2016 Ford Expedition Owner Comments

problem #4

Expedition

  • 60,000 miles

A D V E R T I S E M E N T S

The contact owns a 2016 Ford Expedition. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle and depressing the brake pedal, the braking system malfunctioned and the brake pedal extended to the floor. Upon inspection, it was discovered that there was no brake fluid in the brake reservoir. After refilling the brake fluid reservoir, approximately 30 minutes later the brake fluid had leaked from the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer who diagnosed that the brake master cylinder and brake booster were faulty and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.

Low brake fluid warning, partial brake failure, similar to brake issue with F150 for which recall was issued--same parts used in Expedition. Vehicle was stationary when warning first appeared. I refilled flued reservoir. Drove vehicle about 2 miles then parked. Restarted and reservoir had emptied, warning sign appeared, no fluid leakage visible under hood or on ground.

problem #2

Oct 092020

Expedition

  • 56,511 miles
While driving the vehicle at approx 35 mph on a city street. The brakes were lightly applied upon approaching a traffic light. The pedal, without any warning, went straight to the floor with no resistance and then the brake warning light came on. Pumping the brakes allowed the vehicle to slowly decelerate but, pedal travel consistently went full throw. A visual inspection showed an empty fluid reservoir and no indication of an external leak. The break down shows the master cylinder failed and was diverting the brake fluid into the boost assembly. The vehicle has 56,511 miles on it.

Expedition

  • 112,850 miles
While driving on a city street, my brake pedal lost resistance and went to the floor. I discovered that the brake fluid reservoir was empty. I was able to get the vehicle to a local dealership because the back brakes were functioning. I discovered that this was a common occurrence for the 2016 Ford F150 (that has been recalled because of the master brake cylinder) and was becoming a common occurrence the 2016 Ford Expedition. It seems that both model share the same part. The local Ford dealer diagnosed the problem and replaced the master brake cylinder and booster assemblies. The repair was delayed about a week because the "recalled" master brake cylinder model was ordered in error and the new model would take a few days to get in. I found that to be a strange comment when there is not information related to a recall for the 2016 Ford Expedition.
