCCURS IT MAKES A GURGGLING SOUND OUT AT THE BRAKE BOOSTER. UPON VIEWING SOME MECHANICAL SITES ON THE NET THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS YEAR MODEL TRUCK AS THE MASTER CYLINDER COULD BE LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER AND OR THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAS GONE BAD. I PUT IN MY VEHICLE VIN AND IT SHOWS ZERO RECALLS FOR MY TRUCK. HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN IT'S EXACTLY WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO OTHERS OF THE SAME YEAR REGAURDLESS OF WHERE IT WAS BUILT. MY 17 YEAR OLD SON DROVE THIS TO SCHOOL TODAY AND ALMOST HIT ANOTHER VEHICLE UPON PARKING AS THE PEDAL GOT SO HARD HE COULD HARDLY STOP THE TRUCK FROM HITTING THEM, THE LIGHT DID COME ON IN THE DASH PANEL BUT WENT OUT. WILL THIS BE A RECALL IN THE NEAR FUTURE BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED? ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET THIS FIX AT OUR EXPENSE? PLEASE CONTACT US AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE TO HELP US WITH THIS MATTER.

Brake fluid leaking into break booster

I bought my 2014 Ford F150 3.5 L truck new from Livermore, CA Ford. At 24,158 miles I received a recall for a brake master cylinder failure notice. Ford repaired the brake system under 16S24. At 64,018 June 2021 as I was driving out of my church parking lot I stepped on the brakes and pedal went to the floor. No other indicator. I checked online and found the Ford recall. I had not remembered that they already fixed it. When I took it to the dealer they said I would have to pay because there was no recall on it. I guess when they fixed it the first time they took my VIN off of the list. I could have killed someone because the failure was immediate. I paid over $1000 for the repair and contacted Ford. They said too bad, that there is no recall. I have been a mechanic over 60 years and never had to replace a master cylinder. Then my new modern F150 has it fail twice in 3 years? I tried to file a complaint with Ford and they told me no. That with no recall too bad. I love my truck but this dangerous situation should not be allowed.

Our 2014 F150 has had a problem with brakes squealing since day 1 I've checked for recalls but our vehicle doesn't fit the criteria. We are told by a brakes company we do not have a brake problem . There are only 68000 miles on vehicle something has been causing the noise the entire time The reason we are only now checking is my husband just got hearing aids and now acknowledges the problem( wouldn't take my word for it) Have there been any other complaints regarding this?

Complete hydraulic brake failure (front and rear). While the vehicle was in motion, brakes were applied to stop the vehicle, but the brake peddle went completely to the floor without any braking operation. The vehicle had to be stopped with the parking brake. Upon further inspection, the brake fluid reservoir had fluid in it, but brake fluid was leaking out from the region of the master cylinder and booster. This vehicle was recalled for the same, or similar issues, and the recall repairs were performed by Ford in 2016, however, this issue occurred after the recall repairs.

Lost brakes at the same time the low Brake Fuid warning light came on. Was able to slow down by shifting the automatic transmission into a lower gear and using the Emergency Brake. The the fluid in the Brake Fluid reservoir was empty. I refilled the Brake Fluid reservoir up to the full line. It Brake warning light was off so I decided to try to make it back home. About 2 uses of the brakes and they failed completely again as I used the same method of stopping the truck as I did before when I found a safe place to get off the road. After having it towed to my house I pulled the Master Cylinder off the Brake Booster and the Booster was full of Brake Fluid. The rear seal of the Master Cylinder had completely failed. The issue is the same issue as on the other 2 recalls on 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost and the other 2014 Ford F150 with the rear seal on the Brake Master Cylinder failing which allows the Brake Fluid to be pumped into the Brake Booster instead of the Brake Calipers. If they used the same Brake Master Cylinder on the 5.0 Liter F150 as they did on the recalled F150s, then they need to recall these also.

Brakes failed after I had driven and parked the truck. Brakes worked normal. Cranked up and went to drive away and brake warning light illuminates. Applied brakes and pedal goes to the floor. Opened hood, Master cylinder empty. It’s looks like the Brake Master cylinder suddenly failed. Luckily it happened when I was starting off.

On 6-20-2021 the brakes failed on my 2014 Ford F150 3.5 V6 Ecoboost engine almost causing an accident. I found two recall notices but my VIN number was not listed. I took the vehicle to Ford in Livermore, CA and had it repaired. I then contacted Ford and I have a case number. I then went through all my maintenance history and found that there was actually a recall in 2017 with my VIN number. Apparently I did take the vehicle in and it was repaired. The recall was then deleted on my truck because it was repaired. Now in 2021 the same problem happened again. A master cylinder is a pretty simple part and should not fail this often. I will follow up on this with Ford.....

The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the brakes failed. When the contact attempted to move the vehicle out of the park position the brake pedal failed to engage, the brake pedal became hard to move. The contact stated that the vehicle had to be moved by reversing the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer performed a diagnostic that located the failure code at the brake booster and the master cylinder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 20v332000 (service brakes hydraulic). The failure mileage was 83,000.

there are two safety recalls on 2014 Ford F150 brake master cylinder failures. My VIN is not on the recall list but I have the exact same problem as they have. My brakes failed and I almost ran into a cross street with traffic. I have the vehicle in the shop now and they say if I am not on their recall list they can not help. My vehicle is the same year, same model, same engine etc. so I am confused. This is definetely a safety concern. Will be interesting how many other vehicles like mine have the same problem.o

Brake failure due to broken brake line. The hard metal brake line that runs from the distribution line on the ABS unit to the front drivers side brake came in contact with the steering linkage rubbing a hole in it. I have notified Ford customer care and my local dealer and they do not wish to take care of the issue. This posses a huge safety concern.

WHILE DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC! MY BRAKE PEDAL BECAME SOFT THEN THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF ANY BRAKING. I DID CHECK FOR A RECALL BUT WAS TOLD EVEN THOUGH THERE IS IN FACT A RECALL FOR THE ISSUE MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF IT.

WE WERE DRIVING AT 55 MPH DOWN HIGHWAY WHEN SUDDENLY TRUCKS REAR END JUMPED UP IN THE AIR I COASTED TO THE SHOULDER GOT TOWED TO SHOP TO FIND OUT THE REAR END TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION HAD LOCKED UP AND COMPLETLY STRIPPED EVERYTHING TEETH WERE BROKEN ON ALL PARTS PIECES LITTERALLY FELL OUT OF THE REAR END WHILE TAKING IT APART PUT ALL NEW PARTS IN TRUCK REAR END TRANSFER AND TRANSMISSION ONLY TO HAVE IT TO DO AGAIN ONLY THIS TIME I WAS GOING 30 MPH SO IT DIDNT DESTROY POWER TRAIN THIS TIME ONLY SHOT TO FIRST GEAR AND STAYED THERE LIMP MODE IS WHAT THEY CALL IT AND I FOUND A RECALL ON CERTAIAN 2013 2014 2015 AND 2016 MODELS YET IT ISNT SHOWING UP ONLINE HERE THE MECHANIC SAID THAT EXPLAINED WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FIRST POWER TRAIN HOW IT WAS GUTTED FROM REAR END TO TRANSMISSION I WAS TOWING A TRAILER THE FIRST TIME HE SAID THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME FROM FLIPPING LUCKY ME SO HOW DO I GET FORD TO NAME THIS A RECALL AND REIMBURSE MY FIRST BILL CONCERNED CONSUMER

I RECENTLY HAD MY LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING COME ON, DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT AT THE TIME AND ADDED SOME DOT4 FLUID TO MY RESERVOIR. LOOKED THINGS OVER BRIEFLY, THE RESERVOIR SEEMED INTACT, MASTER CYLINDER DIDN'T APPEAR WET, NO SPOTS ON THE GARAGE FLOOR, SO ALL WAS GOOD. AFTER ALL THE TRUCK IS 6+ YEARS OLD, I JUST FIGURED THE TIME HAD JUST COME TO SERVICE THE FLUID AND HAVE THE BRAKES LOOKED AT. TWO WEEKS LATER I HADN'T HAD TIME TO GET IT TO THE SHOP AND THE WARNING APPEARED AGAIN. SO I CHECKED THE RESERVOIR AND SURE ENOUGH IT WAS LOW AGAIN. SO THIS TIME MY INVESTIGATION WAS DEEPER AND I FOUND FLUID ON THE BOTTOM OF THE MASTER CYLINDER WHEN I WIPED MY HAND UNDER IT. THE FOUND MORE BELOW THE MASTER CYLINDER ON THE SHOCK MOUNT AND INNER FENDER WELL. SO I STARTED SHOPPING AND CHECKING PRICES ON PARTS I MIGHT NEED TO FIX THIS AND HAPPENED ON THIS ARTICLE ON TODAY'S GOOGLE, ABOUT A RECALL. SO I WENT TO THE NTSB WEB SITE AND CHECKED MY VIN #. NOPE NO RECALL FOR MY VIN #. WENT BACK TO THE ARTICLE AND REREAD IT. SO IT SEAMS THAT MY 2014 WITH THE MADE IN DEARBORN STICKER STILL IN THE FRONT WINDOW IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL THAT DESCRIBES MY PROBLEM TO THE 'T' ! I CERTAINLY BELIEVE IT DOES, AS DO THE PRO'S I'VE SHOWN. I'M AN A&P FAA NDT INSPECTOR AND DEAL WITH THESE VERY ISSUES IN THE AIRLINE BUSINESS DAILY AND THINK THERE MIGHT BE AN OVERSIGHT TO THE NUMBER OF TRUCKS INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I PLAN TO GO AHEAD WITH MY REPAIRS BECAUSE I NEED IT, BUT HOPE YOU WILL EXAMINE YOUR SCOPE OF THIS MORE CLOSELY. THANKS FOR THE SERVICE YOU PROVIDE TO KEEP US SAFE!

ON 11/15/2020 THE BRAKE PEDAL IN MY 2014 FORD F150 WITH ECOBOOST WENT TO THE FLOOR WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE BRAKE PEDAL COULD BE PUMPED UP, HOWEVER WOULD BLEED OFF TO THE FLOOR WITH CONSTANT MODERATE PRESSURE. WITH NO EXTERNAL LEAKS, THIS INDICATES A FAILED MASTER CYLINDER. I SEE THERE ARE TWO RECALLS ON THE 2014 FORD F150 WITH ECOBOOST THAT COVER ALL OF THE 2014 MODEL EXCEPT FOR TRUCKS BUILT IN JUNE AND JULY 2014. MASTER CYLINDER FAILURES AND LEAKS ARE COMMON IN 2014 F150 WITH ECOBOOST AND THIS IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. LUCKILY ALTHOUGH I HAD 3 OTHER PASSENGERS AND TOWING A UTILITY TRAILER NO ONE WAS INJURED. CURRENTLY MY TRUCK IS IN THE SMALL GAP BETWEEN TWO RECALLS. THIS IS UNSATISFACTORY AND FORD MOTOR COMPANY SHOULD BE HELD TO ACCOUNT AND PROVIDE VEHICLES WITH BASIC SAFETY EQUIPMENT IN PROPER OPERATING ORDER.

THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT LOOSE AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I THEN EXAMINED THE EXTERIOR, WHERE I SAW THE LEAKING. TO ME THIS FITS THE RECALL FOR THE BRAKES/CYLINDER, BUT MY VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE CORRECT DATE OF MANUFACTORING. IT IS A 2014 FORD F-150 WITH THE 3.5 ECOBOOST IT HAS BARELY 80K MILES. I HAVE NEVER HAD A BRAKE ISSUE ON A VEHICLE BEFORE ESPECIALLY ONE UNDER 100K. I THINK THEY NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL. I WOULD BE WILLING TO OFFER UP MY BROKEN PARTS FOR THEM TO LOOK AT. I WAS LUCKY THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO GET OUT AND LOOK AS I NOTICED SOMETHING WAS WRONG.

NHTSA RECALL 16V-345 8/11/20, I ENCOUNTERED THE DEFECT DESCRIBED IN THE ABOVE SRREPORT. THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID WITH THE RESULTING VISUAL AND AUDIBLE ALARMS. I VERIFIED AT THAT TIME THAT THE RESERVOIR IN THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EMPTY AND THAT THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED FROM THE RESERVOIR. ADDITIONAL BRAKE FLUID WAS ADDED AND THE BRAKES WERE CYCLED TO ATTEMPT TO GET BRAKING PERFORMANCE BACK. 3 CUPS OF FLUID LEAKED FROM THE RESERVOIR WITH NO VISIBLE LIQUID ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE RESERVOIR OR ANYWHERE ELSE UNDER THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS LEAKAGE INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NHTSA 16V-345 STATES: 'OWNERS WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED. ADDITIONALLY, THE BRAKE BOOSTER WILL BE REPLACED IF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING.' SR 16S24 STATES AS TO REMEDY: 'OWNERS WILL BE INSTRUCTED TO TAKE THEIR VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER TO HAVE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED ADDITIONALLY THE BRAKE BOOSTER WILL BE REPLACED IF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING.' TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A FORD DEALER (CLASSIC FORD OF COLUMBIA). AFTER THE DEALER COMPLETING THEIR EVALUATION, I WAS ADVISED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THAT, THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS STATED TO BE AT MY EXPENSE AND NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. I POINTED OUT TO THE DEALER THAT I WANTED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER REPAIRED UNDER THE RECALL. UPON DELIVERY I INQUIRED AND WAS ADVISED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS NOT REPLACED BECAUSE IT DID NOT NEED TO BE. I HAD BEEN ADVISED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED WHEN THEY WERE WANTING ME TO PAY FOR IT. COMPLAINT: THE RECALL INDICATES THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER WILL BE REPLACED IF THE MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING. IT WAS. THE ACTION IS NOT DISCRETIONARY. FORD HAS FAILED TO PERFORM WHAT WAS REQUIRED BY THE RECALL PROGRAM.

ON JULY 19, 2020 ~3:30P, I WAS TRAVELING ON CA 134 W TRANSITIONING TO CA 101 N. AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING EFFECT BEING INITIATED. VIGOROUSLY PUMPING THE BRAKES RESULTED IN VIRTUALLY NO BRAKING EFFECT. TURNING THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS ON, I THEN ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE CA 101 NORTH AND AWAITED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS BRAKING PERFORMANCE ISSUE, ANNUNCIATOR WARNING, OR ALARM OF ANY FORM TO SUGGEST A PENDING ISSUE. ONLY UPON THE ACTUAL FAILURE ITSELF DID A DISPLAY MESSAGE SHOW UP ON THE DASH. THAT MESSAGE READ SOMETHING LIKE "BRAKE FLUID LOW". AS I WAITED FOR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE, I TOOK A MOMENT TO INSPECT THE AREA UNDER THE VEHICLE LOOKING FOR EVIDENCE OF ANY DRIPPING OR LEAKING FLUIDS. THERE WAS NONE AND THE VEHICLE WAS OTHERWISE WELL MAINTAINED WITH APPROXIMATELY 60,000 MILES ON IT. I CONTACTED AAA FOR AN EMERGENCY TOW. WHEN THE AAA FLATBED TRUCK ARRIVED, THE DRIVER, BILL, ASKED THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM AND I INFORMED HIM IT WAS A VIRTUAL 100% BRAKE FAILURE. AFTER HE LOADED THE TRUCK ONTO THE FLAT BED, HE NOTED WITH SURPRISE THAT THE VEHICLE HAD INDEED LOST 100% OF ITS BRAKES. AAA TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THEIR NEAREST SERVICE CENTER LOCATED AT 5451 TUJUNGA AVE, NORTH HOLLYWOOD (LOS ANGELES), CA. WHEN THE THERE, DAN, THE TECHNICIAN/OWNER IN CHARGE, SPOKE WITH ME AFTER HIS INITIAL INSPECTION, HE WAS SURPRISED TO FIND THE VEHICLE HAD 100% BRAKE FAILURE WITH NO EVIDENCE OF ANY EXTERNAL LEAKS. HE DID NOTE THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY BUT THERE WAS NO LEAKS. HE SURMISED THAT THE FLUID MUST HAVE LEAKED "INTERNALLY" AND THEREAFTER INDICATED HE WOULD DO NO WORK ON THE VEHICLE, BELIEVING THAT FORD NEEDED TO ANALYZE THE FAILURE. MY 91 YEAR OLD PASSENGER AND I WERE LUCKY TO HAVE NOT BEEN THE CAUSE OF A MAJOR HIGHWAY ACCIDENT.

WHILE COMING TO A STOP AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, I'VE NOTICED OVER THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS THAT THE BRAKES HAVE BECOME SOFT, ALMOST GOING COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR AT TIMES. ALSO, WHILE STOPPED AND APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY SINKS TOWARDS THE FLOOR. I HAVE CHECK THE TRUCK FOR POSSIBLE LEAKS AND HAVE FOUND NONE APPARENT. THE RESERVOIR IS DOWN A BIT BUT AGAIN, NO VISIBLE LEAKS. I CHECKED FORD'S SITE FOR A POSSIBLE RECALL AND IT SAYS THERE IS NONE. HOWEVER, I KNOW THERE IS SOME 2013 AND 2014 MODELS WITH A MASTER CYLINDER RECALL.

I'VE NEVER SEEN THIS LIGHT IN MY LIFE, LET ALONE SINCE OWNING THIS TRUCK. PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL, AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR, THERE WERE NO BRAKES. CHECKED THE RESERVOIR, THERE WAS NO FLUID. CALLED EL CAJON FORD, IN CA. TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING IT TOWED IN. IN THE MEANTIME, GOT ON LINE TO RESEARCH POSSIBLE PROBLEMS, FOUND THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICE ADVISOR ACKNOWLEDGED THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL, BUT SAID HE WOULD NEED TO INSPECT THE TRUCK. CALLED ME BACK AND CONFIRMED THIS WAS THE ISSUE, BUT SAID MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLED VEHICLES. SAME PARTS, SAME PROBLEM, BUT NOT COVERED. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAITED TWO DAYS FOR THEM TO DETERMINE THEY WERE NOT GOING TO COVER THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS A FACTORY DEFECT, NOT TO MENTION A SAFETY HAZARD, THAT IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY FORD, AND THEY ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND IT. WAS TOLD IT WAS ONLY CERTAIN VIN MADE IN CERTAIN PLANTS. IT'S THE MASTER CYLINDER, THAT MOST LIKELY MADE BY ONE MANUFACTURER AND SHIPS TO ALL FORD PLANTS,

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK I GOT A WARNING ENGINE IN MY TRUCK THAT INDICATED I HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES. I TOOK IT STRAIGHT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND HAD BEEN BURNT OFF IN THE ENGINE. HE TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT I WOULD HAVE TO CHECK WITH FORD. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED IT FROM AND WAS TOLD THAT EVEN THOUGH I HAD EXPERIENCED THE EXACT FAILURE DESCRIBED IN RECALL#16V345000, AND EVEN THOUGH MY TRUCK IS THE EXACT MAKE & MODEL INCLUDED IN THE RECALL THAT MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED AND THEREFORE WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. MY TRUCK IS 5 YEARS OLD AND ONLY HAS 42K MILES ON IT. FORD IS OFFERING TO REPLACE THE MASTER CYLINDER & BRAKE BOOSTER FOR A COST OF $1032 +TAX. WITH AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC'S DIAGNOSIS AND FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENTS SAME DIAGNOSIS THAT THE FAILURE AND THE MAKE & MODEL ARE IDENTICAL, I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY MY TRUCK IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL AND REQUEST A FURTHER INVESTIGATION AS TO WHY FORD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FAILED COMPONENTS.

IT WAS DETERMINED THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND REQUIRED REPLACEMENT. ALTHOUGH WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER 2014 F-150S THAT WERE INCLUDED IN RECALL 16S24, THIS ONE, WE WERE TOLD, WAS NOT. HOWEVER, I BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN.

ONCE AGAIN THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EMPTY OF FLUID WIT ABSOLUTELY NO OIL VISIBLE ON THE TRUCK OR ON GROUND .HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY.

AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT OF THE PLACE WE STAYED AND DRIVING 1/2 MILE ON A 2 LANE ROAD, I ATTEMPTED TO PULL OVER AT A GAS STATION FOR GAS BEFORE GETTING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SPONGY AND BRAKING WAS BARELY RESPONSIVE. THE PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR AND THEN THE CHECK BRAKES INDICATOR MESSAGE DINGED ON THE TRUCK'S INFO DISPLAY AS I WAS SLOWLY ABLE TO PULL INTO THE GAS STATION. AFTER USING THE E-BRAKE TO ASSIST IN BRINGING THE TRUCK TO A STOP, I PLACED THE TRUCK IN PARK AND RAISED THE HOOD. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR LEVEL AND IT WAS WELL BELOW THE MINIMUM LINE AND WAS CLOSE TO COMPLETELY EMPTY. I CRAWLED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO VISUALLY INSPECT FOR LEAKS OF ANY KIND FROM THE BRAKE LINES FOLLOWING THEM UP TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WITH NO PRESENCE OF ANY LEAKING BRAKE FLUID. I ADDED A TOTAL OF 2 QUARTS OF DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID TO THE RESERVOIR IN THE HOPES THAT MAYBE THE SYSTEM WAS JUST LOW SOMEHOW. I DROVE THE TRUCK BACK TO THE PARK WE HAD JUST LEFT ONLY A LITTLE OVER A HALF MILE AWAY AND PARKED THE VEHICLE AS THE BRAKING WAS STILL GREATLY DIMINISHED. AS IT IS THE WEEKEND, I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE SERVICED. I HAVE CALLED THE FORD RECALL HELP LINE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY TRUCK WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE 2013-2014 F150 VEHICLE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE 3.5 ECOBOOST MODEL AND WAS BUILT USING THE IDENTICAL BRAKE COMPONENTS THAT WERE RECALLED BY FORD. BASED ON THE DESCRIPTION OF THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE CONDITIONS INDICATED IN THE 16S24 FORD RECALL AND THE CONDITIONS I AM EXPERIENCING WITH MY VEHICLE'S BRAKE FAILURE, I AM CONFIDENT THESE CONDITIONS ARE RELATED AND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED FLOODING THE BRAKE BOOSTER WITH BRAKE FLUID.

THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE FRONT BRAKE CALIPER MOUNTING BRACKETS TO THE FRONT SPINDLE ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TRUCK WILL COME OUT ON YOU, AND IT CAUSES THE CALIPER, AND THE CALIPER MOUNTING BRACKET TO COME OFF ON YOU.IN MY CASE, IT CAME COMPLETELY OFF ONCE WHILE BACKING UP, AND THE OTHER SIDE CAME COMPLETELY OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. I STILL HAD SOMEWHAT BACK BRAKES LEFT TO GET STOPPED. HOWEVER, IT SOUNDED LIKE THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS COMING OUT OF IT. I HONESTLY THOUGHT THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE TRANSFER CASE AND TRANSMISSION WAS FALLING OUT OF IT, DUE TO THE NOISE IT MADE, AND THE JERKING, JUMPING AND WOBBLING IT DONE WHEN IT CAME LOOSE. HAD I OF BEEN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC ON THE FREEWAY, IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED A WRECK IF I WOULD HAVE HAD TO STOP QUICKLY. I WAS LUCKY ONE COME OFF WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, AND THE OTHER CAME OFF DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD GOING 20 MPH. THIS WAS A SCARY SITUATION DUE TO IT BEING A SUDDEN EVENT, WITH NO WARNING WHAT SO EVER EACH TIME IT DONE IT. I NEVER WOULD HAVE THOUGHT A NEW TRUCK WOULD HAVE A PROBLEM SUCH AS THIS, BECAUSE IT IS BASICALLY THE BRAKES FALLING OFF OF IT.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MPH, THE "CHECK BRAKE SYSTEM" WARNING FLASHED ON THE DASH. I WENT TO PUSH THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE. I PHYSICALLY COULD NOT DEPRESS THE PEDAL, NOT EVEN ENOUGH TO DISABLE THE CRUISE CONTROL. I HAD TO SWITCH CRUISE OFF ON THE WHEEL, SHIFT TO NEUTRAL, AND COAST TO A STOP ON THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. SHUT THE TRUCK DOWN, TURNED BACK ON AND THE CODE DISAPPEARED AND MY BRAKES WORKED AGAIN. LATER THAT DAY, THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED ON THE INTERSTATE AGAIN. PHYSICALLY COULD NOT DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS LIKE IT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE AND I COULD NOT BRING THE TRUCK TO A STOP. I TOOK MY TRUCK INTO THE DEWEY FORD IN ANKENY, IA A COUPLE NIGHTS LATER AND THEY BEGAN DIAGNOSTICS. 4 DAYS LATER, THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM, AND ADVISED ME TO COME PICK UP THE TRUCK. NOTHING AGAINST THE DEALER, AS THEY CANNOT FIX WHAT THEY CAN'T REPRODUCE, AND THEY WERE KIND ENOUGH TO PROVIDE A LOANER AND A DISCOUNT ON THE DIAGNOSTICS FEE, BUT FORD CORPORATE REALLY NEEDS TO GET INVOLVED ON THIS SAFETY CONCERN. I'VE TRIED CALLING THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE, BUT THEY WILL DO NOTHING UNTIL IT CAN BE DIAGNOSED. IF THE DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM, THEN FORD NEEDS TO SEND A PRODUCT SUPPORT REPRESENTATIVE TO DIAGNOSE IT THEMSELVES. AS OF TODAY, MY TRUCK HAS DONE THIS 4 TIMES SINCE LEAVING DEWEY, BUT ALWAYS WHEN I AM TOO FAR FROM THEIR STORE TO DROP IT OFF. AT THIS POINT, IM SCARED TO DRIVE MY TRUCK IN TRAFFIC OR WITH PASSENGERS. PLEASE USE YOUR POWERS TO RELAY THIS TO FORD AS WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT THEY ARE IGNORING. I HAVE A RECEIPT FROM THE DEALER FOR THE DIAGNOSTICS IF A COPY OF THIS IS NEEDED FOR MY COMPLAINT.

WAS AT WENDY'S DRIVE THROUGH AFTER GROCERY SHOPPING AND BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THOUGHT BRAKE FLUID WAS JUST LOW. BY THE TIME I WAS ALMOST HOME MAYBE 2-3 MILES AWAY I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. WHEN TRAVELING AROUND 50 MILES AN HOUR AND YOU REALIZE YOU HAVE NO BRAKES IT'S A VERY SCARY SITUATION. I WAS ABLE TO GET TRUCK STOPPED BUT WASN'T SURE IF IT ACTUALLY WOULD.

I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 35 MPH AND COMING TO A RED LIGHT. I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDDLE AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS A WARNING CHIME AND THE DASH ILLUMINATED A BRAKE SERVICE WARNING AND A LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING. THERE WERE VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES AND I HAD TO DOWN SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION AND USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP, JUST IN TIME BEFORE GOING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION UNDER A RED LIGHT. WE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT ALL OF THE FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY SAID THAT OUR TRUCK DID NOT MEET THE PROPER DATE TO BE TAKEN CARE OF UNDER THE KNOWN RECALL (NHTSA RECALL #16V-345, FORD RECALL #16S24) FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THAT RECALL ENDED ON TRUCKS BUILT UP TO 8/14 AND OUR TRUCK WAS BUILT ON 12/14. WE HAD TO HAVE THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER REPLACED UNDER OUR EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH ONLY 22,901 MILES ON OUR TRUCK. THIS WAS A CATASTROPHIC BRAKE FAILURE (VIRTUALLY NO BRAKES) WITH ZERO WARNING. IF THERE HAD BEEN TRAFFIC OR IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN GOING ANY FASTER, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BRAKE FAILURE. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE THE EXACT SAME SUB-STANDARD AND DANGEROUS PARTS THAT HAD CATASTROPHICALLY FAILED. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE INFORMATION THAT THIS VERY DANGEROUS ISSUE HAD BEEN ADDRESSED AND THAT REDESIGNED PARTS HAD BEEN INSTALLED IN MY TRUCK. WE FEEL THAT OUR TRUCK NEEDS TO BE INCLUDED IN THE RECALL AND THAT WE NEED INFORMATION ON WHAT WAS DONE WITH THIS PROBLEM TO INSURE THAT IT DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN.

ON OUR WAY BACK HOME WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY AT ABOUT 65MPH I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR A MERGING CAR AND MY FOOT WENT CLEAR TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND NO BRAKES WHAT SO EVER, AT THE SAME TIME A WARNING CAME ON THE DASH THAT SAID 'BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW'. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED HORRIBLE IF IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AROUND RUSH HOUR. LUCKILY THERE WAS LIGHT TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER THIS WAS OVER I CHECKED THE BRAKE CYLINDER AND IT WAS EMPTY, I KNOW IT WAS FULL BUT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF LEAKS, AFTER FILLING IT BACK UP I TOOK IT FOR A DRIVE AND IN JUST 2 MILES IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN WITH MO BRAKES. THE TECH AT THE FORD DEALER SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER WENT OUT AND THAT THE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER. THIS DIDNT JUST PUT MY LIFE IN DANGER, IT WAS ALSO MY WIFE AND 3YR OLD AND ANY DRIVER AROUND ME. HOW DOES A TRUCK LOOSE SOMETHING AS IMPORTANT AS THE BRAKES AT ONLY 37,000 MILES?

I WAS DRIIVING ON I-55 NB AT MM 120 ON SAT 6/2/2018. THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AS MY BRAKES STOPPED WORKIG. FORTUNATELY I HAD AN RV WHICH DID STILL HAVE BRAKES. THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN SYTEM AND NO VISIBLE LEAKS. I ADDED 2 CANS OF FLUID BUT IT WAS GONE IN 2 MILES. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TOTHE FORD DEALER IN BLOOMINTON, IL.AND ON MONDAY I WAS TOLD ITHE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I SEE ONLINE THERE IS A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM ( YOUR #16V345000) (FORD #16S24). THE DEALER SAYS MY VIN IS NOT COVERED BUT I LOST MY BRAKES AT 60 MPH AND FEEL IT SHOULD BE COVERED, IT'S THE SAME ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY ROAD IN A 45MPH ZONE, MY DASH WARNING LIGHT FOR BRAKE, AND WARNING TEXT SAYING BRAKE FLUID LOW CAME ON. THEN LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER, BEFORE REACHING MY DESTINATION, WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, AND STOPPING POWER WAS PRACTICALLY NONEXISTENT. I WAS ABLE TO STOP, BUT NOT UNTIL AFTER BLOWING THROUGH A YIELD SIGN AT A CORNER. I DOWNSHIFTED MY TRANSMISSION TO SLOW DOWN, AND STANDING ON THE BRAKE PEDAL DID ALLOW SOME SMALL AMOUNT OF BRAKING TO HELP ME TO A STOP. I HAPPENED TO BE IN FRONT OF AN OREILLY AUTO PARTS STORE SO I WENT IN AND BOUGHT A BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID, THINKING/HOPING IT WAS JUST A LOW RESERVOIR THAT HADN'T BEEN NOTICED FOR 3 YEARS? AFTER OBSERVING THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS BELOW THE "MIN" LEVEL I FILLED TO "MAX" AND PROCEEDED DOWN THE ROAD TO MY DESTINATION, KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THE DASHBOARD AND THE BRAKE ACTION. LESS THAN A MINUTE LATER THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN. THAT'S WHEN I PARKED, AND WAITED FOR A FRIEND. WE BOUGHT A COUPLE MORE BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID AND I FILLED IT UP AND DROVE IT TO THE DEALER AS BEST I COULD WITHOUT RUNNING INTO ANYTHING, AND LEFT IT THERE FOR THEM TO FIX.

Mileage: 38,000

I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK ON A STREET AND HEARD AN AUDIBLE CHIME, A FULL SCREEN MESSAGE CENTER ALERT APPEARED, AND ILLUMINATION OF THE RED BRAKE WARNING INDICATOR. MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THIS AS SAME ISSUE AS NHTSA CAMPAIGN: 16V345000 OR FORD RECALL PROGRAM CODE: 16S24 : BRAKE MASTER CYLINDERS FAILURE RESULTING IN BRAKE FLUID LEAKAGE FROM THE PRIMARY RESERVOIR INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID FROM THE PRIMARY RESERVOIR RESULTS IN A COMPLETE LOSS OF FRONT BRAKE FUNCTION, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. I'M TRYING TO DETERMINE WHY THIS TRUCK IS NOT CONSIDERED PART OF THE KNOWN RECALL, THE TRUCK MEETS THE RECALL SPECS AND WAS MANUFACTURED AT THE PLANT SPECIFIED IN ATTACHED DOCUMENT FROM FORD. THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THIS TRUCK INDICATES A BUILD DATE OF 9/8/2014 AND RECALL DATE END IS 8/31/2014. THE TRUCK STILL EXPERIENCED RECALL BRAKE FAILURE, I'D REQUEST THAT THE RECALL DATE BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE TRUCKS BUILT AFTER 8/31/2014.

WHEN YOU GO TO STOP AT STOP SIGN YOU HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES TO THE FLOOR. IF YOU HAVE TO DYNAMITE THE BRAKES, IT GOES TO THE FLOOR. IF YOU HAVE TO STOP IN A HURRY, SUCH AS A DEER CROSSING IN FRONT OF YOU, YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO STOP, WHICH IS A SCARY SITUATION. HAVE BEEN TO FORD DEALER ON 4/11/2018, REPLACED BRAKE PADS, ROTORS, STILL DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION, AND REPAIR BILL FOR $897.00. THEN ON 4/23/18, WENT BACK TO FORD DEALER AND HAD BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED AND STILL DID NOT CORRECT THE SITUATION AND THIS REPAIR BILL WAS $459.00. THIS IS NOT A GOOD SITUATION TO BE IN AND AM WONDERING IF THIS A FORD DEFECT

I PARKED THE VEHICLE FOR THE EVENING, AND APPLIED THE EBRAKE. THE NEXT DAY, I ENTERED THE VEHICLE, AND PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SAFELY DISENGAGE THE EBRAKE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR-NO BRAKES. I OPENED THE HOOD, AND SAW AN EMPTY MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. I CHECKED FOR LEAKS UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETECT A POINT OF FLUID LOSS. AS THE FLUID HAD TO BE SOMEWHERE, I REMOVED THE VACUUM LINE FROM THE VACUUM BOOSTER, AND FOUND THE ID OF THE HOSE WAS WET. I ADDED A FULL PINT OF DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID, AND PUMPED THE BRAKES MULTIPLE TIMES. THIS RESULTED IN THE DRAINING OF THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR. I THEN HAD A FRIEND TOW MY TRUCK VIA FLATBED, TO MY DEALER. UPON INSPECTION, THE SERVICE TECH FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO AN INTERNAL FAILURE OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS MATCHED EXACTLY THE PROBLEM WITNESSED DURING THE 2013-2014 F-150 RECALL FOR SEAL FAILURE OF THE MASTER CYLINDER. THIS RECALL WAS FOR CERTAIN FORD F-150'S WITH 3.5 LITER ENGINES BUILT THRU AUG. 31ST 2014. MY VEHICLE IS OF THE SAME CONFIGURATION, BUT WAS BUILT IN NOV. 2014. I CONSIDER MYSELF LUCKY THAT THE BRAKE FAILURE (COMPLETE, WITHOUT WARNING), DIDN'T HAPPEN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. I BELIEVE THAT THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED.

DRIVING TO WORK, THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING MESSAGE WAS DISPLAYED. WHEN I ARRIVED AT WORK THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. THE DEALER STATED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE BOOSTER. I HAD NO BRAKING CAPABILITY, FORTUNATELY I HAD ALREADY ARRIVED AT WORK WHEN I LOST ALL BRAKING CAPABILITY. THERE IS A RECALL ON MASTER CYLINDERS AND BRAKE BOOSTERS ON 2013-2014 F150'S WITH V6 ENGINES BUT MINE IS A V8 SO IT'S NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I HAD TO PAY MY $100 DEDUCTIBLE AND USE MY EXTENDED WARRANTY TO HAVE MY VEHICLE REPAIRED. A TRUCK THAT'S NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD WITH 37K SHOULD NOT BE EXPERIENCE COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE.

TRUCK IS A 2014 F150 5.0V8 WITH ~50K MILES. WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS ~65MPH, BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. I TEST THE BRAKES BY GENTLY DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL, BUT PEDAL CONTINUES WITH NO RESISTANCE NEARLY TO THE FLOOR. BRAKES ARE ALMOST COMPLETELY INEFFECTIVE AND WOULD HAVE ZERO ABILITY TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. I THROW ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND CUT TO THE SHOULDER AND HAVE TO MANUALLY DOWNSHIFT THE TRANSMISSION TO SLOW THE VEHICLE. SITUATION COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SERIOUS AS I WAS IN MODERATE TRAFFIC. I POPPED THE HOOD AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICE THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR IS COMPLETELY EMPTY. AFTER INSPECTING ALL BRAKE LINES FRONT AND REAR AND CHECKING ALL BLEEDER SCREWS ARE CLOSED, NO VISUAL LEAKS ARE PRESENT. AS I WAS 100 MILES FROM HOME DRIVING MY WIFE AND CHILD HOME AT NIGHT, I HAD SOMEONE BRING ME SOME BRAKE FLUID TO TOP OFF THE RESERVOIR. AFTER FILLING THE RESERVOIR AND BLEEDING THE FRONT BRAKES, BRAKES SEEM TO STAY TIGHT. I DRIVE ~10 MILES AND THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT FLASHES AGAIN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. PULL OVER AGAIN AND NOTICE ZERO FLUID AGAIN. VISUALLY INSPECT ALL LINES, MASTER CYLINDER, BOOSTER, ETC., NO EVIDENCE OF LEAKS. TOP OFF THE RESERVOIR TO LIMP THE VEHICLE TO A SAFER LOCATION. NOTICE THE ENGINE STARTING TO SPUTTER AND FLUID COMPLETELY GONE IN ANOTHER ~10 MILES. OBVIOUSLY THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED AND IS LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER WHICH IS AFFECTING THE VACUUM IN THE BOOSTER. THESE ARE THE EXACT SAME SYMPTONS LISTED IN SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 16S24/ NHTSA RECALL 16V-345, HOWEVER THIS DOES NOT COVER 5.0 V8 MOTORS ONLY 3.5L ECOBOOST DESPITE THE SAME BRAKE COMPONENTS BEING USED. SO FAR OVER A QUARTER MILLION TRUCKS HAVE BEEN RECALLED. APPARENTLY NEWER 2015/16 F150S ARE EXPERIENCING SIMILIAR ISSUES AS WELL EVIDENCE OF A LARGE DEFECT IN NEWER MODEL F150 BRAKING COMPONENTS.

MY TRUCK EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE WHILE TOWING AN ENCLOSED AUTO TRAILER ON THE HIGHWAY -- LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I WAS ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE AND TRAILER TO AN EMERGENCY STOP AT A SERVICE STATION AND REFILL THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR (IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY). IT THEN HAPPENED AGAIN ONCE BACK ON THE HIGHWAY. I MADE IT TO A FORD DEALERSHIP, ONLY BEING ABLE TO SLOW AND STOP THE VEHICLE USING THE BRAKES ON THE TRAILER. THE DEALER FOUND THAT ALL THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER -- THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM FOR WHICH FORD ISSUED A RECALL ON SIMILAR MAKES/MODELS (MANF. RECALL NUMBER: 16S24). THEY WERE ABLE TO SOURCE A NEW BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND REPLACE IT UNDER WARRANTY. NOTE THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL FORD BRAKE RECALL, BUT I STRONGLY BELIEVE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN. MY WIFE AND I WERE EXPOSED TO A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF FORD HAD WIDENED THE RECALL TO OTHER MODELS.

STARTED VEHICLE IN MY PARKING SPOT AT WORK, ONLY TO SEE THE BRAKE FLUID LOW INDICATED ON THE DISPLAY SCREEN. SELECTED OK, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL WHICH TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. OPENED HOOD AND CHECKED MASTER CYLINDER FLUID RESERVOIR AND FOUND IT ALMOST EMPTY. CONTACTED JOE COOPER FORD, YUKON AND TALKED WITH SERVICE MANAGER. HE INDICATED THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING FLUID PAST THE SEAL. HE SUGGESTED THE VEHICLE BE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP FOR ANALYSIS AS FORD HAS A RECALL ON THIS VERY ISSUE. TECH PULLED MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND BRAKE BOOSTER FILLED WITH BRAKE FLUID. SERVICE ADVISOR SUGGESTED MASTER CYLINDER REPLACEMENT AT A COST OF APPROX. $750.00. WHEN QUESTIONED ABOUT WARRANTY, I WAS ADVISED MY MODEL DOES NOT MEET THE CRITERIA AS CURRENTLY POSTED BY FORD AS MY VEHICLE IS A 5.0L NOT A 3.8L V-6. WHEN ASKED ABOUT THE CONDITION OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER DUE TO CHEMICAL CONTAMINATION, THE ADVISOR WAS UNSURE WHAT TO DO. HE SUGGESTED I COMMUNICATE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER ABOUT BOTH THE REPAIR METHOD AND COSTS. AFTER REVIEWING THE RECALL I FOUND FORD RECOMMENDS; IF THE BRAKE BOOSTER HAD ANY FLUID BOTH THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER SHOULD BE REPLACED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP TO DISCUSS THE OPTIONS AND COMPLETE THE REPAIR. I AM REQUESTING THE PARTS BE RETURNED TO FORD FOR WARRANTY EVALUATION/CONSIDERATION. I CANNOT LOGICALLY UNDERSTAND WHY THE ENGINE TYPE MAKES A DIFFERENCE ON THE BRAKING SYSTEM. I AM AWAITING A REPORT FROM FORD ON THIS MATTER.

WHEN ASKED HOW SHE COULD ASSURE ME THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE CASE, SHE COULDN'T. I'M SCARED! MY WIFE HAD ONE FAILURE & SURE DON'T WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE ON ANOTHER. IS THERE ANYWAY THAT Y'ALL COULD GET INVOLVED TO ASSURE HER THIS WAS CORRECTLY REPAIRED? I'M THINKING THAT SINCE THEY DID PUT ANOTHER MC IN THE VEHICLE, I WAS REMOVED FROM THE RECALL.

I GOT INTO MY TRUCK, CRANKED IT, AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESISTANCE. I TRIED PRESSING IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS. JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE THIS, I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER CONCERNING BREAKING ISSUES FROM FORD. HOWEVER, IN THIS LETTER IT SAID THAT THE ISSUE WOULD ONLY AFFECT THE FRONT BRAKES; THE REAR BRAKES WOULD STILL BE USABLE. I CAN ASSURE YOU, THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I CONSIDER MYSELF EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL INCIDENT.

I NOTICED THE TRUCK SEEMED TO LUNGE FORWARD EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE.AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, FORD SENT ME A RECALL ON THE BRAKES.(NOT FOR THAT PROBLEM THOUGH). I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER. THEY INDICATED NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL AT LEAST THE 4TH QUARTER BUT TO BRING IT IN IF THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE PANEL. I AM TRYING TO TRADE THE TRUCK IN OR RETURN IT TO FORD BECAUSE IT IS A LEASE AND THE FORD DEALER DOESN'T WANT IT BECAUSE THEY INDICATED THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE RECALL AT THIS POINT. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED ME $6000 DOLLARS LESS THAN THE VALUE OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT HAS A RECALL ON IT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE PENALIZED TO RECEIVE A REDUCED AMOUNT FOR THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE FORD RECALL. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD ALSO.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V345000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND CAUSED BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT IN PRODUCTION YET TO RECEIVE THE REPAIR. AFTER KEEPING THE VEHICLE FOR A DAY, THE DEALER INDICATED THAT THEY HAD THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER TO REPLACE THE PART. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN IF THE SAME PART WAS REPLACED AND NOT THE NEWLY DESIGNED PART BECAUSE THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED IT WAS NOT YET IN PRODUCTION. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM THAT THE REMEDY WAS PROVIDED BY THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 25MPH STREET AND WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN, I BEGAN TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND HEARD A SMALL EXPLOSION/BOOM UNDER THE HOOD. I CONTINUED DRIVING AS THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. THE NEXT STOP SIGN I HAD VERY LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY, THE THIRD STOP SIGN I HAD NO ABILITY TO STOP AND WAS FORCED TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE. WITHIN HALF A MILE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT ALL AND HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS OR WARNINGS ON THE DASH UNTIL AFTER THE TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING, THE ONLY WARNING I HAD THERE WAS AN ISSUE WAS THE LOUD NOISE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 F150 BRAKES FOR DECREASED STOPPING ABILITY, BUT NOT FOR A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES TO NOT BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE UNTIL THERE IS AN INDICATOR LIGHT OR MESSAGE ON THE DASH - AGAIN, I HAD NEITHER OF THESE WARNINGS. ONCE THE VEHICLE GOT TO THE LOCAL DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER BOTH FAILED. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AND HAS INDICATED IT WILL BE SEVERAL WEEKS IF NOT MORE FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE PARTS. I BELIEVE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED AND TREATED AS MORE URGENT AS THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD LEAD TO FATAL ACCIDENTS - FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND NOT IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED, OTHERWISE THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD HAS MADE THE DEALER TAKE APART THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE AREA AROUND THE DEFECTIVE PARTS - I FEEL THEY ARE USING THIS AS A CASE STUDY AND ARE NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THEIR FAILED PARTS THAT COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOORBOARD WITHOUT ANY BRAKE CONTROL. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR IMMEDIATELY AFTER SAFETY PARKING AND IT WAS EMPTY.

MY VEHICLE PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I GOT IN IT TO LEAVE THE BRAKE PEDAL PUSHED DOWN TO THE FLOOR AND THE "LOW BRAKE FLUID" INDICATOR CAME ON. WHEN I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID THE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. I HAD ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES FRONT OR REAR. WHEN I FILLED THE RESERVOIR THE BRAKE FLUID LEAKED OUT IMMEDIATELY FROM SOMEWHERE IN THE MASTER CYLINDER WITHOUT THE TRUCK EVEN RUNNING OR DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY DEALER. THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER TOLD ME I WAS THE SECOND 2014 F150 HE HAD TOWED TODAY FOR THE SAME BRAKE ISSUE. MY DEALER INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL OUT ON IT BUT I HAVE RECEIVED NO NOTIFICATIONS FROM FORD. THIS IS AN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID EMPTIED OUT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

IN MAY 2015 I EXPERIENCED A VIOLENT SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL. IT WAS WORSE WHEN TRAVELING DOWNHILL AT HIGHWAY SPEED ON A HIGHWAY. ON JUNE 1 I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER WITH 16757 MILES. IT WAS DISMISSED AS POOR BRAKING HABITS THAT WARPED THE ROTORS. THE TIRES WERE ROTATED AND THAT SEEMED TO HELP BUT THE SHAKING WAS STILL EVIDENT. BY 47000 MILES AND MANY VISITS TO THE DEALER THEY RELENTED AND I PAID FOR TWO PARELLI TIRES AT COST DUE TO "TIRE ROT". THE VIOLENT SHAKING HAS NOW CEASED; HOWEVER, THERE IS A SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE DRIVING ON CITY STREETS. I AM CONFIDENT THIS MUST BE CAUSED BY WARPED ROTORS. THEY WERE WARPED ON THE JUNE 1 VISIT AND THEY REMAIN THAT WAY TODAY JULY 6, 2016.

I GOT INTO MY TRUCK PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY ON A LEVEL SURFACE. I CRANKED THE TRUCK AND PRESSED THE BRAKE TO PUT IT INTO GEAR AND THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE DASHBOARD DISPLAYED LOW BRAKE FLUID. IT NOT ONCE EVER DISPLAYED LOW BRAKE FLUID BEFORE THE FAILURE. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WILL BE A RECALL BUT NOT YET AND THEY WILL REPLACE THE PART WITH THE DEFECTIVE ONE. I'M HIGHLY ALARMED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY WANT TO PUT ME BACK INTO A TRUCK THAT THE BRAKES COMPLETLY FAILED, WITH A KNOW DEFECTIVE PART THAT GIVES ON WARNING THAT IT WILL FAIL. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK DRIVER CAME TO PICK THE TRUCK OF FOR FORD HE TOLD ME WE NEED TO TURN THE TRUCK AROUND TO TOW IT. WHEN HE TRIED USING THE BRAKES HE COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT THEY DID ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. HE WAS SCARED TO TRY AND MOVE THE TRUCK AND TOWED IT BACKWARDS. THE DEALERSHIP ALSO SAID THE BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED.

I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND APPEARS THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED. FORD HAS NO PARTS TO FIX AT THIS TIME AND THEY ARE NOT SUPPLYING ANY RENTALS.

I PUMPED THE BRAKES IN AN EFFORT TO GET SOME PETAL BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. MY SPEED WAS APPROX. 45. I WAS SUCCESSFUL IN BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WITH HARD PRESSURE ON THE PETAL AND THE USE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I WAS WITHIN A MILE OF A MECHANIC AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS SHOP FOR EVALUATION. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED. HE ADVISED THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE VEHICLE BE DRIVEN. I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT FORD CORPORATE FOR DIRECTIONS AS HOW TO PROCEED. TO DATE MY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO WORD AS HOW THEY PLAN TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I FELT LIKE MY LIFE WAS IN GREAT DANGER WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AND THE NTSB.

MY FAMILY AND I HAD HEADED HOME FROM A FAMILY VACATION AND GOT ONLY 4 MILES FROM MY WIFE'S FAMILY HOME WHEN A LOW BREAK FLUID LEVEL LIGHT CAME ON SUDDENLY. I DROVE FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS BEFORE PULLING OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD TO TURN TRUCK OFF, THEN ON AGAIN HOPING THIS MIGHT SOLVE WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. WHEN I TURNED THE TRUCK BACK ON, THE SENSOR WAS STILL ON. I PROCEEDED TO DRIVE ABOUT 1/2 MILE FURTHER WHEN I NEEDED TO SLOW A BIT DUE TO TURN IN ROAD. THE BREAK PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOORBOARD. THIS WAS LESS THAN 90 SECONDS TOTAL AFTER THE LIGHT CAME ON TO BEGIN WITH. KNOWING SOMETHING WAS SERIOUSLY WRONG WITH THE TRUCK, WE IMMEDIATELY PULLED OVER FOR GOOD AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK. ONCE IT GOT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BREAK MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER WERE SHOT AND THAT FORD HAD ALREADY BEGUN A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, THOUGH HAD NOT NOTIFIED THE CONSUMERS YET AND WERE NOT PLANNING TO DO SO UNTIL MID JULY. THAT WAS STRAIGHT FROM THE DEALERSHIP THAT MY TRUCK WAS TOWED TO. KNOWING THIS, MY FATHER IN LAW AND I BEGUN TO CALL OTHER DEALERS WITHIN 100 MILES TO SEE IF THEY MIGHT HAVE A MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER AVAILABLE AND OF COURSE, THEY DID NOT AS FORD HAD ALREADY BEGUN RECALLING THE OLD FROM THE DEALERS. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE AND MY FAMILY AND I COULD HAVE BEEN SEVERELY INJURED HAD WE NOT THOUGHT AND ACTED QUICKLY. ANYBODY WHO HAS EVER DRIVEN A VEHICLE KNOWS THAT MOST LIGHT SENSORS WARN YOU OF A PROBLEM THAT YOU HAVE SOME TIME TO LOOK INTO. THIS ISSUE IS FAR MORE SERIOUS. WE HAD SECONDS TO PULL OVER AND GET SAFE, OR THE BREAKS WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY DRY OF FLUID LEVELS AND THE VEHICLE HITTING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY OUT OF OUR CONTROL. MY VEHICLES NOW SITS WAITING FOR PARTS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE ANYTIME SOON. DEALERSHIP JUST SAID TO THROW SOME BREAK FLUID IN AND GO.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER HAVING IT I GOT A BRAKE WARNING AND IT SAID LOW BRAKE FLUID. I FILLED THE BRAKE FLUID UP AND DROVE IT A FEW MORE DAY AND AGAIN LOW BRAKE FLUID APPEARED ON THE DASH. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A LEAK. AND I DROVE THE TRUCK BACK HOME ONLY TO PUT MORE BRAKE FLUID IN. I ALSO TOLD THE DEALER THAT MY BRAKES DON'T FEEL SAFE WHEN I PUSH ON THEM BECAUSE THEY GO ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND. I BASICALLY HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY CAN'T FIX A PROBLEM THEY CAN'T FIND.

I GOT INTO MY TRUCK, STARTED IT - NOTHING UNUSUAL. PUT THE TRUCK IN REVERSE, IT STARTED BACK, I PRESSED THE BRAKE - THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT STOPPING THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE IT WAS PROBABLY IDLING A LITTLE HIGHER THAN NORMAL IN WARM-UP MODE. I HAD TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE AND AVOID HITTING A FENCE. THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING CAME UP AFTERWARDS, FOLLOWED BY A BRAKE SYSTEM RED WARNING. I INVESTIGATED, THEN HAD A MECHANIC NEIGHBOR ASSIST ME. THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID LEAK EVIDENT - NO APPARENT DAMAGED BRAKE LINES OR COMPONENTS. THE NEIGHBOR INDICATED IT WAS MOST LIKELY AN ISSUE WITH THE BOOSTER / MASTER CYLINDER OR THE VACUUM LINE. I PUT ABOUT 90 OUNCES OF FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR DURING THE TRIP TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT WAS 3/4 EMPTY WHEN I ARRIVED. STILL NO EXTERNAL LEAK EVIDENT. THE DEALERSHIP TREATED THE REPAIR AS A WARRANTY ITEM, AND TOLD ME THE FLUID WAS SATURATING THE BOOSTER WHICH HAD FAILED. THEY REPLACED BOTH THE BOOSTER AND THE MASTER CYLINDER.

PRETTY SURE THAT IS NOT THE WAY IT SUPPOSED TO BE. I ASSUME A SEAL FAILED SOMEWHERE AND THE VACUUM ASSIST SUCKED ALL THE FLUID OUT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER.

Mileage: 33,000

I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVE WAY AND MY BRAKES FAILED. THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" MESSAGE CAME UP ON THE GAUGE CLUSTER. I HAD JUST PARKED THE TRUCK 1.5 HOURS PRIOR AND THE BRAKES WERE FINE. I LOOKED IN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THERE WAS NO FLUID. I DIDN'T FIND ANY FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY, DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. I ALMOST HIT THE NEIGHBORS CAR BACKING OUT. I HAD TO GET MY TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. I SHOULD FIND OUT TOMORROW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, BUT I FIND THIS VERY FREIGHTING THAT THE BRAKES CAN JUST FAIL LIKE THAT.

SERVICE BRAKES - I HAVE 29,000 MILES AND WITH OUT WARNING THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AND LOSS OF BRAKING WHILE I WAS SITTING STILL. WENT AND GOT 2 BOTTLES OF FLUID AND FILLED DROVE 10 MILES AND ALL FLUID WAS GONE AND SO WAS BRAKES. TOOK TRUCK TO FORD AND THEY REPLACED BOTH THE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER WITH THE SAME OEM REPLACEMENT PARTS. THIS IS NOT YET A RECALL BUT AN INVESTIGATION SO WITH THE SAME PARTS INSTALLED I AM VERY NERVOUS NOW TO DRIVE THE TRUCK UNTIL AND REMEDY HAS BEEN PROVIDED.

Mileage: 29,282

AFTER DRIVING TO WORK I WAS EXISTING THE FREEWAY, A LOW BREAK FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAN ON. I PROCEEDED ABOUT 4 BLOCKS TO THE OFFICE I WAS WORKING AT, AND PARKED THE TRUCK. WHEN IT WAS TIME TO LEAVE I STARTED TO BACK OUT OF THE PARKING STALL AND HAD A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES. I HAD TO SHIFT TO PARK TO STOP THE TRUCK. WITH THE TRUCK IN PARK I CHECKED THE BRAKES AGAIN AND THE PEDAL WHEN ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I TURNED OFF THE TRUCK AND CALLED FORD ROAD SIDE SERVICE. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID TANK AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY, WITH NO SIGNS OF ANY FLUID LEAKING ON THE GROUND. AFTER WAITING 3 HOURS FOR A TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE WE FINALLY GOT IT OUT OF THE GARAGE AND DELIVERED IT TO FORD OF BELLEVUE, IN WASHINGTON STATE. THE SERVICE ADVISER INFORMED ME THAT SINCE I HAD ABOUT 37,500 MILES ON IT IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE FORD 36,000 MILE WARRANTY. HE SAID HE WOULD BE IN TOUCH WITH ME ABOUT WHAT WAS WRONG.

Mileage: 37,500

WHILE MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED I PRESSED THE BREAK PEDAL AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT APPLYING THE BREAKS. I IMMEDIATELY RELEASED THE BREAK PEDAL AND THEN PRESSED IT AGAIN. ON THIS ATTEMPT THE BREAKS DID ENGAGE.

Mileage: 18,000

I WENT TO OPERATE THE VEHICLE TODAY AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. A WARNING CAME ON THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I FILLED IT UP AND STARTED DRIVING. WITHIN TWO MINUTES THE WARNING CAME ON AGAIN. I AGAIN OPENED THE HOOD AND THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. THERE IS NO SIGN OF A LEAK UNDER THE TRUCK. ONCE AGAIN I FILLED IT UP AND WITHIN A MINUTE OR TWO THE LOW FLUID MESSAGE CAME ON AGAIN AND THE PEDAL WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALER VERY SLOWLY, USING THE E-BRAKE AND GEARING TO STOP AS NEEDED. DEALER COULD FIND NO SIGN OF A LEAK AND THINKS IT MAY BE THE FLUID BYPASSING THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND COLLECTING IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND I SEE I AM NOT THE ONLY 2014 F-150 WITH DEFECTIVE BRAKES. THIS IS A 5000 POUND PLUS VEHICLE, ONE WOULD EXPECT IT TO HAVE A VERY RELIABLE BRAKING SYSTEM. HOPEFULLY THERE WILL BE A RECALL AS A RESULT OF THIS INVESTIGATION HTTP://WWW.NBCDFW.COM/NEWS/LOCAL/US-INVESTIGATES-420000-FORD-F-150S-FOR-BRAKE-FAILURE-371060011.HTML

I HAD A BRAKE FAILURE IDENTICAL TO THAT OF WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REPORTED, WITHIN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, I WENT TO APPLY BRAKES AND PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOORBOARD & I HAD LITTLE TO NO BRAKE CONTROL. REFILLED RESERVOIR BUT IT WAS EMPTY WITHIN 30 MINUTES. ALL FLUID DRAINED OUT OF MASTER CYLINDER AND IN TO BRAKE BOOSTER. HAD TO HAVE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED, AND HAVE NOT HAD PROBLEM SINCE.

Mileage: 41,766

WHILE DRIVING ON LOCAL STREETS A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON ADVISING "LOW BRAKE FLUID", IN LESS THAT ONE MINUTE I HAD A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKES. AFTER COMING TO A STOP I FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR AND DROVE ABOUT THREE MILES TO MY DESTINATION. AFTER LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR ABOUT ON HOUR I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AGAIN AND IT WAS EMPTY BUT NO FLUID WAS ON THE DRIVEWAY UNDER THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND I HAVE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER TANK MUST BE REPLACED.

BRAKE FLUID LOW LEVEL LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING TO WORK. I STOPPED THE TRUCK AT WORK WITH A PLAN TO GET IT CHECKED AT LUNCH TIME. WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK THE BRAKE PEDAL INSTANTLY WENT TO THE FLOOR LEAVING THE TRUCK WITH NO BRAKES. I GOT OUT TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR LEVEL AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY, BUT THERE WERE NO LEAKS ANYWHERE. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO FORD DEALERSHIP

I WAS DRIVING AND THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID MESSAGE CAME UP AND FINALLY THE BREAK PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I LOST ALL BREAKING POWER. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO THE BREAK BOOSTER. BOTH HAD TO BE REPLACED.

TRUCK WAS PARKED ON A HILL AND WHEN I RETURNED I GOT MESSAGE LOW BRAKE FLUID AND HAD NO BRAKES. I ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND WITHIN 2 MINUTES IT ALL LEAKED OUT, BUT NOTHING ON THE GROUND. HAD TRUCK TOWED AND THE FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID ALL THE BRAKE FLUID HAD LEAKED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. BOTH WERE REPLACED BY LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY. TRUCK HAD 10,000 MILES AT THE TIME. SEEMS LIKE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE MANY OTHERS HAVE HAD. VERY DANGEROUS. HOPEFULLY A RECALL WILL BE DONE BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES BECAUSE OF IT.

YESTERDAY WHEN I GOT INTO MY TRUCK AND STARTED IT THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL INSTANTLY WHEN 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

BRAKE PEDDLE WENT CLEAR TO FLOOR AUG 2015, WERE TOLD BY FORD DEALERSHIP BREAK FLUID RAN INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. DID NOT CAUSE A CRASH WE WERE AT A STOP LIGHT ON HILL AND STARTED ROLLING BACKWARDS PUT ON EMERGENCY BRAKE BEFORE WE ROLLED INTO THE CAR BEHIND US ONCE LIGHT TURNED GREEN WE WENT UP THE HILL AND TRIED TO TURN COULD NOT STOP AND PEDESTRIANS WERE IN CROSSWALK SO WE COULD NOT TURN HAD TO GO STRAIGHT AND PULL OVER. WE WERE IN DOWNTOWN AND FOUND OUT LATER IF WE WERE ABLE TO TURN IT WAS A VERY STEEP DOWN HILL SO GOOD THAT WE ENDED GOING STRAIGHT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A BIG ISSUE FOR US. THIS ISSUE ONCE FIXED THEN CAUSED THE BAKE LIGHTS NOT WORK WORK SO WE WENT BACK TO DEALERSHIP DUE TO A SWITCH THAT WENT BAD DUE TO THE BRAKE PEDDLE GOING TO THE FLOOR SINCE WE WERE ON VACATION IN NASHVILLE TN WHEN WE LEFT AND STARTED ON ROAD AGAIN SOON FOUND OUT THAT IT ALSO CAUSED THE BAKES WOULD NOT TURN OFF THE CRUISE CONTROL WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH, WE WOULD HIT BRAKES AND WE WERE STILL GOING 70 MPH WE DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON SO WE MANUALLY TURNED OFF CRUISE WITH SWITCH ON STEERING WHEEL. WE HAD TO GET FIXED ONCE WE RETURNED TO OHIO. FORD PAID FOR OUR 3 EXTRA DAY STAY IN A MOTEL WHILE WE WAITED FOR PARTS TO BE FOUND BY US AND OUR DEALERSHIP IN OHIO SINCE THERE SEEMED TO BE NO BRAKE BOOSTERS AVAILABLE DURING THIS TIME. ONCE WE FOUND PARTS HAD THEM SHIPPED TO MID TEN FORD IN NASHVILLE TN.

FORD F150 SUPERCAB 4X4 5.0 AUTOMATIC. PURCHASED VEHICLE NEW IN FEBRUARY 2015. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE, I NOTICED THE TRUCK WOULD BEGIN TO CREEP FORWARD WHILE STOPPED IN TRAFFIC WITH THE BRAKE APPLIED. THIS WOULD REQUIRE MORE EFFORT TO BE APPLIED TO THE BRAKE PEDAL UNTIL THE PEDAL WOULD EVENTUALLY GO ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I TOOK THE TRUCK IN TO THE DEALER AT AROUND 500 MILES TO HAVE THE BRAKES CHECKED BUT WAS TOLD THAT THIS CONDITION WAS NORMAL FOR POWER ASSIST BRAKES. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES WITH POWER ASSIST BRAKES AND THIS CONDITION IS NOT NORMAL. THE TRUCK NOW HAS 11000 MILES AND THE CONDITION PERSISTS. BASED ON COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER F150 OWNERS IT APPEARS THAT THESE TRUCKS ARE EQUIPPED WITH DEFECTIVE MASTER CYLINDERS WHICH ARE BYPASSING. SO FAR I HAVE NOT ENCOUNTERED A TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE BUT THE BRAKING PROBLEM WITH MY TRUCK COULD BE A PRECURSOR TO COMPLETE FAILURE. I KNOW THAT THE BRAKE PROBLEM HAS MAINLY BEEN IDENTIFIED ON TRUCKS WITH THE 3.5 ENGINE BUT FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT IT COULD AFFECT TRUCKS WITH OTHER ENGINES SUCH AS MINE BECAUSE IT HAS THE SAME BRAKING SYSTEM. WHILE I HAD MY TRUCK AT THE DEALER I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY CHECKED THE BRAKES ON A NEW 2014 F150 ON THE LOT AND THE BRAKES DID THE SAME THING AS MINE, THEREFORE IT WAS A"NORMAL" CONDITION. THIS APPEARS TO BE A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM AND IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE THERE WILL BE MORE ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY THESE FAULTY MASTER CYLINDERS.

THE REAR BRAKES OF MY 2014 F 150 SPORADICALLY LOCK UP FOR A FEW SEC AFTER SHORT OR LONG DISTANCE HIGHWAY DRIVE. THE ACTUAL LOCK UP OCCURS WHEN I MAKE A TURN INTO AND AROUND A PARKING LOT. ONCE I HAVE COMPLETED THE TURN THE BRAKES QUICKLY RELEASE THEMSELVES. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER BUT CAN NEVER REPLICATE IT, SO NOTHING HAS BEEN TO EVEN LOOK AT THE BRAKING SYSTEM.

AS AS I EXITING I-95 ONTO AN OFF RAMP IN A 2014 F-150 (GOING ABOUT 45MPH AT THE TIME OF BREAKING) I STARTED TO BRAKE IN ORDER TO SLOW TO AN APPROPRIATE SPEED TO MAKE A SLIGHT RIGHT CURVED TURN. WITHIN 1-2 SECONDS, MY STEERING LOCKED UP, AND THE TIRES BEGAN TO SCREECH. I WAS UNABLE TO CONTROL MY STEERING AND THE BRAKES DID NOT SEEM TO RESPOND TO THE AMOUNT OF PRESSURE I WAS PUTTING ON THE BREAK PEDAL. WHILE I DID EVENTUALLY STOP, I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY REAR ENDED SOMEONE IF THEY WERE IN FRONT OF ME. THANKFULLY I HAD AN OPEN LANE. ONCE I WAS COMPLETELY STOPPED, THE CAR RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATION AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND INSPECT MY VEHICLE. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD SIGNAL AN ISSUE, SO I DROVE IT HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO IF THE SYSTEM WAS NOT REGISTERING ANY ERRORS AND THE TRUCK WAS (CURRENTLY) PERFORMING NORMAL. ADDITIONALLY, ABOUT 1 MONTH PRIOR, AS I WAS ACCELERATING AND THEN BEGAN TO BRAKE DUE TO A STOP LIGHT CHANGE, THE BRAKE PETAL BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND THE CAR MADE A 3 SECOND GRINDING SOUND UNTILL I LET OFF THE BRAKE, AND AGAIN PERFORMED NORMALLY THEREAFTER.

ADDED 12OZ MORE OF FLUID AND MADE IT HOME. THE NEXT MORNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. NO BRAKES AT ALL. NO SIGN OF LEAK ANYWHERE. NO FLUID ON DRIVEWAY. VANISHING FLUID?

STARTED VEHICLE AND PUSHED ON BRAKE TO SWITCH TO REVERSE, WARNING MESSAGE THAT VEHICLE WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID. VERIFIED BY LOOKING AT MASTER CYLINDER, ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND STARTED DRIVING. WITHIN 3 MILES SAME MESSAGE, PARKED VEHICLE CALLED FORD. THEY PICKED UP THE VEHICLE AND CALLED ME LATER TO ADVISE THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND THE BRAKE BOOSTER SUCKED ALL THE FLUID INTO IT. THEY BOTH NEEDED REPLACED AS WELL AS OTHER BRAKE RELATED STUFF. I RESEARCHED AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE FIRST TO HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM, I AM JUST LUCKY I WASNT ON THE FREEWAY AT SPEED WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

WHILE CHECKING ENGINE OIL NOTICED A "SUCKING" NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND NOTED IT WAS EMPTY. ADDED SOME ADDITIONAL DOT 4 FLUID UP TO THE MIN MARK AND WITHIN 30 MINUTES IT WAS EMPTY AGAIN. TRACED ALL THE BRAKE LINES AND INSPECTED THE BRAKE CALIPERS AND NO LEAKS NOTED. WENT TO START THE TRUCK TO MOVE IT AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN PRESSED WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO OTHER SIGNS OF BRAKE ISSUES PRIOR TO THIS POINT. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED THAT THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER ARE DEFECTIVE AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND COLLECTING THERE HENCE NO VISIBLE LEAKAGE. FORTUNATELY THE INCIDENT OCCURRED IN MY DRIVEWAY, BUT IF IT HAD OCCURRED ON THE ROAD WHO KNOWS WHAT THE RESULTS WOULD HAVE BEEN. THE TRUCK HAS ~21,800 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED NEW IN NOVEMBER 2014 WITH A BUILD DATE IN AUGUST 2014. QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET HAS TURNED UP SIMILAR INSTANCES WITH THE SAME YEAR, MAKE, MODEL, AND ~ MILEAGE.

BRAKES SUDDENLY FAILED ON THE HIGHWAY, HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO A FORD SERVICE CENTER AND IT TURNED OUT THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER COMPONENT FLOODED WITH BRAKE FLUID WHICH IS A MAYOR FAILURE AND IS NEVER SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN, EVEN THE SERVICE MANAGER AT SAWGRASS FORD AGREES WITH THAT ASSESSMENT. DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I FOUND OUT THIS COMPONENT HAS FAILED AROUND THE COUNTRY AND FORD HAS DONE NOTHING TO IMPROVE THE PART'S SAFETY. I'VE ALREADY FILED A COMPLAINT THE STATE OF FLORIDA ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AND NOW I'M DOING THE SAME WITH YOU. THE SUDDEN FAILURE OF THIS PART REPRESENTS A VERY GRAVE SAFETY SITUATION AS THE BRAKES ARE WITHOUT A WARNING COMPLETELY DISABLED ONCE IT HAPPENS.

AT APPROXIMATELY 12,600 MILES ON MY NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE, I EXPERIENCED BRAKE VIBRATION, A HESITATION AND JERK IN TRANSMISSION AT LOW ACCELERATING SPEED OR SLOWING DOWN AND THEN ACCELERATING, AND A LOUD WHINING NOISE FROM REAR END BETWEEN 60-65 MILES PER HOUR. I TOOK IT TO RIVER CITY FORD AND THEY TURNED THE ROTORS FOR THE BRAKES. I TOLD RIVER CITY FORD THAT WAS UNACCEPTABLE FOR A NEW VEHICLE AND BY TURNING THE ROTORS THEY JUST REDUCED THE LIFE OF THE ROTORS FOR A NEW VEHICLE. I ALSO TOLD THEM THAT THE BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE REPLACED ALSO. I CONTACTED FORD CORP AND THEY WOULD NOT TAKE ANY ACTION AND WOULD NOT LET ME TALK TO ANYONE HIGHER THAN A CUSTOMER SERVICE SUPERVISOR. RIVER CITY FORD HAS HAD MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP SINCE 7/20/2015. THEY HAVE TRIED SHIMMING RING AND PINION IN REAR END AND IT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY HAVE TRIED VARIOUS THINGS AND HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THEY CLAIM THAT ADDING GREASE TO THE TRANSMISSION SUPPOSEDLY FIXED THE JERKING WHEN ACCELERATING. FORD CORP HAS WASTED A LOT OF TIME TRYING TO FIX A KNOWN PROBLEM BY FORD. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THE REAR END ISSUE HAS EXISTED FOR YEARS AND MANY CUSTOMERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE PROBLEM. BRAKE VIBRATION, TRANSMISSION JERKING, AND LOUD HUMMING FROM THE REAR END ARE ALL SAFETY ISSUES, THAT IF A FAILURE OCCURS, COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AT HIGH SPEED.
