2016 FORD F-150 Service Brakes Problems

MY 2016 F150 HAD A RECALL (22S11 IN MAR 11,2022 WHICH THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER ON MY TRUCK. THIS WEEK 10/16/2025 I NOTICED MY BRAKES ARE FAILING AGAIN, THE PEDAL GOES ALLMOST TO THE FLOOR. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE THEM REPAIRED AGAIN. DON'T KNOW IF DEALER WILL REPAIR FREE OF CHARGE?

While driving today, my Ford F150 manual light came on while I was driving and then break assistance. Light came on, and it told me to check the brake system. And immediately immediately the truck slammed on the brakes while driving. I almost wrecked with my [XXX] daughter who is [XXX] in the vehicle. This needs to be fixed ASAP. This is very dangerous and could’ve been a lot worse this morning. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Sudden and without any warning, complete catastrophic brake failure while stopped attempting to pay at the pay station to exit a parking garage. My truck was fully stopped, in drive with my foot on the footbrake pedal, and started moving forward and suddenly lurched thru the parking exit gate and damaging it and the front end of my truck. Fortunately, no one was crossing on the sidewalk in front my truck or they would have been injured or worse, or we would have T-boned by oncoming traffic on the street. There was brake fluid in several areas where I parked the vehicle on the street after moving from the parking garage. There was a "low brake fluid warning light" after having the truck towed to Haley Ford in Chester, VA. There were warnings prior to the accident. The truck had had a "The Works" service done at Haley Ford the week prior. Haley Ford claims the front brake lines were leaking and need to be replaced after their "diagnostic" inspection.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH, the transmission unexpectedly downshifted. The contact was able to pull over to a nearby parking lot, and the vehicle was turned off and restarted to continue driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to another dealer, Sea Breeze Ford (1701 NJ-35, Wall Township, NJ 07719), who diagnosed that the brakes might have caused the failure. The dealer replaced the brake pads and rotors on all four wheels. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not under a recall. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 335,000.

Mileage: 335,000

Emergency/parking brake locks up on its own and causes the rear caliper to become extremely hot and causes poor breaking performance.

Driving down the highway at a high rate of speed had to press on my brakes and the front passenger brake hose blew out. Severe brake fluid loss .

Unknown, I was pulling into a parking spot, at Sam's Club, and lightly tap the gas petal for the turn and the truck lunched forward in the one carlink, and hit a concrete parking pole (Sam's club in Southgate Michigan has security cameras) it warped around the pole and bent the frame as if though it was 90 mph and a telephone pole.. I had taken it in twice under warranty for the gas pedal not working correctly, the warranty company would not allow a 3rd repair nor did Ford dealership take that warranty company. The airbags did not deploy, and I now have a T4 fractured vertebrae.

Brake pedal goes all the way to the floorboard causing me to cast through a red light. Problem is persistent.

I have now had two brake lines burst (both in the front) which resulted in loss of braking ability. The first incident was in March of this year, and the second was in October of this year. This has cost me at least $800 in repairs plus towing costs.

My 2016 F 150 has just 23,000 miles on it, always garaged and is in next to new condition. One day I went to start it, applying the brakes as you have to, they were firm until the vehicle started. Once started the brake pedal went right to the floor! I checked everything I could to see if the brake fluid was low or possibly a leak but nothing was visibly wrong. I took it in and sure as heck it was as I thought was the worst case scenario, the master cylinder. $800 later I was back on the road. The repair shop told me this must be a frequent problem as their distributor had several on hand. To me this is very dangerous and definitely should be a recall defect that should be reimbursable to the owner by Ford!

Driver side door some times will not close and have to lock and unlock the door to get it to close, and transmission is making hard gear changes.....

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the brake pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to stop as intended. Additionally, the brake warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard; however, the failure caused the vehicle to not stop at a stop light. The vehicle was slowly driven to an independent mechanic and the independent mechanic refilled the brake fluid. The contact stated that the brake fluid level was below the normal level within two minutes. The vehicle was diagnosed with brake master cylinder failure. The contact was informed that the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The contact was advised to take the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but provided no assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 70,480.

Rupture of soft brake line approximately 1/2 inch below crimp near the connection to hard brake line. Pedal immediately went to floor and lost nearly all braking.

* Brake hose, right front wheel * Wasn't able to stop truck, Made a emergency entrance into a parking lot. * Problem has not been confirmed by a dealer or service center, only a parts store as I used their parking lot to pull into to stop. * No inspection yet on part. * Yes, Low oil light for brakes while driving and brake pedal was going to floor right when brakes failed. Lost of brakes while driving from a ruptured brake line hose on right front wheel. Truck has less than 74,000 miles.

Check engine light just came on. Before that engine would shutter then stall. No steering and brakes could end up poorly. Think this is a safety hazard

When braking, the brake pedal goes to the floor and makes stopping the vehicle difficult. There is no sign of leaks from the lines, and is acting like the open recall on other VIN numbers on this model however Ford does not have an open recall on this VIN. The recall is the brake booster leaking into the master cylinder.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while approaching a stop, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle accelerated to unknown speeds. The driver continuously depressed the brake pedal, but it failed to respond. The driver crashed into a mailbox, brick decorations, a stop sign, a golf cart, a gas line, and a tree. The driver pulled the emergency brake, and the vehicle stopped.  There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The contact sustained injuries to her hip, but medical attention was not provided. A police report was filed. There was no reported fire or air bag deployment. The local dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

Mileage: 30,000

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 5 MPH, the contact approached a stop sign and depressed the brake pedal. However, the brake pedal was inoperable and the vehicle did not stop. Due to the brake pedal failure, the contact rear-ended the vehicle in front of him. No damage was done to either vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and advised the contact to contact NHTSA to report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 104,000.

Mileage: 104,000

Front left brake hose burst at 116000 miles. Appears to be a manufacturer defect. There is no evidence of any physical damage. This is happening way too ofter on these vehicle for it not to be a defect. I will be replacing the part this week and will save the old one in case you want to see it. My wife was actively driving the vehicle when it failed but was able to stop the vehicle without damaging anything.

I was driving at 75 mph on the freeway when suddenly I lost acceleration and the ability to accelerate. There was a message "Hill Descent Control". I did not have time to see if it said error or failure. Then "Check Manual". I was very lucky to get 3 lanes over to get off to the side of the road without being rear ended. I turned the vehicle off in order to regain my composure, then back on with no warning messages. I drove home slower.

The right front brake hose split, leading to a complete loss in braking capability while the truck was moving. The brake went to the floor with no braking. I have looked online and found multiple cases of this brake hose splitting in exactly this place. Fortunately, I was able to safely come to a stop.

Both factory brake lines ruptured and had to be replaced. The first was passenger side front brake line. I thought it was an anomaly or possibly even vandalism since it happened in a high school parking lot. Then, the driver's side ruptured several months later. Both times the vehicle was in motion but thankfully both times were in the parking lot and not the interstate. I was able to stop the vehicle with the parking brake since the brake pedal lost pressure. Had it been on the interstate, I would likely not be writing this message.

While driving, the brakes gave out when coming to a stop light. No warning system lights immediately illuminated. I had been running errands in town that morning with no issue, including stopping at church a couple minutes before with no issues. Thankfully, no one was in front of me at the stop light and I was able to avoid running the stop light by using the emergency brake pedal. I tired to release the e-brake once stopped while still in "Drive" and the regular breaks couldn't hold the truck in one spot so I put the vehicle in Neutral. When the light turned green, I release the brakes and then got a low brake fluid warning and was able to safely pull into a nearby parking lot and stop using the e-brake pedal. I walked around the vehicle to notice brake fluid in the right-front wheel well, inside the wheel rim and a pool of brake fluid forming on the ground by the tire. I had the vehicle towed to an independent service center who confirmed the brake line failure of the rubber/soft line at the linkage of the hard and rubber/soft lines. They replaced the part and replaced my brake fluid. Anecdotally, the service shop said they had the same repair on an F150 within a week prior. Luckily, I was on a low speed road with little traffic and knew to use the e-brake to safely slow and park the car. Also lucky

FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE FAILED WHEN DRIVING DOWN A RURAL HIGHWAY. THE LINE FAILED JUST BELOW THE INBOARD FITTING. OBVIOUSLY LOSING THE BRAKES PUT ME AND MY FAMILY IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE TO BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP IN A NEAR BY DOT YARD. THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT SO WE SLEPT IN THE DOT YARD. WE WERE ABLE TO FIND A REPLACEMENT LINE IN A NEAR BY TOWN AND GET IT REPAIRED THE NEXT MORNING. I INSPECTED THE DRIVERS SIDE LINE AND FOUND A BULDGE IN THE SAME LOCATION. I HAVE REPLACED THAT LINE AS WELL. I HAVE SAVED THE LINES INCASE SOMEONE WOULD LIKE TO INSPECT THEM. I DID NOT NOTICE ANY SYMPTOMS PROIR TO THE FAILURE. THE ONLY WARNING LAMP OR MESSAGE I RECEIVED WAS AFTER I HAD LOST SOME BRAKE FLUID.

Truck was just recently serviced with oil chang and fluids toped off. Drove to work in the morning with no issue. Went to leave after my work day my brake light and check fluid warning came on. Looked all over vehicle and could not find any leaks. Filled brake reservoir with dot 4 fluid and everything went back to normal. Drove a couple miles and brake lights and warning came back on and brake pedal went to the floor almost running a stop sign as I hurriedly used the emergency brake to stop. Pulled to a empty lot and again went over entire vehicle even pulled carpet back from fire wall to check for leaks. Nothing everything is dry. Apon searching the internet I found there is a recall for the exact same issue same years and vehicle but my vin isn't a part of the recall

Front right brake hose ruptured.

I came to an intersection and stopped. While my foot was on the brake pedal it became soft after 5 seconds and then was depressed to the floor board. While remaining stopped I pumped the brakes and they continued to be soft and spongy. I then proceeded through the intersection and proceeded to enter Interstate 10 just outside of Luling, TX. While traveling at 70 mph I tried my brakes again and quickly realized I didn’t have the ability to stop. I slowed my speed, found the next exit ramp and pumped my brakes and down shifted to bring my 2016 Ford F-150 to a stop on the shoulder. While stopped I pumped my brakes again and the brake pedal went directly to the floor with no resistance. My truck was not safe to drive so I had it towed to the nearest town of Luling, TX. The mechanic diagnosed the problem where the rubber brake line on the right front wheel had ruptured causing the loss of hydraulic pressure and fluid.

I would like to bring to your attention two safety concerns regarding the 2016 Ford F150 model, specifically related to the braking system and the panoramic roof hardware. I have experienced these issues which may pose potential risks and compromise the safety and functionality of the vehicle. Brakes Dragging or Caliper Seizing: Brakes on my 2016 Ford F150, which have experienced dragging brakes or caliper seizing. This issue can lead to premature wear of brake components and a decrease in stopping efficiency, compromising the vehicle's ability to come to a complete and timely stop. Such a condition poses a significant safety hazard, especially during emergency braking situations or when driving downhill. Panoramic Roof Hardware Made of Plastic: Another safety concern I have identified involves the panoramic roof hardware in the 2016 Ford F150. The hardware used in the construction of the roof assembly includes plastic pieces that may become dislodged and fall into the track, causing the roof to become stuck in a partially open or closed position. This malfunction could result in the inability to fully close the roof, leading to potential exposure to weather elements or reduced visibility while driving. All of these things the Ford Motor Company is aware of.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the brake pedal went to the floorboard while depressed. The vehicle failed to stop immediately rear-ending another vehicle. No air bags deployed. The contact sustained injuries to his neck and back but did not receive medical attention. A police report was filed. Additionally, the contact stated the vehicle consumed an excessive amount of oil and the key fob failed to function as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by the dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.

Mileage: 85,000

My vehicle lost all break pedal function and lost all breaking during operation. I was able to reduce speed and avoid a serious accident on the highway at 55 mph. Individuals in front of me could have been injured had I not been able to stop using the emergency brake. It seems that there is an issue with the brake master cylinder on this vehicle. Warning lamps and message came on after the failure. This vehicle has been scheduled for inspection on 02/23/2023 at 11:00 am.

1/26/2023 front left brake line failed resulting in minimal stopping ability and loss of brake fluid. Right side brake line was inspected and replaced with a bulge in the line. Greatly reduced ability to stop, used extreme caution to immediately drive to repair service shop. Photos provided by the service shop that made the repair. They replaced both front brake lines and refiled the brake fluid and bleed the brake lines. No inspection by manufacture, police, or insurance. Failure did not result in accident but certainly compromised safety due to reduced stopping ability. No symptoms leading up to the time of failure. Upon the brake line failure, the brake indicator light came on and warning of low brake fluid. Truck is currently being repaired at time of reporting so the final invoice is not availble yet.

Vehicle was parked, pressed brake pedal to start it and pedal went to floor. Found right front flex brake hose failed. Brake fluid spraying out just below the top fitting. Brake fluid low indicator came on while troubleshooting problem. OEM part not available from dealership replaced part with non-oem part.

The brake fluid reservoir cap cracked for reasons unknown allowing debris and contaminants to enter my braking system. I noticed this while checking the engine air filter. I went to the dealership to purchase a new cap and the parts salesman inform me that this is a very common issue... I'm concerned that issues my arise in the future relating to this problem.

The master cylinder. About August of 2021 I noticed that when I tried to brake, the pedal would lose pressure and I would start rolling until I applied more pressure. Eventually it got to the point where the pedal would go to the floor. I replaced the master cylinder and everything worked perfectly until again August of 2022. This time I had to warning of gradually losing pressure in the brake pedal. I was coming onto a feeder road off the highway and tried to slow down but noticed there was no pressure on the brake pedal. Thankfully in both cases no accidents occurred but not having brakes work properly is incredibly dangerous. I replaced the master cylinder again and it is working fine for now. I noticed the 3.5l has the recall but my truck is 2.7l but I'm having the exact same issue.

I had brake line rupture behind front right wheel and it caused immediate brake failure due to loss of fluid rapidly. There was no indication prior to this failure. My front brake lines had to be removed and replaced to correct problem. I had recently had my brake pads and rotors replaced at 104,000 mile this past June. My dealer had done at this time a full inspection of braking system in June. Yesterday, my brake pedal went all the way to the floor and I had to use emergency brake to stop.

The brake pedal loses pressure when applied . If applied for an extended period ( stopping at a red light ) the pedal will reach the floor . This can cause a serious accident . There have been 2 recalls addressing this problem but my vehicle was not listed in the either recall ( 20S31 & 22S11 ). My vehicle was built in Kansas in July 2016. Recall # 20S31 was issued for vehicles built Aug.1st. 2013 thru Aug. 31 2014. Recall 22S11 was issued for vehicles built Aug. 2 2016 thru Jan. 31 2017. There seems to be an on-going problem for this time period .

The front left brake line ruptured unexpectedly (no warning lamps leading up to the incident, no reduction in braking leading up to the issue; just sudden, unexpected loss of braking ability). Fortunately, this occurred while backing out of a parking spot; had this failure occurred moments earlier while driving on the highway, this could have been a much more dangerous situation. Following failure of the brake line, vehicle was towed to local dealership, who confirmed it was the brake line that failed "due to normal wear and tear", and that the master cylinder and other components were in good condition. The line was described by the mechanic to be "dried out and cracked from age" leading to a rupture. This vehicle was manufactured in 2016 with ~82,000 miles and has undergone routine maintenance as prescribed; so "normal wear and tear" does not seem so normal to me.

Downshifting while I was driving happened without warning. Besides the gear switch, I noticed problems with the speedometer, erratic gear shifting, and the transmission stuck in one gear. I could have caused a major accident by the vehicle as I was at moderately high speed in motion when the vehicle began to fail. I did also bang my head on the steering wheel when the truck began to decelerate on its own! Mechanics told me it was a problem with the OOS (Output Speed Shaft Sensor). I could have got in a major accident had I not had a quick reaction to the truck automatically downshifting while at a high rate of speed. There is currently NO recalls for the 2016 F-150 model however, I did research and found that there are issues recalls for this VERY same problem for older F-150 models. This is an incredibly dangerous problem. My truck at this time only has 66,000 miles. Not very many miles on it for a 2016 to have this type of issue. Major research needed to get this resolved asap! People’s lives are at stake with this truck!

Brake fluid leak.brakes quit working immediately while on freeway causing us to zig zag to avoid crashing with other vehicles!

Brake pedal is hard to push down and doesn't work. Pedal is stuck high then slams to the ground with no warning. On several occasions I have almost rear ended the vehicle in front of me. This is a safety issue for myself, my children, and other drivers. This has happened numerous times. Ford has a recall for this same reason on other years and models of the Ford F-150. They need to include the 2016 in the recall as well. There is an internal brake fluid leak. I have taken to local dealer and they tell me there is no problem. When the brakes fail there is no warning, no lights, no chimes, nothing.

On 12/20/21, while driving home on State Route 7 from work, the low brake fluid warning appeared. I tried the brakes and as I tried to slow down, the pedal went all the way down. I almost went off the road but after pumping it was able to slow a bit. I was merging onto Interstate 8 West and slowly drove to figure out where to get off. The best off ramp was Imperial since it was uphill and managed to pull over after getting off and stopping the truck. Replaced the lost liquid and my brother in law followed me to his home. Same issue with brakes and slowly took it to his home. Took the vehicle to Ford dealer assuming that a recall on F150 due to master cylinder failure and leaking fluid onto the booster, which occurred to my vehicle that it would be covered in good faith by Ford. My VIN was not listed although the issue was similar to the recall. After calling the NHTSA and Ford, there was nothing else that I could do at that time but pay the service. My complaint is that I almost had an accident due to an issue that Ford had recalled various trucks and did not include my truck. The least that Ford can do is in good faith and that it was not an accident due to this failure, that repayment is made on the cost to repair master cylinder and booster.

The break pedal became unresponsive and would have to be pressed alot more that usual to stop the car and the stopping distance was much much longer. Then I noticed that every time I press the brakes oil shoots out from the front driver side. When I searched online I noticed that there is a similar recall for the exact same issue and same model year ford F-150, however my VIN number is not included in the recall.

The contact owns a 2016 Ford F-150. The contact was driving approximately 50 MPH, when the brake warning light illuminated. The contact was able to pull over and inspect the brake reservoir and noticed that it was empty. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V332000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the VIN was not included. The vehicle was towed to a local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 63,643.

Mileage: 63,643

This is a 2016 Ecoboost 3.5 F150 built in Kansas City plant. The brake booster leaked and I lost brakes. This is a current recall but my VIN is not included. How can my truck, the same model and powertrain as those recalled, in the same time period, built in the same plant, with the exact same issue not be part of the recall? I nearly crashed... the mechanic at the Ford dealer knew exactly what it was - how - well clearly its a bigger issue than what has bene recalled!!!!

Hi, I have a 2016 Ford F150 with the 3.5 ecoboost motor. The truck has roughly 80k miles on it currently. I replaced the front brake rotors and pads on the truck a few weeks ago. After the repair I had full brake ability and no issues what so ever. This weekend I was driving the truck when I received an audible alarm and on the heads up screen by the speedometer that said the brake fluid was low. I also had the red "brake" indicator on the dash. When this occurred I did loose what I would say was 80% of my braking ability. Luckily I was only a few blocks from home so I was able to get home. When home I took all 4 wheels off my truck looking for leaks and everything was dry. The brake fluid reservoir was in fact low so I put 12 oz. of fluid back in it and went to drive around the block to see if things were better. I made it about 3 blocks before I received again that brake fluid low warning again and then lost braking ability. I then called my wife and took the truck to a local brake shop about a mile away. After some research over night I ran across 20V-332 and wondered if my truck was part of this recall. I called Ford this morning and the confirmed it is. They have ordered a master brake cylinder and I am now waiting for they to correct the issue. I will be without me truck at a minimum of a week because of this issue.

Low brake fluid light came on while driving. Shortly thereafter (minutes) the brakes got very bad and unsafe. Basically the resistance left and the pedal went to the floor. It slowly stopped via brakes but very poorly. You couldn't make a quick stop if needed. Checked fluid it was empty. Added fluid. Drove to dealership, brakes were slightly better but sure enough 5 minutes into drive the low fluid light came on. I suspect it is emtpy again (I dropped at dealership and told them to check). Brakes starting working worse again, just like before (keep in mind they were'nt normal again even with the fluid, just a bit more resistance when i pumped the pedal). After the light came on, all resistances was gone again. Doing some research and talking to the dealership this sounds exactly like NHTSA campaing # 20V-332, however, my vehicle isn't covered because the cutoff for that is currently Aug 1 2016, while my truck was apparently built the following month in September. Dealer thinks it is the same issue. I called Ford and they are taking a wait and see attitude, but it sure seems fishy that the exact recall problem appears to suddenly pop up in a vehicle that fits all the descriptions except a month later...The guy I talked to said they used dealership reports to determine affected dates, so who knows. Car is at dealership getting fixed and it needs a new master cylinder.

Out of no where & no indication anything was wrong, my son was driving home & lost all brakes. Out of the 300,000 recalled for this reason our vin# wasn't on the list. So we had to pay the $1117 . Ford did not seem to care when we reported it to their main office in Michigan. This could have caused a serious wreck or even a death!

Low brake fluid level. Little to no stopping abilities.

The contact owns a 2016 FORD F-150. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph and depressing the brake pedal, the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard. The contact stated that the low brake fluid warning light was displayed. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with NHTSA campaign number: 20V332000 (Service Brakes, Hydraulic) however, the Vin was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and confirmed that the Vin was not under recall. The failure mileage was approximately 73,000.

Mileage: 73,000

Leaking brake booster line at 50,000 + miles I have to pay for out of pocket. Also throttle body replacement. Vehicle would lose power then throw a code P2112. Both bad safety issues.

Master Cylinder and brake booster went out

Car lost all braking within 5 miles of starting truck. THERE WAS RISK OF SERIOUS INJURY/DEATH. No issues were experienced before parking the car the day before. Audible alert and panel "brake fluid low light" came only only 2 miles before total brake loss. Brake reservoir was empty. Refilled reservoir, pumped brakes until "normal" braking was experienced and the refilled brake reservoir. Ran the engine and drove 3 miles before all braking was lost again. Checked engine compartment and area surrounding brake reservoir and cylinder plus all hydraulic fittings around all four brakes and found all to be bone dry. No evidence of any leak anywhere. Mechanic believes the fluid is being consumed by the engine (bakes sense) and plans on examining to determine.

low brake fluid light is continuously going on and off. Parking brake also came on. There was a recall and brought to dealer and they said it was fixed. Happen shortly after, dealer said needed a battery. Replaced battery and light is still going on and off. The recall said front brakes wil go out with this issue. If this isn't fixed it will cause a crash.

NO BRAKES. TOOK TO FORD. DOES NOT FALL UNDER CURRENT RECALL OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 20V-332. HOWEVER MY FORD DEALER IS CHARGING ME TO REPLACE THE SAME EXACT PARTS UNDER THE RECALL. BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP AND BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. NO BRAKES. BRAKE FLUID LOW. ADDED MORE BRAKE FLUID, NOT LEAKING UNDER TRUCK. EMERGENCY BRAKE STILL WORKS. HAD IT TOWED TO FORD 2 WEEKS AGO. THEY ARE NOT RETURNING MY CALL. THEY DID TELL ME THEY HAD TO ORDER BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND FLUSH THE BRAKE LINES. $3000 REPAIR. ODD THAT THIS IS THE SAME REPAIR UNDER THE RECALL.

Mileage: 49,000

MY 2016 F150 3.5L ECO BOOST HAS THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL 20S31. OUT OF NOWHERE MY BRAKES WENT OUT. DASH SAID BRAKE FLUID LOW. NO SIGNS OF LEAKS EVEN AFTER REFILLING. IT WAS DUMPING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP UNDER THE AFFECTED VEHICLES THOUGH.

Mileage: 44,500

I HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS BUT ASK TO CHANGE DE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER...BUT INHAVE HAD NO LEAKS AND NOTHING SHOWS UP IN THE DASH. AT THE DEALER THEY SAID THEY JUST CARRY THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER. THEY DONT HAVE THE BRAKE BOOSTER. AM I SAFE? WHY ASKED TO CHANGE A PART WHEN THEY DONT HAVE THE OTHWR PARTE JUST IN CASE?

BRAKE PEDAL IS DROPPING TO THE FLOOR WHILE THE ENGINE IS ON. THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED BEFORE. I'M AFRAID THE BRAKE WILL FAIL AT ANY MOMENT WHILE ON THE ROAD.

Mileage: 110,000

I WENT TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP & THEY'RE THE ONES WHO TOLD ME ABOUT THE RECALL ON THE VEHICLE AFTER I HAD PURCHASED IT. THEY MADE UP EXCUSES AS TO WHY THEY COULDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM, ACCORDING TO THEM THEY DIDN'T HAVE PARTS TO RESOLVE THE RECALL ISSUE & TO COME BACK ANOTHER DAY. NOT TO WORRY THAT MY VEHICLE IS FINE. I'VE NOTICED MY TRUCK IS MALFUNCTIONING WHEN I TRY TO SLOW DOWN & STARTS SHAKING MAKING IT HARD TO BREAK ON TIME. I NOW PUT IN THE VIN NUMBER TO THEIR WEBSITE SO I CAN SCHEDULE A SERVICE & THE WEBSITE TELLS ME THERE'S NOT A RECALL ON MY VEHICLE. I UPLOADED A IMAGE OF WHAT IT SAYS SO THERE'S EVIDENCE OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE. NOT ONLY DID THEY SELL ME A TRUCK WITH MECHANICAL ISSUES GUARANTEEING ME THAT THE TRUCK WAS IN PHENOMENAL CONDITIONS BUT NOW THEY'RE ALSO REFUSING TO FIX IT.

THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND I BROUGHT THE TRUCK IN TO HAVE THE RECALL WORK DONE IN OCTOBER OF 2020. THE BRAKE FLUID LOW LIGHT IS COMING BACK ON.

Mileage: 62,000

I WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT ON ROUTE 5 IN ENFIELD CT, WHEN I NEEDED TO APPLY THE BRAKES THERE WAS NO REACTION FROM THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, I HAD TO GO UP OVER A CURB INTO GRASS TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES AND GET THE VEHICLE TO SLOW/STOP WITHOUT ANY BRAKES AVAILABLE. I ALMOST CRASHED INTO A BUILDING.

Mileage: 70,000

BRAKES WON'T HOLD FLUID OR STOP

SUDDEN BRAKE FAILURE. WARNING MESSAGE CAME ON THAT I WAS LOW ON BRAKE FLUID WHILE DRIVING ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY BETWEEN TOWNS. AFTER HITTING OK, RED BRAKE LIGHT WARNING REMAINED ON. WITHIN A MINUTE I LOST MOST BRAKING ABILITY. I PULLED OVER BUT SAW NO LEAKS UNDER THE TRUCK. WALKED TO A NAPA DEALER AND BOUGHT BRAKE FLUID AND FILLED RESERVOIR. GOT SOME BRAKE ABILITY BACK BUT WITH IN A FEW MINUTES, BRAKE PEDEL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND VERY MINIMAL BRAKING ABILITY. STILL NO LEAK FOUND UNDER THE TRUCK. I CAN NOT USE THE TRUCK WITH LIMITED BRAKES. FORD RECALL #20S31 SHOULD INCLUDE MY 2016 MODEL BUT FOR SOME REASON DOES NOT- EVEN THOUGH MODEL, MAKE, YEAR AND SYMPTOMS THE SAME AS OUTLINED IN THE RECALL. I WAS LUCKY NOT TO HAVE BEEN INVOVED IN A HIGH SPEED ACCIDENT.

ON 9/6/2020, WHILE DRIVING APPROX 60MPH ON HWY 128 BETWEEN JAL AND CARLSBAD NM, THE BRAKE PEDAL ON MY 2016 FORD F150 LARIAT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. A MESSAGE ON MY DASH CAME UP SAYING TO ADD BRAKE FLUID AND I DID. I TOOK MY TRUCK TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, CARSLBAD FORD LINCOLN. THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BOOSTER HAD A RECALL AND WAS REPLACED, BUT THE BRAKE FLUID THAT LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE WAS NEVER ADDRESSED BY THE SERVICE AND REPAIR CENTER. AS A RESULT, I NOW HAVE OVER $6,000 WORTH OF COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO MY ENGINE THAT THE DEALERSHIP IS REFUSING TO FIX BECAUSE I'M BEING BLAMED FOR THE DAMAGES FOR ADDING BRAKE FLUID TO THE RESEVOIR. IT'S BEYOND OBVIOUS THAT THE ONLY WAY ANY BRAKE FLUID LEAKED INTO THE ENGINE WAS DUE TO THE DAMAGED MANUFACTURER PART(S), THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER, THAT WERE NOT ONLY DAMAGED BUT IN RECALL STATUS - RECALL# 20S31. THE GM AND SERVICE MANAGER OF THE CARSLBAD FORD LINCOLN DEALERSHIP HAVE THE POWER, THE SUPPORT AND BACKING OF A BEHEMOTH. THEY HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT OF THE GREAT AMERICAN AUTO GIANT FORD MOTOR COMPANY AND I HAVE 100% NOTHING AND NOBODY! THERE HAS TO BE SOME LAW OR SOME THING TO PROTECT YOUR EVERYDAY INNOCENT TAX PAYING AMERICAN CITIZEN FROM BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BY PEOPLE WHO WORK FOR THESE POWERFUL ENTITES AND/OR COMPANIES. I'M WRITING THIS COMPLAINT ON 9/27 AND THEY'VE HAD MY TRUCK SINCE 9/12; JUST OVER TWO WEEKS. I'M ISSUING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I LITERALLY CANNOT PAY FOR THE $6,212 WORTH OF REPAIRS THAT FORD MOTOR CO IS ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR. ALSO, WITH (2) BLOWN TURBO CHARGERS, TUBE ASY, CONVERTER ASY, SENSORS ETC WHICH ALL NEED TO BE REPLACED; MY TRUCK IS NOT SAFE FOR ME TO DRIVE AND OTHER CITIZENS COMMUNTING WITH OR WITHOUT THEIR FAMILIES ON AMERICAN HIGHWAYS SHOULDN'T BE SUBJECTED TO THIS UNSAFE VEHICLE BEING ON THE ROAD.

BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SPONTANEOUSLY DEVELOPED A LEAK CAUSING SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED BRAKING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE PEDAL BECAME VERY SOFT AND WENT ALMOST TO THE FLOORBOARD. THIS IS THE VERY PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN RECALL 20V-332, BUT MY MANUFACTURING DATE IS 9 DAYS PAST THE CUT-OFF WINDOW OF AUGUST 1, 2016.

I EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE IN MY TRUCK. THE FAILURE OCCURED WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STATIONARY. I DROVE AT LOW SPEEDS IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA THE NIGHT PRIOR AND DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIMINISHED BRAKING FUNCTION. THE NEXT MORNING, I STARTED THE TRUCK AND OBSERVED THE BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT AND NO RESISTANCE IN THE BRAKE PEDAL. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS FROM ANY OF THE BRAKE LINES BUT THE BRAKE FLUID RESEVOIR WAS EMPTY. THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A FAILURE OF THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER, VIA LEAKING ALL BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS FAILURE IS CONSISTENT WITH THE 20S31 RECALL, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT REPORTED AS BEING EFFETED BY THIS RECALL. I AM CONCERNED THAT THERE MAY BE MORE VEHICLES OUT THERE THAT ARE EFFECTED BY THIS FAULTY PART. MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY A FORD DEALER, AND WE OPENED A INCIDENT REPORT WITH FORD BUT THEY DECLINED ANY RESPONSIBLITY FOR THIS FAILURE.

Mileage: 82,000

THE CAR WAS PARKED IN THE PARKING LOT. I STARTED TO BACK UP AND FOUND I HAD NO BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK. THE TRUCK THEN RAN INTO THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING BEHIND THE TRUCK. THE BRAKES WERE CHECKED BY LIEUT. EDWARDS OF THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND HE FOUND IT THERE WERE NO BRAKES AND THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. I OBSERVED THAT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR FOR THE FRONT BRAKES WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY AND THE RESERVOIR FOR THE REAR BRAKES HAD SLIGHTLY VISIBLE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR. PRIOR TO THE EVENT THERE WAS NO WARNING INDICATOR ON THE DASHBOARD OR ANY OTHER WARNING THAT THE BRAKES WERE GOING TO FAIL. THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD GO COMPLETELY TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN PUSHED. THE FORD F150 BUMPER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY DAMAGED AND THE PARKED CAR WAS SLIGHTLY DAMAGED. WE ARE NOW IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NORTH GEORGIA AND IF HAD WE BEEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD TO THE VALLEY WE POSSIBLY BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE. I REPORTED A PREVIOUS EVENT WITH THIS TRUCK TO YOU FOLKS LAST YEAR RELATING TO THE COMPUTER SYSTEM THAT CONTROLS JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ON THE TRUCK CAUSING A COMPLETE SHUTDOWN OF THE VEHICLE. AT THAT TIME I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE MOUNTAIN ROAD AND FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE AT THAT TIME WAS TOWED AWAY FOR REPAIRS AS WE DID THIS TIME AFTER THE BRAKE FAILURE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE BREAK FLUID RESERVOIRS HAVE LEVEL INDICATORS THAT SHOULD GIVE SOME WARNING. THEY APPARENTLY ARE INOPERABLE.

ACCORDING TO THE FORD WEBSITE, THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER, THIS REPAIR WILL BE COMPLETED FREE OF CHARGE FOR MATERIAL AND LABOR. THE DEALERSHIP , PINNACLE FORD , IS TRYING TO CHARGE ME 1200.00 FOR THE REPAIR BECAUSE IT HAS NOT BEEN DETERMINED WHAT IS COVERED IN THE RECALL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO REACH SOMEBODY AT FORD TO HANDLE THE SITUATION FOR 3 DAYS. I FINALLY REACHED SOMEBODY ON THE PHONE AND THEY SAID I NEEDED TO CALL BACK BECAUSE THE SYSTEM WAS DOWN. NOBODY SEEMS TO WANT TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS PROBLEM.

BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHEN DEPRESSED. BRAKES DID NOT ENGAGE. LOW BRAKE FLUID ALARM SOUNDED. UPON SLOWING TO A STOP, THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS DEPLETED BUT NO FLUID WAS EVIDENT ON THE GROUND. THE BRAKE FLUID WAS REPLACED TO SPECIFICATIONS BUT WAS DEPLETED AGAIN WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND BRAKES WERE NOT RESTORED. AUTO TECHNICIAN DISCOVERED MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER WAS LEAKING INTERNALLY AND BRAKE BOOSTER WAS DAMAGED. NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH BRAKING SYSTEM WERE EVER OBSERVED AND DRIVING CONDITIONS DID NOT PUT EXCESS WEAR ON BRAKING SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE IS IDENTICAL TO ISSUES DESCRIBED IN FORD RECALL 20S31.

FORD HAS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER FAILING IN THESE TRUCKS. MINE HAS CLEARLY FAILED DUE TO THIS ISSUE, AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY WAS NEARLY KILLED ON THE INTERSTATE AS A RESULT. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY AGREE THAT THIS IS THE SAME MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER ISSUE THAT FORD HAS ACKNOWLEDGED AS A KNOWN ISSUE. BUT MAGICALLY MY TRUCK IS NOT INCLUDED AS PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH ITS A 2016 FORD F-150 3.5 ECOBOOST BUILT IN KANSAS CITY. ALL THE PARAMETERS FOR THE RECALL SEEM TO MATCH MY VEHICLE PRECISELY BUT YET SOMEHOW IT MAGICALLY IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. FORD REFUSES TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND NOW I AM OUT $500 OUT OF MY OWN POCKET BECAUSE FORD REFUSES TO STEP UP AND TAKE CARE OF THIS KNOWN SAFETY HAZARD FOR ME. FORD SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES AND WITH HOW MANY NEW COMPLAINTS I SEE FILED HERE WEEKLY FOR THIS SAME ISSUE THE NHTSA SHOULD ALSO STEP UP AND FORCE FORD TO EXPAND THE RECALL BECAUSE CLEARLY NOT ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES HAVE BEEN RECALLED AT THIS POINT. I CANNOT SAY IT ENOUGH, THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. ME AND MY ENTIRE FAMILY WERE NEARLY KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS ISSUE. IT IS APPALLING TO ME THAT FORD AND THE NHSTA HAVE NOT DONE MORE TO RECTIFY THIS VERY DANGEROUS AND DEADLY PROBLEM. NEXT STEPS I SEE IN THE NEAR FUTURE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST FORD FOR IGNORING THIS WELL KNOWN ISSUE. THIS SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED AND FORD SHOULD TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE REFUSING BECAUSE IT ISN'T PART OF THE "RECALL". SHAME ON YOU FORD!

MY 2016 FORD F150 3.5L ECOBOOST DIDN'T HAVE ITS VIN TAGGED FOR THE LEAKING BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER RECALL. REFERENCE 20S31. MY TRUCK WAS BUILT AT THE DEARBORN PLANT AND MATCHES EVERY SINGLE PARAMETER FOR THE RECALL. I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK DOWN A COLORADO HIGHWAY AT A HIGH ELEVATION. MY BRAKES STARTED SOFTENING AND FELT ALMOST NO PRESSURE IN THE PEDAL. MY BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING CAME ON MY DASHBOARD ALONG WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR. I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A STORE TO PURCHASE BRAKE FLUID. WITHIN 5 MILES OF DRIVING AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK THE WARNINGS WENT OFF AGAIN MY BRAKES WEAKENED. IT WAS VERY TERRIFYING WITH HAVING MY PARTNER AND TWO DOGS IN THE CAR WITH ME. I SPOKE TO A FORD DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THEY WON'T COVER THESE REPAIRS. THIS IS AFTER I MENTIONED MY LIFE BEING IN DANGER JUST TRYING TO GET TO WORK. I HAD THE TRUCK INSPECTED BY A CREDIBLE MECHANIC WHICH TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE MATCHES THE RECALL DETAILS PERFECTLY. I BELIEVE NOW, THE BRAKE FLUID HAS LEAKED FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND IS NOW LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF THICK EXHAUST WAS BEING EXPELLED FROM THE TRUCK ON THE SECOND DAY OF NOTICING BRAKE FAILURE. I BELIEVE FORD SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DANGER OR HARM THAT COMES TO ME SINCE THEY HAVE TURNED ME AWAY JUST BECAUSE OF MY VIN NOT MATCHING.

BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON RESULTING IN LOSS OF BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. AFTER SEEING LIGHT I WENT TO AUTO PARTS STORE TO PURCHASE BRAKE FLUID. I FILLED BRAKE FLUID TO AN ALMOST MAX LEVEL TO GET HOME.

I ARRIVED HOME AND ADDED MORE FLUID TO THE VEHICLE WHILE PARKED AND IT IMMEDIATELY BEGAN TO GO DOWN. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE BRAKE FLUID LEAKS ANYWHERE. UNDER FURTHER INVESTIGATION A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO TRUCKS MADE AT THE SAME TIME WITH THE SAME ISSUES. MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT HAVE A RECALL SO FORD WON'T DOING ANYTHING WITH THIS OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT AND OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKS FLUID IN TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER PUMP CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKING POWER. FORD RECALL CODE 20S31 AND THE PRESS RELEASE WAS ISSUED THIS MONTH.

HEARD A WARNING CHIME AND A DASHBOARD WARNING APPEARED STATING BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WHICH WAS ALMOST EMPTY. LIMPED TO 7/11 WHILE MANUALLY DOWNSHIFTING AND ADDED TWO BOTTLES OF FLUID. BRAKE FUNCTIONALITY WAS RESTORED FOR ABOUT TEN MINUTES AND THEN EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE AND WARNINGS AS BEFORE WHILE DRIVING 30MPH AND NOT APPLYING THE BRAKES TOO OFTEN.

THE BRAKE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE DASH. I PULLED INTO AN AUTO PARTS STORE AND PURCHASED BRAKE FLUID. IT TOOK APPROXIMATELY 20 OUNCES TO FILL THE RESERVOIR. AFTER FILLING, THE WARNING LIGHTS WENT OFF, BUT THE BRAKING PEDAL WAS STILL NOT FIRM. ONCE I GOT TO MY DESTINATION, I PARKED THE CAR FOR 3 HOURS AND WHEN I LEFT, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I PUT ANOTHER 12 OUNCES OF BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESERVOIR AND IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO THE FORD DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT. AT NO TIME DID I OBSERVE ANY BRAKE FLUID ON THE GROUND. UPON INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND WAS LEAKING BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS WAS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAILURE AS THERE WAS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH AND THE LOSS OF BRAKES WAS IMMEDIATE. THE VEHICLE HAS 52,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED, LEAKING BRAKE FLUID INTO OTHER PARTS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. THEY DID NOT HAVE REPLACEMENT PARTS IN STOCK, SO I AM NOW AWAITING PARTS SHIPMENT BEFORE THEY CAN COMPLETE REPAIRS. I FEEL VERY FORTUNATE THIS HAPPENED NOW, AS MY WIFE AND I ARE SCHEDULED TO LEAVE ON VACATION IN 10 DAYS, PULLING OUR 9000 LB TRAVEL TRAILER ON AN EXTENDED HIGHWAY TRIP.

MY BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDDLE, AFTER EXITING A BUSY STREET ONTO A COMMERCIAL DRIVEWAY. THE PEDDLE BOTTOMED-OUT AND I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER. I WAS TRAVELING AT VERY LOW SPEED AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY ENGAGING THE PARK BRAKE. THE MASTER CYLINDER/RESERVOIR WAS NEAR DEPLETED. I WAS UNABLE TO FIND EVIDENCE OF BRAKE FLUID LEAK UNDER THE HOOD OR UNDER THE VEHICLE. I REFILLED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND OPERATED THE VEHICLE AT THE "OFF-STREET" LOT WHERE THE MALFUNCTION OCCURRED. AFTER SEVERAL APPLICATIONS OF THE BRAKES, THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LOW AGAIN. I REFILLED IT AND DROVE HOME (NEAR BY). AGAIN, I HAD TO ENGAGE THE PARK BRAKE IN ORDER TO COME TO A STOP IN MY DRIVEWAY. THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS NEAR EMPTY AND AGAIN I WAS UNABLE TO FIND A LEAK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP (HTTPS://WWW.SOUTHWAYFORD.COM/). I'M AWAITING DIAGNOSTIC RESULT.

AS I WAS TRAVELLING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, A LOW BRAKE FLUID NOTIFICATION APPEARED ON MY DISPLAY. ADDITIONALLY I SAW THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I STOPPED AND OPENED THE HOOD TO VERIFY THE EMPTY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR . ONCE VERIFIED I REFILLED BY PURCHASING A 32 OZ BOTTLE OF DOT4 BRAKE FLUID. ONCE REFILLED WITH ALMOST THE WHOLE BOTTLE, THE BRAKE PRESSURE MOMENTARILY RETURNED. HOWEVER UPON RETURNING TO THE HIGHWAY, I FELT THE BRAKE PRESSURE GO AWAY AGAIN AND THE LOW FLUID LIGHT RE-LIT WITHIN 10 MINUTES. I THEN WENT TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP ABOUT ANOTHER 10 MILES AWAY. THERE WAS VERY LITTLE BRAKE PRESSURE THE WHOLE WAY. I ONLY HAD ABOUT AN INCH OF PLAY AND HAD TO APPLY THE BRAKES SEVERAL SECONDS (5-10) EARLIER THAN NORMAL. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE AND REPORTED THE FOLLOWING "TECH CHECK ON CUSTOMER CONCERN, BRAKE FLUID RESERVOR EMPTY, PUT VEHICLE ON HOIST CHECK FOR EXTERNAL LEAKS , NO EXTERNAL LEAKS , REMOVE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND ALL BRAKE FLUID LEAK INTO BRAKE BOOSTER, BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER, NEED TO REPLACE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, AND BRAKE BOOSTER THAT IS CONTAMINATED WITH BRAKE FLUID"

THE MORE INFORMATION I READ AND COLLABORATE, THE MORE DISAPPOINTED I AM IN THIS VEHICLE AND MANUFACTURER. WE ALREADY HAD ONE SAFETY INCIDENT WITH THIS TRUCK AS THE REAR DRIVER'S SIDE PASSENGER SEATBELT WAS INSTALLED BACKWARDS! NOW THE BRAKES FAILING COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING IS THE LAST STRAW. WHAT IS SHOCKING TO ME IS THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS AS FAR BACK AS 2015 HOWEVER, SOME OF THE FAULTY PARTS (MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER) TRICKLED INTO PRODUCTION. THIS RECALL HAD TO DO WITH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS EQUIPPED WITH THE FAULTY PART, IT COULD LOSE ALL OF IT'S BRAKING CAPABILITY. AGAIN, I AM THANKING MY LUCKY STARS THAT ALL OF MY GIRLS ARE OK, BUT THIS IS UNACCEP AS A VEHICLE SHOULD NOT LOSE 100% OF BRAKING WHILE IN USE. WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY WE TRAVEL EVERY WEEK? HAVE A LOOK AT THE ATTACHED PHOTOS. AN EMPTY BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND ZERO BRAKE FLUID--ANYWHERE.

I HAVE LITTLE TO NO BRAKES FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES THEY WORK FINE. I BELIEVE IT'S A VACUUM BOOSTER PUMP PROBLEM ON THE FORD 3.5 ECOBOOST MOTOR. 3 DEALERSHIPS FAILED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER IT'S A COMMON OCCURRENCE TO ME. PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY INTO TRAFFIC IS A REAL DANGER TO ME AND MY FAMILY.

WHILE TRAVELING TO WORK ON US-19, TRAFFIC CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP. AS I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD NOT STOP. I VEERED LEFT INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND PASSED 2 VEHICLES BEFORE THE TRUCK CAME TO A STOP WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR EARLIER FORD F150 2014 & 2015 BUT NOT THE 2016 WHICH HAS MORE COMPLAINTS THAN THE PRIOR YEARS.

Mileage: 50,475

I EXPERIENCED AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE THAT WAS INTERMITTENT AT FIRST BUT BECAME WORST OVER TIME. WITH THIS FAILURE I WOULD LOSE STEERING AND VEHICLE ADVANCE TRACK AS WELL AS ABS BRAKE FUNCTION. WHEN ELECTRICAL POWER WAS LOST THE ELECTRICAL POWER STEERING WOULD STOP FUNCTIONING CAUSING COMPLETE LOSE OF STEERING. THIS CAUSED ME TO CROSS INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, LUCKILY THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE ONCOMING LANE. THE DEALER FOUND A WIRE GOING TO THE ALTERNATOR THAT HAD WORN THROUGH CAUSING AN OVER VOLTAGE CONDITION. THIS CAUSED MANY OF THE SYSTEMS, INCLUDING STEERING, TO SHUT DOWN. IN MY RESEARCH THIS IS NOT THE ONLY OCCURRENCE OF THIS ISSUE. MY VEHICLE HAS 42,000 MILES ON IT. I WOULD GUESS THIS WILL BECOME A MUCH MORE COMMON ISSUE WITH TIME.

MY 20 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING THROUGH A PARKING LOT AND WITHOUT ANY PRIOR PROBLEMS OR INDICATION OF A BRAKE ISSUE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE THE FLOOR BOARD AND THE TRUCK BARELY CAME TO A STOP BEFORE HITTING OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PARKING LOT, AT THIS TIME A WARNING CHIME AND WARNING MESSAGE DISPLAYING LOW BRAKE FLUID APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. SHE HAPPENED TO BE IN THE FORD DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT PICKING THE TRUCK UP FROM MULTIPLE RECALLS BEING PREFORM (NON BRAKE RELATED). SHE PULLED BACK IN THE SERVICE LANE AND ASKED FOR ASSISTANCE, THE SERVICE WRITER WENT AND GOT THE TECHNICIAN TO INSPECTED IT IN THE SERVICE LANE, HE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY CAUSING THE TRUCK TO LOOSE ALL BRAKES. THEY ENDED UP KEEPING THE VEHICLE OVER NIGHT AND INSPECTED IT THE NEXT DAY.. THE TECHNICIAN ADDED MORE BRAKE FLUID TO THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND TESTED THE TRUCKS BRAKES AND THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER IMMEDIATELY LOST THE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE AS THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. NOW BOTH THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEED TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $1,031. FROM WHAT I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS IS A WIDELY KNOW PROBLEM WITH 2013 TO 2018 FORD F150S EQUIPPED WITH THE 3.5 LITER ENGINE LIKE WE HAVE. MY DAUGHTER WAS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE SHE WAS DRIVING AT SLOW SPEEDS THROUGH A PARKING LOT, IF THIS WOULD OF HAPPENED TRAVELING A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED IT COULD OF ENDED UP CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! THIS MATTER NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED IN A SWIFT WAY TO PREVENT ANYMORE DRIVERS BEING AT RISK, NOT ONLY TO THE OCCUPANTS OF THE DEFECTIVE VEHICLE BUT THOSE THAT COULD BE HIT BY THE OUT OF CONTROL FORD F-150!

Mileage: 52,696

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND NOTICED NO REACTION AND MY PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR TO SLOW THE TRUCK. I WAS REALLY LUCK THERE WERE NO CARS TO MY RIGHT BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER ALL THIS I GOT A MESSAGE FOR 'LOW BRAKE FLUID'. I PASSED 6 CARS TILL I CAME TO A STOP.

WHILE DRIVING IN MANSFIELD, TX ON 10/27/ 2019 ( ON FRONTAGE RD. NEAR DEBBIE LN) AS I WAS PREPARING TO STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I PRESSED THE BRAKES AND THE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE TRUCK GRADUALLY CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION! FORTUNATELY, THERE WASN'T A LOT OF TRAFFIC AND I WAS ABLE TO BACK UP OUT OF THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS, CHIMES OR ALERTS TO SIGNIFY A PROBLEM. IT WAS A FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE!! I MADE IT BACK HOME SAFELY, BUT NERVOUSLY! NOW I'M VERY APPREHENSIVE ABOUT DRIVING THE TRUCK!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE BRAKE WARNING MESSAGE SUDDENLY DISPLAYED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD WHEN DEPRESSED. THE EMERGENCY BRAKE HAD TO BE APPLIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT BRAKE FLUID WAS PRESENT AND HAD BEEN SUCKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. JOE COOPER FORD (4921 N.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE NEXT EXIT AND WENT TO A GAS STATION AND ADDED TWO BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID TO GET THE LEVEL ABOVE THE MINIMUM LINE. THE PEDAL PRESSURE WAS DECREASING WITH EACH USE AND I DROVE THE REST OF THE WAY TO WORK, ABOUT A 1/2 MILE. AFTER LETTING THE CAR SIT FOR 3 HOURS THE FLUID WAS GONE AND THERE WAS NO VISIBLE SIGHT OF FLUID ON THE GROUND. I ADDED MORE FLUID AND DID NOT DRIVE THE TRUCK, BUT 3 HOURS LATER THE FLUID WAS GONE AGAIN. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER, 1/2 MILE AWAY AND THE BRAKES WERE GONE AT THIS POINT. THE MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE FLUID WAS LEAKING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER ACCORDING TO THE SERVICE REPORT. THE MASTER AND BOOSTER WERE REPLACED AND THE TRUCK FUNCTIONS PROPERLY AGAIN. I KNOW THIS WAS AN ISSUE ON THE 2013-2014 F150S AND THERE WAS A RECALL, BUT THIS HAPPENED IN A 2016 F-150 WITH 37,000 MILES WHERE A FAILURE LIKE THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I AM REPORTING THIS SINCE THERE COULD BE A SIMILAR FAILURE HAPPENING ON THE 2015+ F150S AS THE PREVIOUS GENERATION.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY WHEN MY BRAKE SYSTEM ALERT STARTED GOING OFF AND BRAKE ALERTS ON DASH, A MINUTE LATER I WENT TO BRAKE AND HAD NO BRAKES, I WAS ABLE TO GET OFF THE HIGHWAY AND TO A PARKING LOT. I OPENED UP THE HOOD AND THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID, I BOUGHT MORE FLUID AND ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE 3 MORE BLOCKS AND ALL THE ALERTS WENT OFF AGAIN AND NO BRAKES, I PULLED OVER, CHECKED THE FLUID AND IT WAS GONE. THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF LEAKS AND ALL THE FLUID WENT INTO THE BOOSTER AND ENGINE, CAUSING A THICK CLOUD OF SMOKE. I WENT TO .CARPROBLEMZOO.COM/FORD/F-150/2016/BRAKE AND FOUND 65 PEOPLE WITH THE SAME ISSUE. ARE WE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RECALL IS THERE ONE?

I STARTED MY TRUCK IN THE GARAGE AND WENT TO PUT IT INTO GEAR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND A FLASHING BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A FLUID LOW SIGNAL. I CHECKED THE FLUID IT WAS LOW. I PUT MORE FLUID IN IT AND PUSHED THE PEDAL AGAIN GONE AGAIN. I CHECKED ALL BRAKE LINES UNDER THE TRUCK NOT A LEAK ANYWHERE. I'M ORDERING A NEW BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER THE FLUID WENT INTO THE BOOSTER. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A RECALL IN THE 2013 -14 F150 BUT FORD TOLD ME THERE ISN'T A RECALL IN 2016??

ON 7 SEPTEMBER 2019 WE RETURNED FROM A FAMILY TRIP OF 9 DAYS. DURING THIS TIME THE F-150 WAS SITTING IN THE GARAGE THE WHOLE TIME. WHEN WE RETURNED I WENT TO BACK THE TRUCK OUT OF THE GARAGE AND WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL I HAD NO BRAKES. SHORTLY NOTICING THAT THERE WERE NO BRAKES THE LOW BRAKE FLUID INDICATOR CAME ON. I CHECKED THE RESERVOIR AND INDEED THE LEVEL WAS REALLY LOW, WHEN IT WAS FULL BEFORE WE LEFT ON THE TRIP. THERE WERE NO POOLS OR PUDDLES OF FLUID ANYWHERE. ON 10 SEPT, I REFILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH BRAKE FLUID. WHILE REMAINING IN THE DRIVEWAY, I PUMPED THE BRAKES. THE BREAK PEDAL CONSISTENTLY WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BREAKING POWER. AFTER SEVERAL PUMPS OF THE BREAKS THE LOW FLUID LEVEL INDICATOR CAME BACK ON. I CHECKED TO SEE THE LEVEL AND INDEED AGAIN IT WAS BELOW THE MINIMUM MARKER. AND AGAIN THERE IS NO INDICATION OF LEAKING ANYWHERE. THERE ARE NO POOLS OF FLUID ANYWHERE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT NOR UNDER THE VEHICLE. I PLAN TO TAKE THE TRUCK TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. SOME MOTION WAS USED TO VERIFY IF THE BREAKS WERE WORKING. ALL OF THIS OCCURRED IN THE GARAGE OR ON THE DRIVEWAY OF THE HOUSE.

THERE WAS NO SIGNS OF LEAKS AND ALL THE FLUID WENT INTO THE BOOSTER AND ENGINE, CAUSING A THICK CLOUD OF SMOKE I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND IT WAS TAKEN TO A FORD DEALER. THEY SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED BECAUSE I WAS JUST OVER THE WARRANTY PERIOD. IT IS COSTING ME OVER $800. I AM VERY LUCKY IT WASN'T A BAD ACCIDENT. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. ALL THE FLUID WENT INTO THE BOOSTER AND INTO THE ENGINE. THE FORD DEALER WILL HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION AND ARE REPAIRING IT NOW. I COULD ADD IT LATER IF NEEDED.

TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE

Mileage: 23,000

ON STARTING STATIONARY VEHICLE RECEIVED AUDIBLE WARNING OF LOW BRAKE FLUID. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. VEHICLE HAD BEEN DRIVEN NORMALLY 2 DAYS PRIOR WITH NO INDICATION. OPENED HOOD AND OBSERVED BRAKE FLUID IN RESERVOIR BELOW MIN. ADDED BRAKE FLUID TO BETWEEN MIN AND MAX. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN TO FLOOR. OBSERVED FLUID LEVEL LOWER WITHIN RESERVOIR, BUT NO FLUID OBSERVED COMING FROM VEHICLE. CONTINUED TO ADD FLUID, PUMP PEDAL AND OBSERVE FLUID DRAINING, BUT NO FLUID LEAK FOUND. TOTAL FLUID ADDED - 36 OZ. VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER. SERVICE DEPARTMENT CONCURRED WITH SELF-ASSESSMENT THAT MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND DRAINING FLUID WAS COLLECTING IN BRAKE BOOSTER HOUSING. SERVICE DEPARTMENT QUOTING $1000 TO REPAIR. VEHICLE 37 MONTHS OLD, 47000 MILES - JUST OUT OF WARRANTY. HAD VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN MOTION I FEEL CONFIDENT COLLISION WOULD HAVE OCCURRED / INJURIES LIKELY. MY GRAVEST CONCERN IS THAT FAILURE OF MAJOR SAFETY SYSTEM DID NOT HAVE ANY PRECURSOR NOR EXTERNAL SYMPTOMS. HARD FOR LOW AGE/LOW MILEAGE VEHICLE TO HOLD VALUE WITH THIS ISSUE.

Mileage: 47,000

WHILE HEADING TO THE DENTIST YESTERDAY I WAS DRIVING AND THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON, THOUGHT MAYBE A SENSOR FAULT AND KEPT DRIVING, NEXT THE BRAKE LIGHT INDICATOR IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER CAME ON. SO I PULLED OVER AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I BARELY STOPPED IN TIME BECAUSE THERE WAS A STOP SIGN. I POPPED THE HOOD AND THERE WAS NO FLUID IN THE MASTER CYLINDER. I LOCKED THE TRUCK UP AND WALKED 3 BLOCKS TO A ACE HARDWARE TO GET SOME MORE FLUID. I GOT BACK TO THE TRUCK AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS BUT DIDN'T FIND ANY. SO I FILLED UP THE FLUID AND PUMPED THE BRAKES, I HAD ENOUGH TO GET ME HOME SAFELY. WHEN I GOT HOME I CHECKED AGAIN AND FOUND THE FLUID TO BE ALL GONE AGAIN. THAT WAS WITHING A 5 MILE DISTANCE TO WHERE I FILLED IT UP LAST. I CHECKED FOR LEAKS ONCE AGAIN AND DIDN'T FIND ANY. SO I PULLED THE VACUUM SENSOR OFF THE BOTTOM OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID POURED OUT. THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED AND KEPT PUSHING THE BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BOOSTER.

ON JULY 18, 2019 VEHICLE (2016 FORD F150 WITH 51,721 MILES) DRIVEN UNDER HIGHWAY CONDITIONS EXPERIENCE A 'LOW BRAKE FLUID' WARNING FOLLOWED AFTERWARDS WITH COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SECURE THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE CONDITION. FORTUNATELY THE DRIVING SITUATION ALLOWED THE VEHICLE TO BE SECURED SAFELY. UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE THERE WERE NO INDICATION OF BRAKE FLUID LOSS THROUGH BROKEN BRAKE LINES OR SYSTEM LEAKAGE. SUBSEQUENTLY TRANSPORTED THE VEHICLE TO THE VEHICLE OUR ORIGINATING FORD DEALERSHIP, THE SHOP DIAGNOSTIC RESULT WAS THE 'FAILURE OF THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER REAR CUP SEAL'. ADDITIONAL DAMAGE INCLUDED THE BOOSTER PUMP DUE TO BRAKE FLUID CONTAMINATION. ISSUES: THIS IS THE SAME FAILURE TO WHICH FORD MOTOR PREVIOUSLY RECALLED 2013 - 2014 F150'S. AT 51K MILES, THE FAILURE OF A MASTER CYLINDER IS PREMATURE. DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, INSPECTION OF THE MASTER CYLINDER DOES NOT READILY LEAD TO INDICATION OF POTENTIAL FAILURE OR NEED FOR REPLACEMENT. THIS FAILURE COULD BE CATASTROPHIC UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS IF PROPER OPERATOR CONTROL IS NOT FOLLOWED - LOWER SPEED BY REDUCING GEARING AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKES. THE REPLACEMENTS ARE OEM FACTORY PARTS; POSSIBLY THE SAME MANUFACTURE AS THAT REPLACED WHICH COULD BE POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE FAILURE (THIS COULD NOT BE CLARIFIED BY THE FORD SHOP AT THE TIME OF THE WORK)! THE PRIMARY CONCERN OF COURSE POTENTIAL FOR RELAPSE OF THE SAME EVENT. SECONDARILY IS THE PREMATURE EXPENSE OF MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BOOSTER PUMP REPLACEMENT.

THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MURDO FORD (219 MAIN ST, MURDO, SD 57559, (605) 669-2391) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VACUUM BOOSTER SUCKED THE SEAL OUT OF THE MASTER CYLINDER AND ALL THE FLUID WENT TO THE BOOSTER. THE TECHNICIAN ADDED FLUID TO THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER AND DISCONNECTED THE BOOSTER. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AND LATER TOOK IT TO THUNDER BASIN FORD (1100 W 2ND ST, GILLETTE, WY 82716, (307) 682-4735), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED DUE TO THE LENGTH OF TIME IT WOULD TAKE FOR THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO JACKSON FORD OF DECATUR (455 E PERSHING RD, DECATUR, IL 62526, (844) 846-7281) WHERE A REPAIR APPOINTMENT WAS SCHEDULED.

WHILE DRIVING TO WORK A RED BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON THE DISPLAY AND I TRIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I HAD NO BRAKES. I PULLED OVER IN A SAFE SPOT CHECKED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR AND IT WAS COMPLETELY EMPTY. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND SMOKE STARTED POURING OUT OF THE EXHAUST. HAD IT TOWED TO A FORD/LINCOLN DEALER AND THEY SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED $890.00. THERE IS NO FORD RECALL FOR 2016 F150S WHICH IS UNBELIEVABLE SINCE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. DID SOME RESEARCH AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE LAWSUITS FOR THE SAME ISSUE ON 2013-2018 FORD F150S. I CALLED FORD HAD A HARD TIME UNDERSTANDING THE REP AND SHE CREATED A CASE NUMBER. CALLED THEM THE NEXT DAY AFTER SPEAKING WITH FORD DEALER AND THERE WAS NO CASE TO BE FOUND. THE SECOND FORD REP MADE A CASE # CAS22180343, WAS VERY HELPFUL AND THE REP SAID FORD WILL MAKE IT RIGHT. THIS REMAINS TO BE SEEN. MEANWHILE I'M WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I HAD A 2005 TOYOTA TACOMA AND NEVER HAD ANY TYPE OF ISSUES. HOPEFULLY THIS HELPS AND GETS FORD TO RECALL 2016 F150S SO NO ONE GETS HURT. ALSO HAD TO REPLACE ALL BRAKES, ROTORS AND PADS FOR $924.72 ON A 50K MILE VEHICLE IS VERY QUESTIONABLE. THANK YOU

I HAVE OWNED MY 2016 FORD F-150 SUPER CREW LARIAT FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS. I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW FROM A DEALER IN PALM BEACH COUNTY FLORIDA. I AM ON TOP OF MY ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AND HAVE JUST HAD MY TRUCK SERVICED 3 WEEKS AGO. ON 7/20/19 MY TRUCK'S BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED WHILE DRIVING FROM MY HOUSE ON A RESIDENTIAL ROAD. I HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP MY VEHICLE FROM GOING THROUGH A STOP SIGN. THANKFULLY, I WAS NOT INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY MASTER CYLINDER HAD LOST ALL ITS FLUID BUT THERE WERE NO SIGNS OF LEAKS. I ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND I COULD SEE IT LEAVING THE RESERVOIR. IT APPEARS TO BE LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER.

VEHICLE OPERATING NORMALLY UNTIL PROBLEM NOTED 7/13/2016. VEHICLE PURCHASED USED FROM CERTIFIED FORD DEALERSHIP ON 5/16/2018. CURRENTLY HAS APPROXIMATELY 44,800 MILES ON ODOMETER. VEHICLE HAS BEEN PARKED OVERNIGHT AND UPON AM STARTUP AND BACKING UP SUFFERED COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY WHEN BRAKES WERE APPLIED. LOW BRAKE RESERVOIR INDICATOR LIGHT ON. VISUAL CHECK REVEALED RESERVOIR LEVEL WELL BELOW MINIMUM MARK AND LEVEL WITH INLETS FOR THE BRAKE LINES. REFILLED, PUMPED BRAKES AND ABLE TO OBTAIN MODERATELY FIRM PEDAL. STARTED VEHICLE, LET IDLE FEW MOMENTS, TESTED BRAKE PEDAL BUT FOUND SOFT PEDAL AGAIN SINKS IMMEDIATELY TO FLOOR AND RESERVOIR LIGHT ON AGAIN. VISUAL CHECK SHOWS FLUID AGAIN HAS EMPTIED AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN MOVED. A VISUAL TRACE OF ALL BRAKE LINES SHOWS NO EXTERNAL LEAKAGE ALONG LENGTH OF THE LINES NOR AT ANY BRAKE COMPONENT. FLUID IS OBVIOUSLY BEING DRAWN INTO THE VACUUM BOOST RESERVOIR. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN ALTERED IN ANY WAY FROM DATE OF PURCHASE. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY ISSUE WITH A HIGH PROBABILITY OF LOSS OR LIFE AND/OR SEVERE INJURY TO PASSENGERS AND/OR COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES OR OBJECTS DUE TO THIS SUDDEN, TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. THIS IS A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE MASTER CYLINDER SYSTEM THAT PRODUCES A FAILURE OF THE REDUNDANT BRAKING ARRANGEMENT (I.E. SEPARATE FRONT AND REAR BRAKE SYSTEMS). THIS APPEARS FROM A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH OF OTHER COMPLAINTS TO BECOMING A KNOWN PROBLEM. PROMPT ACTION IS URGED BY NHTSA TO INITIATE A RECALL TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEM FOR OBVIOUS SAFETY REASONS.

APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 MINUTES LATER I STEPPED ON THE BRAKE AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. THE FIRST TIME I PRESSED IT SLOWED THE VEHICLE SLIGHTLY. I IPRESSED ON THE BRAKE AGAIN AND IT DID NOT REGISTER. IT WAS TERRIFYING AND I FELT FORTUNATE TO BE ABLE TO MAKE IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITHOUT COLLISION. THIS HAPPENED ON A MAJOR CITY STREET MOVING ABOUT 40 MPH.

I WAS PARKED AT A RETAIL STORE WHEN THE CHECK BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CMAE ON. I CHECK THE FLUID AND IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I PURCHASE FLUID AND REPLACED IT AND DROVE HOME ABOUT TWO MILES AWAY. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THE LIGHT CAME ON AGIN AND THE PEDAL WAS GOING TO THE FLOOR WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKES. I CALLED MY MECHANIC (WHO WORKS FOR FORD) AND HE SAID TO CHECK BECAUSE HE THOUGHT THERE MIGHT BE A RECALL ON THE BRAKES. THERE IS NOT ONE BUT THERE ARE A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS ON THE ISSUE. IT IS SO BAD THE MASTER CYLINDER IS ON BACK ORDER WITH NO TIMEFRAME GIVEN ON WHEN IT WILL COME IN. I ALSO CANNOT GET AN AFTER MARKET PART FROM SOMEONE ELSE DUE TO BACKORDERS. IT IS OBVIOUS THERE IS A MASS PROBLEM THAT FORD IS IGNORING A SAFETY ISSUE.

HAD I TAKEN THE NEXT EXIT I WOULD HAVE ENTERED A BUSY MULTIPLE LANE HIGHWAY SYSTEM FROM AN ELEVATED OVERPASS. VERY LIKELY WOULD HAVE BEEN A MAJOR ACCIDENT WITH HIGH LIKELIHOOD OF INJURY. THIS IS A WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. RECENT SERVICE. NO WRECKS. NO BRAKE FLUID SEEN WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PARKED PRIOR TO TODAY'S EVENT. ABSOLUTELY, NO WARNING.

Mileage: 81,000

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AND ON MY WAY ABOUT 7 MILES INTO MY DRIVE, I RECEIVED A NOTICE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATING MY BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW, I CLICK THE OK BUTTON AND CONTINUED DRIVING, UMMIEDIATELY UPON COMING TO THE NEXT LIGHT TO STOP MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AS I PRESSED HARD TO STOP, THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP AND I RAN THE RED LIGHT BUT MAKING A TURN AND NEARLY HITTING ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK CAMED TO A ROLLING STOP AND I PRESSED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND STOPPED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS TRUCK I PURCHASED LAST YEAR IN FEBRUARY OF 2018 AND HAS ONLY 32,000 MILES BUT FORD SAID THE TRUCK WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED AND THE COST WAS $1235.41. I AM FIGHTING FORD AND HAD OPENED A CASE BUT THEIR INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THEY ARE NOT AT FAULT! I AM HERE TO SEE IF NHTSA CAN HAVE THEM RECALL THEIR BRAKES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE BRAKES FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. ALSO, 'LOW FLUID' DISPLAYED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS CAUTIOUSLY DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER WERE FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,767.

Mileage: 68,767

CAME TO A STOP SIGN AND EVERYTHING WORKED, AT THE NEXT STOP SIGN IT WAS AS IF SOMEONE FLIPPED A SWITCH (RESIDENTIAL AREA WITH MANY INTERSECTIONS). MY BRAKE PEDAL WOULD SINK TO THE FLOOR AND COULD BARELY STOP THE TRUCK. HOWEVER IF SLAMMING THE BRAKES THE ABS WOULD FUNCTION AND STOP THE TRUCK AS EXPECTED. INSPECTED BRAKE SYSTEM AND FLUID LEVEL WAS ABOVE MINIMUM IN THE RESERVOIR AND FOUND NO EXTERNAL LEAKING OF BRAKE FLUID (FAILURE WAS INTERNAL TO THE MASTER CYLINDER). TOWED BACK HOME AND ISOLATED MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND IT TO BE THE ISSUE. REPLACED MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKES FUNCTION PROPERLY AGAIN. (WHEN I REMOVED THE MASTER THE BOOSTED STILL HELD VACUUM AND FLUID WAS NOT LEAKING INTO BOOSTER. )

Mileage: 36,538

LEFT MY HOME THIS MORNING AND APPROACHED A STOP SIGN AND ALMOST LOST COMPLETE BRAKING ON MY VEHICLE. BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIRM BUT ALMOST NO STOPPING ABILITY. BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR IS FULL AND BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.

AFTER DRIVING FOR ON FOR ABOUT AN HOUR I PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY AND MY BRAKE PEDDLE WENT VERY SOFT. BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING AND MY BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON. I GO THE TRUCK STOPPED (SLOWLY) AND CHECKED FLUID - VIRTUALLY EMPTY. I NURSED THE TRUCK TO A SERVICE STATION FILLED FLUID DROVE ABOUT 7 MILES SLOWLY TO HOME AND LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. PULLED IN FLUID WAS GONE. FOUND THAT THE FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE BOOSTER CYLINDER. HAVE TO REPLACE THE MASTER AND BOOSTER CYLINDER. THIS APPEARS TO BE AN OPEN INVESTIGATION AND IT NEEDS TO BE ELEVATED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT EASILY.

Mileage: 67,000

MY 2016 FORD F150 HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WITH OUT WARNING, THIS ALMOST RESULTED IN A MAJOR VEHICLE ACIDENT. THE OCCURED ON A BUSY STREET WITH OUT WARNING THE TRUCK LOST ALL BRAKING AND ABILITY TO STOP.

Mileage: 47,000

ON 05/11/19 WHILE DRIVING I EXPERIENCED NEARLY COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE DUE TO THE MASTER CYLINDER RUPTURING. SEQUENTIALLY THE LEAKING BRAKE FLUID DRAINED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED. AS THIS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT WAS QUITE MIRACULOUS NO ONE WAS INJURED.

Mileage: 43,740

I WENT TO DRIVE INTO MY GARAGE AND PUSHED THE BRAKE TO STOP AND THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. I PUSHED AS HARD AS I COULD AND IT FINALLY STOPPED JUST BEFORE I HIT THE BACK OF THE GARAGE. IT ALSO HAPPENED THEN I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY GARAGE. SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I WAS ON THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC. I WAS GOING SLOW AT THE TIME. SOMETIMES THE BRAKE WILL BE VERY STIFF TO PUSH ALSO. THE PEDDLE WILL BARELY DEPRESS. LIKE THERE IS NO POWER BRAKES. NO WARNING LIGHTS COME ON IN ANY OF THESE SITUATIONS. THERE IS NO WARNING AT ALL. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

Mileage: 40,000

BRAKES FAILED AND IT IS RELATED TO THE BRAKE BOOSTER AND MASTER CYLINDER. HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH AT A COST OF $1500. MY UNDERSTANDING IS FORD IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT HAS NOT FIXED THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 92,000

I GOT UP STARTED MT TRUCK DROVE TO WORK AS NORMAL. GOT INTO MY TRUCK AFTER WORK STARTED IT AND THE BRAKE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE TRUCK WAS DIGGING MULTIPLE TIMES.

BRAKES HAVE FAILED ON MY 2016 F150. THE MASTER CYLINDER RESERVOIR HAS BEEN VERY LOW TWICE IN THE PAST 2 WEEKS. I FILLED IT COMPLETELY, TO FULL LINE, TWICE.

Mileage: 49,950

DRIVING DOWN A HILL WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES FOR AN UPCOMING STOP LIGHT AND THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. AT THE SAME TIME A "BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW" ALARM LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY DASH ALONG WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED SYMBOL. I HAD TO QUICKLY SHIFT MY TRANSMISSION TO MANUAL AND DOWN SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION FROM 6TH GEAR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FIRST GEAR TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN I CHECKED, THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS BELOW THE MINIMUM (MIN) LEVEL INDICATOR. I LATER FILLED THE RESERVOIR TO THE MAX LINE AND TESTED THE BRAKES. THE "BRAKE FLUID LOW LEVEL" WARNING LIGHT AND THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED LIGHT WENT AWAY AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I TESTED THE BRAKES AND THEY SEEMED TO BE WORKING. I THEN TESTED THE VEHICLE OUT IN A SAFE AREA AND WITHIN MINUTES THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AT THIS TIME I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND REFERRED TO THE FACTORY REPAIR MANUAL TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS FROM ANY OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE CALIPERS, BRAKE LINES OR MASTER CYLINDER. THE MANUAL RECOMMENDED CHECKING TO SEE IF ANY BRAKE FLUID WAS IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS NEARLY HALF FULL OF BRAKE FLUID. AT THIS POINT I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE FACTORY MANUAL. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH 2013-2016 FORD F-150'S AND THERE HAS BEEN A FACTORY RECALL ON THE 2013-2014 F-150'S (16V345000). I FEEL THAT IF I HAD NOT PUT THE VEHICLE IN MANUAL AND DOWNSHIFTED I WOULD NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AT THE INTERSECTION. EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

Mileage: 44,000

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED, THERE WAS A TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKE POWER AND THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER (GREENWAY FORD, 9001 E COLONIAL DR, ORLANDO, FL 32817, (407) 544-5252) WAS CONTACTED, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: RQ16001 (SERVICE BRAKES, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

Mileage: 40,000

WHILE ON THE FREEWAY, A WARNING MESSAGE ILLUMINATED ON THE CLUSTER "BRAKE FLUID LOW". CONCERNED, I CHECKED THE BRAKING FUNCTION A FEW TIMES SLOWING FROM MY CRUISING SPEED OF 78 MPH TO AROUND 55 MPH TO TEST THE BRAKING FUNCTION, AND ALL SEEMED WELL. I DECIDED TO CONTINUE THE REMAINING 15 MINUTES OF MY TRIP SINCE THE BRAKES SEEMED TO BE FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY AND THERE WAS NO TRAFFIC, AS IT WAS 4:30AM ON A SUNDAY MORNING, BUT I PROCEEDED WITH CAUTION. WHEN EXITING THE FREEWAY, I DECIDED TO BRAKE EARLY IN THE EVENT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, BUT AGAIN THE BRAKING FELT ABSOLUTELY NORMAL, NOT EVEN THE SLIGHTEST HINT OF ANY BRAKE LOSS. I THEN TRAVELED ABOUT 11 MILES WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET TO 65 MPH, THERE WAS NO NEED FOR STOPPING OR SLOWING AT ANY POINT DURING THIS STRETCH. NEARING MY TURN, I AGAIN DECIDED IT WOULD BE BEST TO REMAIN CAUTIOUS AND BRAKE EARLY. IT WAS AT THIS POINT THAT I COULD TELL SOMETHING WAS WRONG, AS THE BRAKE PEDAL HAD VERY LITTLE STOPPING POWER AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, ONLY SLOWING FROM 65 MPH TO ABOUT 25 MPH OVER A DISTANCE APPROACHING A QUARTER MILE. AFTER THIS, THE BRAKES WERE COMPLETELY OUT AT THIS POINT. I HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH MOVING TRUCKS WITH NO BRAKES, USING ONLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, SO I FELT CONFIDENT CONTINUING THE SHORT DISTANCE TO MY HOME USING SLOW SPEEDS (>15 MPH), MANUALLY SHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION FOR ENGINE BRAKING AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE HOME WITH NO INCIDENT. INSPECTED BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR, FOUND IT WAS EMPTY BUT FOUND NO SIGN OF A LEAK. I FIGURED THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED INTERNALLY, WHICH THE DEALER CONFIRMED. BOTH PARTS NEEDED FOR REPAIR WERE ON A NATIONAL BACK-ORDER, UNAVAILABLE FROM FORD. A LITTLE SEARCH ON GOOGLE REVEALS THIS FAILURE IS COMMON ON 2013-16 F-150. DEALER LOCATED PARTS FROM OTHER DEALERS STOCK, BUT VEHICLE WAS OUT OF SERVICE 10 DAYS.

Mileage: 39,815

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING EXCEPT FOR A PERIOD OF SECONDS DURING WHICH "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. VEHICLE WAS OPERATING NORMALLY AT ALL TIMES PRIOR TO EVENT. 38,111 MILES ON VEHICLE. APPROX. 4 MILE DRIVE TO HIGHWAY, BRAKES WORKING NORMALLY. WHILE TRAVELING 70MPH (THE LEGAL LIMIT THERE), WARNING LIGHT APPEARED. I IMMEDIATELY TAPPED BRAKES AND FOUND THAT PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. MANAGED TO GET TO SHOULDER WITHOUT ACCIDENT. DROVE GINGERLY TO SERVICE STATION TO EXAMINE. NO LEAKAGE AT CALIPERS, ON ROTORS OR FROM ANY BRAKE LINES. BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR EMPTY. HAD BEEN FULL PREVIOUSLY AND VEHICLE WELL MAINTAINED. I FILLED RESERVOIR WITH DOT APPROPRIATE BRAKE FLUID, NO CHANGE IN BRAKING ABILITY. WITH PUMPING OF PEDAL, NO EFFECT. WITH PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR, VEHICLE EXHIBITED EXTREMELY ATTENUATED BRAKING (TOOK WELL OVER 30 FEET TO SLOW FROM 10 MPH TO ZERO). TRUCK TO FORD SERVICE DEPARTMENT/BAY. THEY TOLD ME THAT "WE SEE ONE OF THESE ABOUT EVERY WEEK" WHICH I FOUND SHOCKING. THEY RAPIDLY DIAGNOSED PROBLEM AS MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE WITH BLEED OF FLUID INTO BOOSTER SYSTEM (WHICH IS WHY NO PRESSURE, BUT NO LEAKAGE OF FLUID EXTERNALLY). THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BOOSTER. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY, I DID NOT INJURE OR KILL ANYONE WHEN BRAKES FAILED AT HIGHWAY SPEED.

BEING THE DRIVER OF A 2016 F-150 CREW CAB 4X4 WITH 3.5 ECO BOOST MOTOR. I HAVE BEEN NOW BEEN INVOLVED IN TWO BRAKE FAILURE RELATED COLLISIONS. ONE ON JUNE 20, 2017 AND THE OTHER THIS YEAR ON JULY 3RD. THE FIRST BRAKE RELATED COLLISION WAS ON JUNE 20TH, 2017. I WAS STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT BEHIND SOME OTHER CARS WAITING ON LIGHT TO CHANGE. NEXT THING I KNOW I FEEL A SLIGHT BUMP HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME SO I GO TO HIT THE BRAKE AGAIN AND INADVERTENTLY HIT THE ACCELERATOR ENDING UP PUSHING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME INTO THE CAR IN FRONT OF IT. WHICH CAUSED A 3 VEHICLE ACCIDENT THAT DAY. NOW THIS JULY 3RD I WAS INVOLVED IN A MUCH SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO BRAKE FAILURE. I WAS DRIVING IN FAR LEFT LANE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT THAT WAS RED AND CARS IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED AHEAD. I WENT TO HIT MY BRAKES TO STOP AND THE TRUCK KEPT ON GET GOING IN A FORWARD MOTION WITHOUT ANY INDICATION THE BRAKES WERE WORKING. I TRIED TO DIRECT TRUCK TO THE LEFT SIDE MEDIAN TO AVOID A COLLISION AND WHILE IN FORWARD MOTION I MADE IMPACT WITH THE CAR IN MIDDLE PUSHING IT INTO THE FIRST CAR UP FRONT THAT WAS INVOLVED IN MY SECOND ACCIDENT. MY TRUCK'S MIDDLE AND RIGHT FRONT MADE CONTACT WITH CAR IN FRONT OF ME HARD ENOUGH TO PUNCTURE GAS TANK ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THAT CAR WITH MY FRONT MOUNTED TRAILER HITCH AND PUSH IT INTO THE 1ST CAR'S REAR END. MY DRIVERS SIDE STEERING WHEEL AIR BAG DEPLOYED HITTING ME IN THE STOMACH AREA AND SEAT BELT FASTER ON DRIVERS SIDE BRUISED MY RIGHT HIP, AND NECK ENDED UP WITH SOME MUSCLE STRAIN AS WELL.

100% BRAKE FAILURE AT HIGHWAY SPEED. FORD RECALLED PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS FOR THE SAME ISSUE BUT FAILED TO INFORM OWNERS OF LATER YEARS THAT HAD THE SAME PARTS INSTALLED. MY TRUCK WAS SERVICED AT THE FORD DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM 100 MILES BEFORE FAILURE. FORD SHOULD BE URGED TO RECALL AND REIMBURSE.

I DROVE MY TRUCK TO MY FARM WITHOUT INCIDENT. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A WHILE, MY SON-IN-LAW GOT IN TO DRIVE TO A WORK AREA AND IMMEDIATELY REPORTED THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY, EVEN THOUGH I HAD RECENTLY HAD THE LEVEL CHECKED AS "FULL" AT A CHANGE OF OIL AND FILTER. IT TOOK TWO LARGE BOTTLES OF BRAKE FLUID (AT OVER $8.00 EACH, JUST TO GET IT HOME (ABOUT 50 MILES). I HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES DURING THIS TRIP TO GET BRAKING ACTION AND DRIVE VERY CAREFULLY AND SLOWLY. THE DAY BEFORE THIS HAPPENED I HAD TOWED A SINGLE AXLE TRAILER WITH AN AGRICULTURAL DISC ON IT. HAD THIS QUICK LOSS OF BRAKES OCCURRED AT THAT TIME, IT LIKELY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE, AND EVEN DEATH. THE SHOP WHERE I TOOK IT REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER, THE POWER BOOSTER, WHICH HAD FILLED WITH FLUID, AND AN O2 SENSOR, WHICH HAD BEEN DAMAGED. THE TOTAL COST WAS $1194.34. SINCE ALL THE PARTS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW FORD BRAND PARTS, THERE IS A LIKELIHOOD THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE AND MERITS A RECALL, AS WELL AS REIMBURSEMENT TO ME OF MY EXPENSES.

HE LET OF THE GAS PREPARING TO VEER RIGHT ON THE 111 BYPASS, HIS BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND WHEN HE ATTEMPTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES HIS FOOT WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE WAS ABSOLUTELY ZERO THERE FOR HIM TO STOP THE TRUCK. LUCKILY THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 6 AM AND THERE WAS NO ONE ON THE ROAD AND IT WAS IN A PLACE THAT HE HAD ROOM AND TIME TO SHIFT DOWN AND DECREASE HIS SPEED AND PULL OVER. ONE MILE FURTHER AND THIS COULD HAVE HAD A VERY DIFFERENT ENDING. HE WAS ON HIS WAY TO PICK UP A BOAT.. SO THIS WAS THREE HOURS LATER THIS COULD HAVE HAD AN EXTREMELY DIFFERENT ENDING.

ON 6/2/18, AFTER A NIGHT'S STAY IN A WALMART PARKING LOT IN OUR 5TH WHEEL, OUR 2016 FORD 150 PICKUP SHOWED A LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK TO LEAVE. I PUT IN DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT SO WE LEFT. WE HAD TRAVELED ONLY A FEW MILES NORTH ON INTERSTATE 95 IN SOUTH CAROILINA WHEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING. ALTHOUGH WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND GOING 55-60 MPH, I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT TO ABOUT 5-10 MPH. THEN WITH BRAKE PEDAL DOWN TO FLOOR, I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY STOP OUR PICKUP AND TRAILING 5TH WHEEL. WE WERE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS DID REQUIRE EMERGENCY BRAKING. WE WERE ALSO FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ONLY 10 MILES FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP THAT DETERMIBED THAT THE TRUCK'S MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BOOSTER WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OUR TRIP WAS DELAYED TWO DAYS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND COST US OVER $750 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND LODGING. THIS HAPPENED ONLY 98 MILES PAST MY WARRANTY PERIOD! WHEN DOING SOME RESEARCH, I SEE THAT FORD RECALLED ITS 2014 AND 2015 F150'S FOR THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS. IT SURE SEEMS LIKE SOME ( IF NOT ALL) 2016S ARE HAVING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND HURT OR KILLED. I AM VERY NERVOUS NOW DRIVING THIS TRUCK AND MY TRUST IN FORD PRODUCTS HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY DAMAGED. I URGE OTHER 2016 - NEW 150 OWNERS TO BE WATCHING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVELS CLOSELY.

Mileage: 36,098

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID, IT WAS WELL BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL. SINCE IT STOPPED OK, I THOUGHT WHEN I LEFT I COULD JUST DRIVE TO A STORE AND BUY BRAKE FLUID. WHEN I GOT IN THE TRUCK 30 MINUTES LATER AND STARTED IT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. PUTTING IN DRIVE I FOUND THAT THERE WERE NO BRAKES AT ALL AND USED THE FOOT EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. I GOT A RIDE TO A CAR PARTS STORE WHERE I BOUGHT 32 OZ. BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID. I POURED MORE THAN HALF THE BOTTLE INTO THE RESERVOIR GETTING IT UP TO THE MAX LINE, STARTED THE VEHICLE, PUMPED THE BRAKES AND GOT BRAKE PRESSURE BACK. I DROVE BACK TO MY CAMPSITE WHICH WAS 1.5 MILES AWAY. HALFWAY THERE THE LOW BRAKE FLUID INDICATOR CAME ON AGAIN. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AFTER 1.5 MILES, THE BRAKES WERE ALMOST USELESS AND THERE WAS VERY LITTLE PRESSURE UNDER THE PEDAL. I PARKED THE TRUCK AND CHECK THE FLUID, AGAIN IT WAS WELL BELOW MINIMUM AND I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A VACUUM LEAK. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR UP TO ALMOST MAX AGAIN, PUMPED THE BRAKES, GOT PRESSURES BACK AND LOOKED FOR ANY LEAKS UNDER THE TRUCK AND FOUND NONE. I PULLED THE TRUCK BACK AND FORTH, ABOUT A 100 FEET, REPEATEDLY TO SEE IF I COULD SEE A LEAK - NOTHING, BUT THE LEVEL IN THE RESERVOIR WAS GOING DOWN. I DROVE THE TRUCK IN AROUND A 1/4 MILE CIRCLE AND BY THE END THE BRAKE PEDDLE HAD LOST MOST OF IT'S PRESSURE, STILL NO LEAKS UNDER THE TRUCK. WHEN IT GOT TOWED THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS NO STOPPING POWER AT ALL. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY OR MORE HIGH SPEED ROAD OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'M SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION OF BRAKE FAILURE ON SOME YEARS OF THESE TRUCKS.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON FREEWAYS WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED, IF THE VEHICLE APPROACHES A VEHICLE IN AN ADJACENT LANE (TYPICALLY A LARGER VEHICLE LIKE A TRUCK WITH A TRAILER, SEMI, OR TANKER) THE COLLISION AID ACTIVATES AND HEAVILY APPLIES THE BRAKES. IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND ME, AS HAS HAPPENED IN AT LEAST 4 INSTANCES, THE INDIVIDUAL WILL NEED TO STOP AND MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER TO AVOID COLLIDING. IN BOTH CASES, THE BRAKING ONLY LASTED MOMENTARILY BUT WAS ENOUGH TO REDUCE THE VEHICLES SPEED 20-30 MPH DURING THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY FORD BUT THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. FOR THE TIME BEING, WE KEEP THIS FEATURE DISABLED UNTIL FORD CAN GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR PREVIOUS YEARS BUT OURS IS NOT INCLUDED. BECAUSE OF THIS FORD HAS SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ON MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED.

THIS MORNING 5/16/2018 AT 7:30 AM CDT, WHILE TAKING MY 6 YEAR OLD SON TO SCHOOL, MY 2016 FORD F-150 PRODUCED A "BRAKE FLUID LOW" WARNING LIGHT. THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS SEVERELY COMPROMISED AND THE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I ADDED 54 OZ OF BRAKE FLUID TO GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE WARNING LIGHT CONTINUED TO APPEAR. AS I WAS DRIVING I HAD TO GO INTO MANUAL MODE TO DOWNSHIFT TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN SO I COULD BRAKE VEHICLE TO A STOP. FULL SPEED BRAKING WAS IMPOSSIBLE. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A FORD DEALER - THEY DETERMINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING AND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH PRIOR MODEL YEAR RECALLS FOR THIS TRUCK AND ENGINE TYPE (3.5L V6 ECOBOOST). VEHICLE HAS 45K MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, SO OUT OF POCKET COSTS ARE ROUGHLY $1100. SERVICE RECORDS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE TOMORROW WHEN THE WORK IS COMPLETE. I CAN UPLOAD THEM AT THAT TIME.

ON MAY 4TH MY BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED. LUCKILY I DISCOVERED THIS WHEN I GOT INTO MY TRUCK TO START IT UP FROM WORK. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I POPPED THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR EMPTY. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

I EXPERIENCED 100% BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2016 FORD F150 3.5L V6. I STARTED MY VEHICLE APPRX 530AM ON 4/30/18 TO DRIVE TO WORK. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE A "LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL" MESSAGE APPEARED. I WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY SURE WHAT TO THINK. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND AS I ROLLED DOWN MY SLOPED DRIVEWAY AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL - THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY STOPPING CAPABILITY. I COASTED TO A STOP WITHOUT INCIDENT. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS VERY LOW, WELL BELOW THE MINIMUM MARK ON THE RESERVOIR. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER. UPON RESEARCH IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS SAME MODEL TRUCK HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE BRAKE FLUID DRAINING TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. I DO NOT KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT MY ISSUE IS. I SHOULD FIND OUT TOMORROW WHEN THE FORD MECHANICS CAN LOOK OVER THE TRUCK.

BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY CEASED WORKING AT RANDOM TIMES. THREE TIMES TOTAL: THE VEHICLE WILL BE IN MOTION (AT VARYING SPEEDS) AND WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. ONE TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY FOR SLOW TRAFFIC - I WAS FORCED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. ANOTHER TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. THE THIRD TIME I WAS DECELERATING AND TRYING TO BRAKE TO TAKE A HARD RIGHT TURN AND THE BRAKES DIDNT WORK; FORTUNATELY THE I WAS ALREADY AT A REDUCED RATE OF SPEED AND THE HARD TURN IN SLOWED THE VEHICLE ENOUGH THAT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN. BUT THE TRUCK TRAVELED THROUGH MY LANE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY NO CARS WERE WAITING AT THAT INTERSECTION.

JUST A SIDE NOTE. MY BROTHER IN-LAW HAS THE SAME EXACT TRUCK AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION ABOUT A YEAR AGO. AT THAT TIME THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND HAS SEEMED TO SOLVE HIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS. SOME HAVE HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED. I SUGGESTED THIS TO THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP, SERVICE WRITER HAS DECLINED TO REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER SINCE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM OR FIND ANY LEAKS.

AS A FORD OWNER WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED OF POSSIBLE BRAKE ISSUES WITH MY F150? I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE AIRPORT ON SUNDAY MORNING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN A LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT BRAKE FLUID. I TESTED MY BRAKES. THEY WORKED. I CONTINUED CAUTIOUSLY TO MY EXIT. FOR WHATEVER REASON (GRACE OF GOD) I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS WHEN I GOT OFF ON THE OFF THE EXIT. AS I NEARED THE STOP LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKE, I FOUND I DIDNT HAVE ANY!!!! THE E BRAKE BARELY STOPPED ME. HAD I NOT DECELERATED WHEN I DID I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP! I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!!! WHEN I CALLED FORD THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANY ISSUES!!! I PULL A TRAVEL TRAILER AND HAD A TRIP PLANNED THIS UPCOMING WEEK. HAD THIS HAPPENED THEN THE OUTCOME COULD'VE BEEN HORRIFIC! HOW CAN I TRUST THAT ONCE THE VEHICLE IS FIXED IT IS SAFE? IM AFRAID TO TAKE MY GRAND KIDS IN MY CAR! HOW CAN I TRUST FORD WHEN THEY WEREN'T UP FRONT ABOUT THE SITUATION TO BEGIN WITH. DO WE WAIT FOR FATALITIES BEFORE WE DO SOMETHING? WHAT'S MY RECOURSE? I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A STRONG FORD SUPPORTER (MY MOM RETIRED FROM FORD) BUT AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED BY FORD AND BY ANY AND ALL AGENCIES THAT GOVERN NOTIFICATIONS OF SUCH ISSUES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE WEB SURFING TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE ISSUES. I HAVE A BRAND NEW RIG FOR A REASON AND AM PAYING FOR IT WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT I CAN FEEL SAFE IN MY RIG!

THE TRUCK JUST TURNED 10,000 AND NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE VERY SOFT AND IT REQUIRES PUSHING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE BRAKES TO ACTIVATE. GENTLE DRIVING, REGULAR SERVICE, NOT A FLUID ISSUE. THIS TRUCK HAS THE 2.7 ECOBOOST ENGINE.

AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 MONTH, THE BREAKS FAILED ON ME WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN BEFORE PULLING OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY.

I LOOKED FOR A RECALL STATUS AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE, BUT NO RECALL BEING ISSUED. I AM TERRIFIED TO USE THE VEHICLE NOW AND I AM NOW STUCK WITH IT FOR A MINIMUM OF THE NEXT 6YRS TILL IT'S PAID OFF. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON A FAMILY VACATION TOWING A 6000 POUND TRAILER (WHAT THIS VEHICLE IS INTEND FOR IN MY FAMILY) MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIED! NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $35K VEHICLE, NOT FEELING SAFE TAKING OUR FAMILY VACATIONS AND MY $17K CAMPER JUST SITS HERE UNUSED BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A SAFE VEHICALE TO USE FOR TOWING.

I AGREED TO PURCHASE THIS F150 ON 1/27/2016 BUT REQUESTED THAT THE MUSHY BRAKES BE REPAIRED FIRST (PEDAL GOES TO FLOOR). WENT BACK TO DEALER 1/27 TO COMPLETE PAPERWORK AND PICK UP REPAIRED TRUCK. WAS TOLD THAT THE TRUCK WAS CHECKED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. AND THAT BRAKES WERE NORMAL. I COMPLETED THE PAPERWORK BUT LEFT THE TRUCK THERE TO BE CHECKED BY THE SERVICE DEPT. AGAIN THE NEXT MORNING. I GOT A PHONE CALL THE NEXT MORNING SAYING THE BRAKES HAD BEEN FIXED AND THE TRUCK WAS READY FOR PICKUP. WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE DEALERSHIP I WENT TO THE TRUCK AND PRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TOLD THAT IT HAD BEEN CHECKED BY FOUR SERVICE TECHS AND ALL AGREED THAT THE BRAKES WERE FINE. THEY ALSO GAVE ME A SERVICE REPORT SAYING THE BRAKE OPERATION WAS NORMAL. I TOOK THE TRUCK HOME THAT AFTERNOON SINCE IT DIDN'T APPEAR THAT THIS SERVICE DEPT WAS NOT QUALIFIED . ON 1/31 I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A DIFFERENT DEALER. THEY SAID THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS BY-PASSING AND ORDERED A NEW ONE. IT CAME IN THE NEXT DAY AND I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR REPAIR. AFTER THE TRUCK WAS "REPAIRED" I GOT IN THE TRUCK TO HEAD BACK HOME. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WENT BACK IN AND REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE SAME AS BEFORE. AFTER DISCUSSIONS, THE SERVICE DEPT GOT A NEW TRUCK OFF OF THE SALES LOT AND SHOWED ME THAT THIS BREAK PEDAL ALSO WENT TO THE FLOOR, SO THIS PEDAL OPERATION WAS NORMAL. I TOOK MY TRUCK AND RETURNED HOME. NOW I HAVE A VERY EXPENSIVE TRUCK THAT I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE. AFTER AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR MUSHY BRAKES I FIND THAT THERE ARE MANY OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED MYFORD AND TOLD THERE WERE NO OTHER REPORTS ON THIS. THEY SUGGESTED TAKING THE TRUCK TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THIS THIRD DEALER SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE TRUCK FOR 5 DAYS BEFORE THEY COULD EVEN LOOK AT IT. I DID NOT LEAVE IT.

THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON IMMEDIATELY AND LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT WAS ALSO ON. THE FORD DEALER CONFIRMED UPON REPAIR THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER DUMPED MOST OR ALL OF MY BRAKE FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THEY REPAIRED THE ISSUE, BUT USED THE SAME FACTORY PARTS MY TRUCK WAS MADE WITH. WHAT'S TO SAY THIS WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN???

WHILE ON THE ROAD, BEGAN TO NOTICE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVEL WAS SOFTER AND CLOSER TO THE FLOOR BEFORE ANY BRAKING ACTION OCCURRED. STOPPED AT THE LAST RED LIGHT BEFORE ARRIVING HOME. WHILE SITTING AT THE LIGHT, I STEADILY PRESSED HARDER ON THE PEDAL, AND IT REACHED THE FLOOR. PULLED INTO DRIVEWAY AND DUPLICATED THE SAME TEST. WHEN PURCHASED NEW, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY SENSITIVE TO THE TOUCH, AND BRAKING WAS QUICK TO REACT. WE HAD TO ADAPT TO THAT SO AS NOT TO THROW OURSELVES FORWARD IN OUR SEATS WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES. BUT THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE NOW. THE ISSUE NOW IS ONE OF FEELING THE BRAKES CAN NOT BE TRUSTED, SO MUCH SO THAT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE FIXED. TRUCK IS IN FOR SERVICE AS I TYPE. DEALER SAYS THEY HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE WHAT I'VE REPORTED. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE NORM IN MANY CONSUMER COMPLAINTS I'VE RESEARCHED FROM OWNERS OF THIS VERY SAME VEHICLE, WITH MUCH OF THE SAME BRAKING ISSUES. SOME OF THOSE COMPLAINTS MENTIONED MINOR ACCIDENTS, AND OTHER EVASIVE ACTIONS NEEDED TO AVOID DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY. MEANWHILE, I'M WAITING FOR DEALER'S NEXT RESPONSE.

I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND IT WAS EMPTY, SO I INSPECTED ALL AROUND UNDER THE TRUCK AND FOUND NO LEAKS OR SIGNS OF LEAKING. 3 DAYS BEFORE THIS I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND COMPLAINED THE BRAKES WERE STARTING TO MAKE SOME NOISE AND DIDNT FEEL QUIT RIGHT, THEY SAID ITS PROBABLY DUST AND BRAKES ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY SO YOU WILL NEED TO PAY TO HAVE THEM CHECKED OUT.

IN NOVEMBER 2016 JUST 8 MONTHS AFTER OUR TRUCK WAS PURCHASED MY HUSBAND WAS TRYING TO STOP AT A RED LIGHTIN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND DI'D NOT STOP, THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK. LUCKILY THERE WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT OR INJURY THIS TIME. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO FORD IN GRAPEVINE AND THEY TOLD US THE MASTER CYLINDER IN THE. TAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED SO THEY REPLACED IT. 3 MONTHS LATER IN MARCH 2017 MY HUSBAND WAS IN TRAFFIC TURNING AT A LIGHT TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY, TRAFFIC CAME TO A STOP AND HE TRIED TO STOP AND AGAIN THE BRAKES WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE GROUND AND THEY DIDN'T WORK NOR DID THEY STOP THE VEHICLE. THIS TIME HE REAR ENDED A LADY IN AN SUV. HE SAID HE HAD PLENTY OF TIME TO STOP AND WAS LUCKILY GOING AT A REDUCED SPEED BUT STILL WAS UNABLE TO STOP OR SLOW BEFORE COLLIDING WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE DUE TO BRAKE MALFUNCTION. THE TRUCK IS NOW AT GRAPEVINE FORD AGAIN AND WE HAVE YET BEEN TOLD WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. BOTH TIMES THESE INCIDENTS OCCURRED THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS, NOTHING THAT WE NOTICED THAT COULD INDICATE AN ISSUE. WE HAVE HAD TONS OF OTHER ISSUES WITH THIS TRUCK, DRIVERS SIDE SEATBELT BROKE, AIR CONDITIONING UNIT BROKE, SKYLINK SYSTEM SHORTED AND BRAKE FAILURE. WE HAVE BEEN REFUSED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BY FORD AND ARE CURRENTLY DEALING WITH LAWYERS BUT THAT COULD TAKE 3 MORE MONTHS. I AM FURIOUS THAT NO CONSIDERATION HAS BEEN GIVEN TO ME AND MY FAMILY OVER THESE ISSUES. HAVE THEY FIXED OUR VEHICLE? SURE, BUT I AM TERRIFIED TO PUT MY BABIES IN THIS TRUCK EVER AGAIN NO MATTER FIXED OR NOT. THE NEXT TIME WE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY AND I CAN NOT TAKE THAT CHANCE. THIS IS A WORK AND FAMILY VEHICLE AND OUR WORK/FINANCES HAVE BEEN SEVERELY COMPROMISED AS WE PAY A LOT OF MONEY FOR THIS TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING, I EXPERIENCED A SUDDEN LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY IN A FORD F-150 2016 3.5L V6 ECOBOOST WITH 10,600 MILES ON THE ENGINE. PEDAL, WHEN PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, PROVIDED SOME ABILITY TO SLOW DOWN IN GREAT LENGTH, BUT NO ABILITY TO COMPLETE STOP IN A TIMELY MANNER. *TR

THE BRAKE PEDAL IS GOING ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE AND NO WARNINGS ON THE DASH. IT STARTED ON 12-14-2016 AND HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES BETWEEN THE 14TH AND THE 17TH. SINCE THEN THEY APPEAR TO BE WORKING AS DESIGNED. WHEN THEY WERE ACTING UP WITH THE TRUCK IN PARK OR MOVING I COULD PUSH THE PEDDLE ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. *TR

I RECENTLY PURCHASED A NEW 2016 FORD F150 XLT 2.7L ECOBOOST TRUCK. ON DECEMBER 6, 2016 I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT THIS TRUCK DID NOT ADEQUATELY STOP IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WITH AMPLE STOPPING DISTANCE. I HAVE DRIVEN TRUCKS OF THIS SAME SIZE TOWING A BOAT AND UNDER AN EMERGENCY SITUATIONS GOING DOWNHILL AND HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP WITH LESS DISTANCE THAN I HAD WITH THIS TRUCK TOWING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. I WAS NOT SPEEDING AND ONLY TRAVELING BETWEEN 30 TO 35 MILES AN HOUR ON A FOUR LANE HIGHWAY WHICH IS CURRENTLY UNDER CONSTRUCTION, THE SPEED LIMIT FOR THIS AREA IS 45 RIGHT NOW BECAUSE OF THIS CONSTRUCTION. I WAS TRAVELING IN THE LEFT HAND LANE PLANNING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A ROAD THAT WAS A FEW MILES AWAY AT A MAIN INTERSECTION. SEVERAL VEHICLES AHEAD OF ME SOME INDIVIDUAL DECIDED THEY WERE GOING TO JUST MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN TO GET TO A STREET CLEAR ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY CAUSING EVERYONE BEHIND THEM TO SLAM ON THEIR BRAKES, HAVING TWO TO THREE CAR LENGTHS IN FRONT OF ME I HAD SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND THE TRUCK WAS SLOWING DOWN BUT NOT FAST ENOUGH SO THEN I PUT MY OTHER FOOT ON THE BRAKES AND STOOD ON THE BRAKES HOLDING THE STEERING WHEEL AND STILL THE TRUCK WAS NOT STOPPING ABSOLUTELY NO CHANGE IN THE RESPONSE OF IT BREAKING, KEEP IN MIND I WAY AROUND 235 LBS. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY BRAND NEW TRUCK WITHOUT EVEN HAVING ITS FIRST OIL CHANGE HAS FAILED TO STOP AND EVERY OTHER VEHICLE ON THE ROAD WITH LESS DISTANCE THAN ME WAS ABLE TO STOP . I WAS ALSO PONDERING IF THE ECOBOOST SYSTEM MAY HAVE CONTRIBUTED TO IT SOMEHOW WITH THE START AND STOPPING OF THE MOTOR CAUSING SOME SORT OF PRESSURE LOSS IN THE SYSTEM. I NO LONGER TRUST THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE DRIVEN FORD TRUCKS FOR OVER 20 YEARS. *TR

Mileage: 5,250

I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN JULY WITH 63 MILES ON IT. A MONTH OR SO LATER I NOTICED THE BRAKE PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I TOOK TO THE DEALER AND THEY LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD ME IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE PEDAL TO GO TO THE FLOOR UNDER PRESSURE BECAUSE THE SYSTEM CALCULATED HOW MUCH PRESSURE WAS NEEDED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. TODAY 12-6-2016 I WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WHEN STOPPING, WHILE THE TRUCK WAS STILL MOVING. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER THIS MORNING AND WILL HAVE TO WAIT AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY. I THINK IT IS A BAD MASTER CYLINDER AND THINK THE STORY ABOUT THE COMPUTER CONTROLLING THE BRAKES IS JUST TO GET ME OUT OF THE SHOP. *TR

THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND HAD TO PUMP THE BRAKES SEVERAL TIMES TO HAVE PRESSURE. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNALS. DROVE HOME CAREFULLY AND CUT OFF THE VEHICLE. RESTARTED THE TRUCK AGAIN AND HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS GETTTING READY TO GO OUT OF TOWN TOWING A 7000 POUND CAMPER. IF THE BRAKES HAD FAILED WHILE TOWING THE CAMPER IT COULD HAVE BEEN DEADLY. THE TRUCK WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED. READ ON LINE THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL ON THE 2013 & 2014 F-150S MASTER CYLINDER BUT NOT ON THE 2015 & 2016. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL !!!! I OWNED THE TRUCK FOR APPROXIMATELY 9 MONTHS AND IT HAD 9700 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS OCCURRED.

TO WHOM THIS MAY CONCERN, ON NOVEMBER 18TH WHILE DRIVING WITH MY THREE CHILDREN, THE BRAKES ON MY 2016 FORD F150 FAILED. WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, I PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT SLOWING. I VEERED THE TRUCK INTO THE LEFT TURN LANE IN ORDER TO AVOID REAR ENDING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE TRUCK SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP BY THE TIME I REACHED THE LIGHT. LUCKILY THERE WERE NOT ANY VEHICLES IN THE LEFT TURN LANE. ON 11/19/16, I TOOK THE TRUCK INTO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I WAS DISAPPOINTED TO FIND THAT MULTIPLE OWNERS HAVE ALREADY HAD THIS SAME ISSUE. I WOULD EXPECT SUCH A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH THE TRUCK WOULD ILLICIT A RECALL. THIS IS THE FOURTH FORD F150 VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. THIS TRUCK WAS AN EXPENSIVE VEHICLE AND I AM DISAPPOINTED TO HAVE HAD SUCH A SERIOUS MALFUNCTION AFTER DRIVING IT FOR ONLY 7,300 MILES. I AM EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTED IN THE COMPANY FOR BEING AWARE OF AN ISSUE AND NOT HAVING TAKEN ACTION. I HOPE THE NEW PART THAT HAS BEEN INSTALLED HAS BEEN REDESIGNED AND WILL NOT FAIL LIKE THE FIRST ONE DID. EVEN MORE SO, HOWEVER, I HOPE THAT THE FORD COMPANY WILL TAKE NOTE OF THIS ISSUE, ISSUE A RECALL, AND PREVENT OTHERS FROM THE DANGERS OF NONFUNCTIONING BRAKES.

MY THREE-MONTH-OLD 2016 FORD F150, HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT. I BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW, WITH 9 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. UP UNTIL FRIDAY, 11-18-16, IT HAD BEEN A PRETTY GOOD VEHICLE. ON THE AFOREMENTIONED DATE, WHEN APPROACHING A STOPLIGHT, I APPLIED THE BRAKES. MUCH TO MY DISMAY, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR & THE TRUCK DID NOT SLOW DOWN. COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS & REPAIR. THEY STILL HAVE IT & I'M IN A LOANER CAR. I ALSO NOW SEE THAT THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF THE SAME THING HAPPENING TO OTHER 2015/2016 FORD F150 TRUCKS. I WOULD THINK THIS TYPE OF A FAILURE WOULD BE DEEMED CATASTOPHIC, AS ONE COULD IMAGINE WHAT COULD HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING A VEHICLE AT ANY SPEED, AND NO WAY TO STOP IT.

ADVISED FORD GARAGE OF YOUR REPORT ON LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY, THEIR RESPONSE "YES WE KNOW BUT WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSE TO DO, JUST START REMOVING PARTS"?

2016 F-150 XLT 2.7L ECOBOOST MODEL. 6060 MILES ONLY! PARKED AS USUAL ON DRIVEWAY FACING DOWNGRADE. I ALWAYS ACTIVATE THE PARKING BRAKE DUE TO THE INCLINE OF THE DRIVEWAY. STARTED UP TRUCK TO WARM WHILE I LOADED INFANT AND GEAR INTO CAB. WAS READY TO DRIVE AWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE PARKING BRAKE INDICATOR WAS NOT LIT ON THE DASH. FOUND IT ODD BUT DIDN'T THINK TWICE OF IT. PUSHED BRAKES, DISENGAGED PARKING BRAKE LIKE USUAL ANYWAYS, AND PUT IN DRIVE. RELEASED BRAKES BUT TRUCK DID NOT ROLL FORWARD, EVEN BEING ON DOWNGRADE. DOUBLE CHECKED I WAS IN DRIVE AND REVVED SLIGHTLY BUT NO FORWARD MOVEMENT. PUT IN NEUTRAL AND NO MOVEMENT. PUSHED BRAKE PEDAL, PUT IN PARK, ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE AND DISENGAGE PARKING BRAKE, THEN REPEATED DRIVE SCENARIO. NOTHING WORKED. PARKED AND TURNED TRUCK OFF. UPON RESTART, WARNING ON DASH POPPED UP SHOWING, "PARK BRAKE MALFUNCTION SERVICE NOW." HAD TO ATTEMPT 3RD TRY TO DISENGAGE PARKING BRAKE. FINALLY IT DISENGAGED AND I DROPPED OFF WIFE AND CHILD AND WENT STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP. WARNING ON DASH WAS STILL THERE WHEN I DROPPED IT OFF. DEALER VERIFIED CONCERNS AND BCE TESTED FOUND CODES C1034:78 C2007:1D AND C2008:1D. PINPOINT TESTS PERFORMED. INSPECTED REAR BRAKES, WIRING, CONNECTORS - ALL LOOKED OK. RESET SYSTEM. TSB ON 2015 MODELS FOR FAULTY PARKING BRAKES BUT DOES NOT APPLY TO 2016 MODELS YET. NOTHING DEALER COULD DO SINCE IT WAS NOT LISTED UNDER THIS TSB OTHER THAN RESET COMPUTER AND HOPE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. SEEMS LIKE SAME PART(S) IS BEING USED ON 2016 MODEL BUT TSB DOESN'T APPLY TO 2016 MODEL. PLEASE LOOK INTO EXPANDING TSB TO COVER 2016 MODELS. FAULTY ELECTRONIC PARKING BRAKE IS UNACCEPTABLE. NOT BEING ABLE TO DISENGAGE IT WHILE PARKED IS ONE THING, BUT HAVING IT POSSIBLY ENGAGE WHILE DRIVING CAN BE CATASTROPHIC.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AT ABOUT 70 MPH AND SUDDENLY HAD TO APPLY MY BRAKES BECAUSE A CAR IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED SUDDENLY AND WHEN I DID THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR BOARD AND STOPPED AS IF I WAS BARELY PUSHING THE BRAKES. I HAD TO PUSH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE IN TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I ALMOST HAD A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND IF I HAD NOT SWERVED OFF THE ROAD I WOULD HAD HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME AT CLOSE TO 60 MPH AND MY VEHICLE GAVE NO WARNING LIGHTS OR OTHER INDICATION THAT ANYTHING WAS WRONG EVEN AFTER I FOUND THE ISSUE WHICH IS VERY TROUBLING. I HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED TO FORD AND AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION IT WAS DETERMINED THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED WHICH CAUSED THE BRAKES TO NOT WORK PROPERLY. WHEN I ASKED FORD IF THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW PART THAT WAS NOT PART OF THE DEFECTIVE LINE THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THEY REPLACED IT WITH A NEW MASTER CYLINDER BUT IT STILL HAS POTENTIAL TO FAIL AS IT IS PART OF THE DEFECTIVE LINE THAT IS CAUSING THESE ISSUES AND FORD DOES NOT HAVE ANY OTHER WAY OF FIXING IT. I AM SERIOUSLY CONCERNED WITH MINE AND MY FAMILIES SAFETY IN THIS VEHICLE AS I HAVE A BOAT AND OTHER THINGS I TOW FROM TIME TO TIME AND MY CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR WITH ME. I AM CONCERNED SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE INJURED OR DIE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I ALMOST HAD A VERY BAD ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS I HAVE TRIED TO SPEAK WITH FORD TO GET A NEW VEHICLE OR SWAP FOR SOMETHING SAFER BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYTHING ACCOMPLISHED BESIDES GETTING THE RUN AROUND.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ROAD SPEED (~45MPH) THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN APPLIED PROVIDED LITTLE TO NO BRAKING. THE PEDAL HAD NO RESISTANCE AND WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD. THIS OCCURRED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE WORST OF WHICH WAS WHILE I WAS ATTEMPTING TO STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. THIS INTERSECTION WAS LOCATED IN A 40 MPH ZONE ON A SOMEWHAT BUSY STREET. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND PROVIDED NO STOPPING RESISTANCE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED INTO INTERSECTION WHICH CAUSED ME TO HAVE TO TAKE EVASIVE ACTION INCLUDING PUMPING THE BRAKES AND VEERING OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I DON'T REMEMBER IF THERE WAS ANOTHER VEHICLE IN THE INTERSECTION. AFTER THIS OCCURANCE I DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS ABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM WITH THE MASTER CYLINDER WITHIN 24HRS AND THEN SPEND THE NEXT 17 DAYS TRYING TO OBTAIN THE PART FROM THE MANUFACTURE. SINCE THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS REPLACED I HAVE HAD NO ADDITIONAL OCCURRENCES OF THIS TYPE

WHILE SLOWING TO PULL INTO MY COMPANIES DRIVEWAY OFF OF A VERY BUSY HIGHWAY MY BRAKES FAILED. AS I BEGIN TO APPLY THE BRAKE PEDAL IT HAD LITTLE TO NO RESISTANCE AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH ALMOST ZERO STOPPING POWER (ON DRY SURFACE). I KNEW I WOULD DEFINITELY CRASH IF I TRIED TO PULL INTO THE DRIVE AT THE RATE I WAS TRAVELING, SO I TURNED UP THE SHOULDER AGAINST ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO REGAIN CONTROL. BEING VERY CONFUSED BECAUSE MY TRUCK IS STILL BRAND NEW I WENT DOWN MANY BACK ROADS TESTING MY BRAKES TO THANKFULLY HAVING NO OTHER FAILURES. ONE WEEK LATER IT HAPPENED TO MY FIANC WHILE SHE WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN AND WAS VERY BLESSED THERE WAS NO ONCOMING TRAFFIC AS THE VEHICLE DID NOT STOP BEFORE ENTERING THE INTERSECTION. A COUPLE OF DAYS LATER IT HAPPENED TO HER AGAIN BUT SHE HAD BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES AT A MUCH GREATER DISTANCE AWAY AND THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO COME TO A COMPLETE STOP BEFORE THE INTERSECTION. THE BEST WAY I CAN DESCRIBE IT IS, THAT IT FEELS AS IF THE FRONT BRAKES ARE DISENGAGED AND THERE IS SOME STOPPING POWER FROM THE REAR WITH NO LOSS OF TRACTION. I NOTIFIED MY DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I JUST PRAY THERE IS A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE OR THAT IT NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN BEFORE ME OR MY FAMILY GET HURT.

I HAD JUST LEFT MY HOUSE AND REACHED THE MAIN INTERSECTION OF KELLOGG (HIGHWAY 54) AND OLIVER TO TURN WEST ONTO THE RAMP TO GET ON KELLOGG WHERE THE SPEED OF TRAFFIC IS 60MPH. I APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AND ATTEMPTED TO STOP NORTH OF KELLOGG ON OLIVER. AS I PRESSED MY FOOT ON THE BREAK PEDAL TO STOP AT THE LIGHT, MY FOOT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I COASTED INTO THE INTERSECTION AND DIRECTED THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE RIGHT TOWARDS THE ON RAMP. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH SINCE I HADN'T EVEN REACHED 35MPH AND PUT MY HAZARDS LIGHTS ON AND PLACED MY TRUCK IN PARK. I WAS CONVINCED SOMEONE HAD TAMPERED WITH MY BRAKES AND THEY WERE TRYING TO KILL ME! I FRANTICALLY CALLED MY BOYFRIEND WHO WAS ABLE TO CALM ME DOWN ENOUGH TO CALL A TOW TRUCK. I HAD ONLY HAD MY BRAND NEW TRUCK FOR LESS THAN A MONTH! IT IS CURRENTLY AT A FORD DEALERSHIP TO BE REPAIRED AND HAS BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST A MONTH. I WAS TOLD BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM AND THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR REPAIR ARE ON BACKORDER. I RESEARCHED AND SAW THAT THE FORD F-150 TRUCKS IN 2013 AND 2014 HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR FAULTY MASTER CYLINDERS. I ASSUMED THAT BY NOW FORD WOULD HAVE CORRECTED THE ISSUE BUT CLEARLY THEY HAVE NOT.

MY TRUCK IS A 2016 F150 WITH 4053 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS A 5.0 V8 AND 7 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE NEW, THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND THE SIGNAL LIGHT TURNED RED. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL AND IT WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND WAS NOT STOPPING, ONLY SLOWING. I DOWNSHIFTED THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION AND PUMPED THE BRAKES BEFORE FINALLY STOPPING. THIS OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. I IMMEDIATELY DROVE TO A FORD DEALER LESS THAN 2 MILES AWAY AND THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS THE MASTER CYLINDER WHICH OF COURSE IS NOT IN STOCK. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, EARLIER MODELS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. APPARENTLY, FORD HAS NOT CORRECTED THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION!

2.5 MONTH OLD TRUCK WITH APPROXIMATELY 7K MILES DRIVEN. I WAS ROLLING DOWN A HILL ABOUT 10MPH AND TRIED TO STOP TO TALK WITH A NEIGHBOR. THE PEDAL TRAVEL DIDN'T FEEL NORMAL AND I ROLLED ABOUT 5 FEET PAST MY NEIGHBOR. AFTER COMING TO A STOP THE PEDAL SLOWLY SUNK TO THE FLOOR. I SHIFTED TO PARK THEN RELEASED AND REAPPLIED THE PEDAL. THERE WAS INITIAL RESISTANCE AT ROUGHLY THE NORMAL PEDAL HEIGHT, AND AGAIN THE PEDAL SLOWLY SANK TO THE FLOOR. WHEN I SHIFTED BACK TO DRIVE AND TESTED THE BRAKES I EXPERIENCED A SLIGHTLY DIMINISHED "INITIAL GRAB" WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES WHICH THEN WOULD DECREASE EVEN FURTHER WHILE THE PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOOR. WHEN THE PEDAL WAS COMPLETELY DEPRESSED I HAD VERY VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. FORD HAS HAD THE TRUCK FOR OVER 3 WEEKS AND STATES THAT THEY BELIEVE THE MASTER CYLINDER TO BE FAULTY AND THE LEAD TIME ON A REPLACEMENT IS QUITE LONG. (3 WEEKS THEY HOPE). I HAVE SPOKEN WITH FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE AND OPENED A CASE. THE TOLD ME THEY WOULD SEEK TO PRIORITIZE THE PART FOR ME. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THEM (WERE SUPPOSED TO CALL LAST THURSDAY) DEALER HAS NO UPDATES FOR ME EITHER. IN VIEW OF THE RECALL FOR PREVIOUS YEAR F150 TRUCKS FOR BRAKE RELATED ISSUES THAT ARE IDENTICAL TO WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED, I AM NOT COMFORTABLE TOWING WITH THIS TRUCK...ASSUMING IT IS ACTUALLY FIXED ANY TIME SOON.

THE PICKUP TRUCK IS NO OLDER THAN 3 MONTHS AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY I SUDDENLY LOST FUNCTION OF MY BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN WITH NO BRAKE REACTION. THE MIDWAY FORD DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THE MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE WAS DEFECTIVE. THANKFULLY NO ONE WAS INJURED, NOR ANY PHYSICAL DAMAGE TO PROPERTY; HOWEVER THE TRAUMATIC INCIDENT DID CAUSE ME ANGINA DUE TO MY HEART CONDITION. I WAS EXTREMELY LUCKY TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO HAVE CONTROLLED THE HEALTH CONDITION WITH NITROGLYCERIN. ALL I ASK IS THAT FORD TAKE THIS INCIDENT SERIOUSLY TO AVOID ANY FUTURE ACCIDENTS WHICH MAY POTENTIAL RESULT IN A FATALITY. I NO LONGER HAVE FAITH IN MY VEHICLE AND PREFER A DIFFERENT CAR MOVING FORWARD.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL BRAKING ISSUE. MY NEW 2016 FORD F150 PLATINUM EDITION PICK UP TRUCK WILL AUTOMATICALLY BRAKE HARD WHEN PASSING SOME LARGE TRUCKS WHILE OPERATING IN ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL. THE LANE AHEAD OF ME WAS CLEAR WITH NO VEHICLES IN SIGHT IN MY LANE EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. THE LARGE TRUCKS I PASSED WERE ON MY RIGHT AND NOT IN MY LANE OR EVEN CLOSE TO THE LANE MARKERS. THE LARGE TRUCKS DID NOT HAVE ANYTHING HANGING OVER INTO MY LANE. THESE DANGEROUS BRAKING EVENTS HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON VERY GOOD DRY HIGHWAYS AND FREEWAYS IN ARIZONA. I HAVE NO STICKERS OR AFTER MARKET ITEMS ON MY NEW F150 TRUCK. THIS HARD AUTOMATIC BRAKING HAPPENED TO ME ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS DURING THE MONTH OF MARCH. IN EACH OF THE FOUR BRAKING EVENTS I WAS TRAVELING BETWEEN 65 AND 75 MPH ON STRAIGHT HIGH QUALITY ROADS IN ARIZONA. I WAS ALMOST REAR-ENDED THE LAST TIME IT HAPPENED SO I'M NO LONGER USING CRUISE CONTROL. AS OF TODAY 4/8 MY TRUCK IS AT THE MORGAN HILL FORD STORE IN MORGAN HILL CALIF FOR INSPECTION OF THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM.

WHILE IN PARK WITH THE DRIVER DOOR OPEN, TRUCK OFF, RADIO ON, CONFIRMED SHIFTER WAS IN PARK POSITION. I ACCIDENTALLY ENGAGED MANUAL TRANSMISSION CONTROL IN FRONT OF AND GEAR SELECTOR AT THUMB POSITION OF SHIFTER AS BOTH ARE UNAVOIDABLE. AS I WAS GETTING OUT TO REACH SOMETHING IN THE BACK SEAT, TRUCK RELEASED PARK AND ROLLED AWAY. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING IN D (DRIVE) THUMB ACCIDENTALLY MADE CONTACT WITH (-) CONTROL AND QUICKLY DECELERATED TO A QUICK STALLED STOP, BEGINNING AT 50 MPH DOWN TO A STOP IN THE ROAD IN LESS THAN ONE QUARTER OF A MILE. M (MANUAL) SELECTOR IS AN OPTION ON THE PANEL, HOWEVER, BOTH THESE EVENTS HAPPENED WHILE IN P AND D, RESPECTIVELY. IN PARK THE TRUCK WAS IN A STALL AND STOPPED. IN D THE TRUCK WAS TRAVELING AT 50 MPH. THIS IS A SOFTWARE MALFUNCTION THAT IS ALLOWING AN OVERRIDE OF BRAKING WHILE IN PARK AND RAPID SHIFTING AT THE TOUCH OF ONE CONTROL THAT SITS UNDER THE DRIVERS THUMB.

MY 2016 F150 HAS ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ("ACC") THAT APPLIES BRAKES IN THE EVENT A VEHICLE IS DETECTED IN LANE AHEAD IN ORDER TO MATCH SPEED AND MAINTAIN SAFE DISTANCE. F150 ALSO HAS COLLISION AVOIDANCE SYSTEM THAT INCREASES SENSITIVITY OF BRAKES IF IMMINENT COLLISION IS DETECTED. 2015 FORD F150 HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO A RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V614000) TO FIX PROBLEMS WITH ACC - THE ACC MAY FALSELY DETECT AN OBSTACLE IN ITS PATH AND MAY UNEXPECTEDLY APPLY THE BRAKES INCREASING THE RISK OF A REAR-END COLLISION FROM A FOLLOWING VEHICLE. MY 2016 F150 WAS BUILT AFTER THE DATE COVERED BY THE RECALL HOWEVER IT EXHIBITS THE EXACT PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN THE RECALL I.E. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO EXIST WITH FORD'S ACC SYSTEM AND THE RECALL WAS INSUFFICIENT. IN MY CASE, ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS FROM 3/19 THROUGH 3/26/2016 THE ACC SYSTEM ACTIVATED UNEXPECTEDLY AND FOR NO REASON, CAUSING HEAVY BRAKING AND IN ONE CASE ALMOST CAUSING COLLISION WITH A FOLLOWING VEHICLE. THE COLLISION WARNING LIGHTS ALSO LIT UP - THIS SYSTEM MAY ITSELF HAVE INCREASED SEVERITY OF BRAKING. BRAKING EVENTS OCCURRED WITH TWO DIFFERENT DRIVERS, ON STRAIGHT FREEWAY, NO STEERING INPUT, NO BRIDGES, OR SAFETY BARRIERS TO CONFUSE THE ACC RADAR. IN ALL CASES WE WERE DRIVING IN LEFT LANE OF A TWO LANE FREEWAY, APPROACHING TO PASS A LARGE VEHICLE TRAVELLING IN RIGHT LANE - A SEMI-TRUCK IN TWO CASES, EMPTY CAR TRANSPORTER IN OTHER TWO. THE VEHICLE BEING PASSED WAS WELL IN ITS LANE AND NOT DRIFTING OVER OR PRESENTING ANY DANGER TO OUR VEHICLE. FORD'S RESPONSE HAS BEEN THAT THIS IS "NORMAL" AND WAS DUE TO OUR DRIVING ON A CURVE, OR OTHER VEHICLE DRIFTING OVER OR SOME ROAD "FURNITURE" LIKE A BRIDGE / BARRIER CONFUSING THE SYSTEM. HOWEVER, NONE OF THESE FACTORS APPLIED.
