ON THE MORNING OF JULY 18, 2016 I EXPERIENCED COMPETE AND TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2014 FORD F150 TRUCK. I HAD DRIVEN THE TRUCK THE NIGHT BEFORE WITH NO PROBLEMS OR WARNINGS OF ANY KIND. I GOT INTO MY TRUCK, CRANKED IT, AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESISTANCE. I TRIED PRESSING IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS. JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE THIS, I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER CONCERNING BREAKING ISSUES FROM FORD. HOWEVER, IN THIS LETTER IT SAID THAT THE ISSUE WOULD ONLY AFFECT THE FRONT BRAKES; THE REAR BRAKES WOULD STILL BE USABLE. I CAN ASSURE YOU, THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I CONSIDER MYSELF EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL INCIDENT.

TRAVELING AT LOW SPEED AND TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER STEERING RESULTING IN RUNNING OFF THE ROAD. NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR INJURIES WERE INCURRED. THE VEHICLE ON HAD 43,000 MILES. I WAS TOLD BY THE LOCAL DEALER THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LISTED ON A RECALL LIST BUT THAT THEY HAD BEEN HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS ISSUE. THE STEERING GEAR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED BY THE DEALER.

PERSON WAS PULLING AWAY FROM CURB WHEN BRAKES FAILED. BRAKE PEDAL WAS PRESSED TO THE FLOOR. HE IMMEDIATELY SLAMMED THE TRUCK INTO PARK AND ENGAGED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. UPON LOOKING, SAW THAT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID. THIS HAPPENED ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET.

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

DRIVER'S SIDE REAR WINDOW EXPLOSION AFTER RUNNING DEFROSTER FOR 10 MINS. SOUNDED LIKE A GUN WAS DISCHARGED INSIDE OF VEHICLE WHILE SITTING IN DRIVEWAY VERY UNSAFE! HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AS IT WAS A LIABILITY TO DRIVE WITH SHATTERED GLASS AND FORD WOULD NOT COVER UNDER ESP.

I HAVE A 2014 F-150 3.5L ECOBOOST TRUCK.... IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000 MILES THAT ARE MAINLY LONG HAUL AND NOT SHORT AROUND TOWN STOP/START MILES. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IF I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO FULL POWER FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN CUT OUT AGAIN. THIS IS NO FUN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE CITY... VERY DANGEROUS IN FACT. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILST DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DRIVING AROUND THE CITY AND SOMETIMES GOING UP A HILL. I AM NOT A VEHICLE EXPERT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE CAUSE. I VISITED FORD AND EVEN THEY WERE NOT SURE. I WILL VISIT ANOTHER DEALER TO SEE IF I CAN GET BETTER INFORMATION. MY CONCERN IS ABOUT DRIVING ACROSS TOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAVING THE VEHICLE CUT OUT ON ME AGAIN.

DRIVING ~45 MPH ATTEMPTED TO STOP CAR AT RED LIGHT. PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR AND TRUCK ONLY SLOWED, NO COMPLETE BRAKING TO AN ORDINARY STOP. FORTUNATELY, INTERSECTION WAS EMPTY AS TRUCK DIDN'T COMPLETELY STOP UNTIL THROUGH INTERSECTION. INDICATOR & WARNING OF LOW BRAKE FLUID APPEARED AFTER INCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT THE OWNER'S EXPENSE. THE VIN DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,792.

THE MAN THAT CAME TO GET IT OUT SAID THE BREAKS WERE OUT AND HE HAD IT SHOVE IT UP INTO PARK TO KEEP IT FROM HITTING SOME ONES HOUSE. MY HUSBAND CALLED THE FORD DEALER AND PUT IT ON SPEAKER PHONE AND ASKED IF THEY HAD GOT THE ARTS IN TO FIX THE TRUCK AND THEY SAID NO THEY DID NOT AND THEY HAVE STILL NOT CALLED TO THIS DAY.

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

THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS AN UNKNOWN TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN RELATED TO THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO HAVE THE ROTORS ROTATED, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

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

I OWN A 2014 F150 4X4 WITH 3.5 ECO BOOST V6, ON MY WAY TO WORK THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THAN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT THE WARNING DING. WENT TO HIT BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD COMPLETE FRONT BRAKE FAILURE AND VERY LITTLE BREAKING IN THE REAR WHEELS. WITH WHAT LITTLE REAR BRAKE I HAD I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND LIMP IT TO THE STORE WHERE I CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY. THINKING I WAS THE CAUSE I PUT TWO CANS OF FLUID BACK INTO THE SYSTEM TRYING TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOT 2 BLOCKS LATER THE BREAKS ARE GONE AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE WARRANTY WORK KNOWING FULL WELL IT WAS A RECALL. I WAS NOT INFORMED OR TOLD BY THE DEALER NOR THE FORD OF THE RECALL AND BREAK SYSTEM FAILURE. THEY ALSO REPORT THAT DEALER STOCK PARTS CAN'T BE USED AND THAT FORD HAS TO SENT THEM THE NEW PARTS. GREAT UNTESTED PARTS THAT I CANNOT GET ACCEPT THROUGH DEALERSHIP. I COMPLAINED TO FORD AND THEY HAVE IGNORED ME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS THE TRUCK AND HAS NOT COMMUNICATED AT ALL TO ME IN A WEEK.

THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. I HAD JUST UNHOOKED A TRAILER. I PULLED FORWARD AND STOPPED AND THEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I PUT IT IN GEAR AND CREEPED FORWARD. ONLY WITH HEAVY PEDAL PUMPING DID I GET SLIGHT BRAKING (AT APPROX 5MPH) THE MASTER CYLINDER TOTALLY EMPTIED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. WHEN FILLING THE MASTER CYLINDER IT LEAKED THE WHOLE BOTTLE INTO THE BOOSTER WITHIN MINUTES THE DEALER STATES THE TRUCK HAS NO BRAKES AT THIS TIME. COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE.

COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE! VEHICLE: 2014 F150 FORD ECOBOOST 4WD WITH 46,000 MILES I DROVE FROM A PARKED POSITION APPROXIMATELY 100' TO A STOP SIGN WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD WITH NO BRAKING AND A WARNING APPEARED ON THE DASH THAT THE BRAKE FLUID IS LOW. I WENT PAST THE STOP SIGN AND THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AND STOPPED USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ([XXX]) IN THE MAIL THE DAY THIS HAPPENED (7/18/2016). THE RECALL CAME OUT TWO MONTHS EARLIER BUT THIS WAS THE FIRST NOTIFICATION BY FORD. THE RECALL STATES THE BRAKE FAILURE MAY INVOLVE THE FRONT BRAKES AND NOT THE REAR BRAKES WHICH IS TOTALLY FALSE. IN MY CASE, BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES WERE INSTANTLY NON-EXISTENT. ADDITIONALLY THE RECALL STATED THAT A LOW FLUID ALARM AND AUDIBLE SIGNAL WOULD NOTIFY DRIVER IF FLUID WAS LOW. THIS ALSO IS INCORRECT. FORD DEALERSHIPS SAY THEY HAVE NO DIRECTIVE TO PERFORM THE WORK AND NOT PARTS HAVE BEEN PROVIDED SO THEIR HANDS ARE TIED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE. THEIR ESTIMATE IS THAT IT WILL TAKE ONE MONTH TO GET THE PARTS SO MY TRUCK WILL BE OUT OF COMMISSION BETWEEN ONE AND THREE MONTHS. THIS FAILURE COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN FATAL IF IT HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC OR ON A HIGHWAY INSTEAD OF ON A LIGHTLY TRAVELED SIDE STREET WITH NO TRAFFIC. THIS REPORT MIGHT NOT BE IMPORTANT TO THE NHTSA SINCE NO DEATH OR DAMAGE WAS INVOLVED BUT IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SUCH. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552

WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP WHILE TOWING 7,800LB 5TH WHEEL CAMPER THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO USE THE TRAILERS ELECTRIC BRAKES TO STOP THE TRUCK. I THEN CHECKED THE TRUCK FOR LEAKS AND FOUND NONE. WHEN I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL IT WAS EMPTY. TRUCK BED TO BE TOWED TO A DEALER. FORD ADMITTED IT WAS COVERED UNDER A SAFETY RECALL BUT HAS NO REPLACEMENT PARTS AND DOESN'T KNOW WHEN THEY WILL HAVE ANY READY.

LOSS OF BRAKE CONTROL DUE TO MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER FAILURE WHILE VEHICLE IN MOTION. OCCURRED IMMEDIATELY AFTER BRAKE SYSTEM WARNING ALERT ON DASHBOARD. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOORBOARD WITHOUT ANY BRAKE CONTROL. CHECKED BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR IMMEDIATELY AFTER SAFETY PARKING AND IT WAS EMPTY. THIS EVENT APPEARS CONNECTED TO THE FORD F150 MODEL YEAR 13-14 WITH 3.5L ECOBOOST ENGINE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER ISSUE.

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

TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE WHILE TOWING A 35 FOOT RV TRAILER ON THE HIGHWAY. USED MANUAL TRAILER BRAKES TO STOP THE CAR AND TRAILER. THE CAR HAD NO BRAKES AND HAD TO BE TOWED. MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED. RECALL 16S24 TEMPORARY REPAIR.

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

BRAKE DID NOT WORK AND PEDAL JUST WENT TO THE FLOOR. CAR WAS IN MOTION IN LOCAL MALL PARKING LOT.

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

THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. I GOT IN TO LEAVE THE HOTEL AND THE BRAKES DIDN'T WORK THE BRAKE WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NO WARNING TO ANY BRAKE ISSUES. WE HAVE NO BRAKES AT ALL. I ADDED BRAKE FLUID AS THERE WAS NONE SHOWING IN THE TRUCK. I DROVE IT TO THE FORD DEALER AND THE FLUID WAS GONE ONCE AGAIN. I PARKED IT THERE. THANKFULLY I WASN'T ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 80 MPH. I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND APPEARS THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED. FORD HAS NO PARTS TO FIX AT THIS TIME AND THEY ARE NOT SUPPLYING ANY RENTALS. WE HAVE CALLED FORD NUMEROUS TIMES AND THEY HAVE YET TO CALL US BACK AND IT HAS BEEN A WEEK.

DRIVER WAS IN ROUTE TO A LOCATIONS WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHT BECAME ILLUMINATED AND BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO FEEL SPONGY. DRIVER WAS ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OVER AND INSECT THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WHICH WAS VERY LOW. DRIVER DID A VISUAL INSPECTION AND DID NOT SEE ANY FLUID LEAKS.

DRIVER REPORTED BRAKES FELT SPONGY IN THE MORNING ON LOCATION. DRIVER FUNCTIONED BRAKES A FEW TIME IN PARK AND LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS LOW.

THE BREAK SYSTEM FAILED, THE WARNING LIGHT FOR LOW BRAKE FLUID CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT THE BREAKING SYSTEM WOULD NOT FUNCTION. I PUMPED THE BRAKES IN AN EFFORT TO GET SOME PETAL BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. MY SPEED WAS APPROX. 45. I WAS SUCCESSFUL IN BRING THE VEHICLE TO A STOP WITH HARD PRESSURE ON THE PETAL AND THE USE OF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I WAS WITHIN A MILE OF A MECHANIC AND WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HIS SHOP FOR EVALUATION. UPON INITIAL INSPECTION THE MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED. HE ADVISED THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD THE VEHICLE BE DRIVEN. I SUBSEQUENTLY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP FOR EVALUATION. I WAS INFORMED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT FORD CORPORATE FOR DIRECTIONS AS HOW TO PROCEED. TO DATE MY VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH NO WORD AS HOW THEY PLAN TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE. I FELT LIKE MY LIFE WAS IN GREAT DANGER WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY FORD AND THE NTSB.

BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I TRIED TO STOP, THERE WAS NEAR COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITH ONLY MINOR BRAKING CAPACITY. HAD TRUCK TOWED TO FORD DEALER. I HAD TRUCK AT MY LOCAL DEALER ON 6/16/2016 AND ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE BRAKES BECAUSE OF THE RECALL I HAD HEARD ABOUT. I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOT A FIX FOR IT AS OF YET. NO MENTION WAS MADE OF BRAKE FLUID BEING LOW AT THAT TIME NOR WAS THERE ANY MENTION THAT I MAY LOSE ALL BRAKING

LOST BRAKE FLUID AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WHILE TRYING TO BRAKE ON THE INTERSTATE. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN WHEN I CAME TO A STOP I HAD ZERO BRAKE FLUID AND NO OBVIOUS LEAK.

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

THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL FOR THE MASTER CYLINDER IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN JUNE OF 2015 AND HAD THE BRAKING SYSTEM REPLACED . FORD HAS KNOW RECALLED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND WON'T HAVE A FIX FOR MONTHS AND WANTS THE OWNERS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY FAILED AND I DON'T T THINK THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. FORD WANTS YOU TO CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL THEY GET A FIX OR A TRAGEDY OCCURS TO MY FAMILY WHICHEVER HAPPENS FIRST. I SPOKE WITH FORD CASE #CAS9744853 AND DON'T FEEL THIS IS RIGHT.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN THE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING BECAME SLUGGISH. THE NEXT DAY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THE CHILDREN INSIDE, WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST COMPLETELY WENT OUT, BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND MADE VERY LOUD, ALMOST SCREECHING NOISES WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL. THIS RESULTED IN MY FAMILY NEARLY CRASHING IN THE TRUCK. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING ON THE PAVED HIGHWAY/ROADWAY.
