I purchased this truck new in March 2015. I have had it serviced according to manufacturer recommendations every 5,000 miles. Both front brake lines have recently burst with no warning, as follows: - on 1 May 2019, when the truck had 105,488 miles on it, I pressed the brake pedal to stop at a city street red light. The pedal sunk to the floor causing the truck to enter the intersection amidst oncoming traffic. There was no warning light or sound before or after the failure. Brake fluid gushed onto the ground from the right front brake. A Ford service agent diagnosed the cause as a bulge in the right front brake hose where it met the caliper that had burst when I applied the brakes. This incident happened minutes after leaving the said Ford service facility at which they had just performed a brake inspection and said all four brakes looked new and the vehicle was in good condition. - on 11 December 2019, when the truck had 113,089 miles on it, while the truck was parked, I put my foot on the brake pedal to start the truck. The brake pedal sank to the floor. Again, there was no warning light or sound before or after the failure. I looked under the truck and saw brake fluid gushing out of the front left brake hose. A Ford service agent diagnosed the cause as a rupture in the front left brake hose.
There was a recall for a brake booster master cylinder in may of 2016. We bought the truck used in Dec 2017. The mileage was 35774 when the recall was done. We have been driving the truck and now the brake booster is out again. We replaced the front brakes thinking that was the problem but the booster started acting up again. After replacing the brakes, the pedal went to floor and had to be pumped to have brakes. I think they replaced it with yet another defective part. The truck is not driveable.
Husband was driving our 2014 F150 truck and was stopped at a stop light; brake pedal went completely to floor. When he got home, it was discovered that brake fluid was leaking from the front right compartment. Confirmed with Ford that our truck was not part of the recall 16S24, but was built in the dearborn plant during the same time frame as the trucks that were recalled and there is still a wide scope of vehicles that are not within the scope of the recall having the same issue. Truck VIN is [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Master cylinder leaked into the brake booster causing brake failures. There is a recall on this but according to the Ford website my vehicle is not part of that recall.
While driving on the freeway, brake fluid low light appeared followed by loss of brakes. Had to use emergency brakes to avoid hitting the car in front of me. Had vehicle towed to nearest Ford dealership. Mechanics stated that the brake fluid leaked internally between the booster and master cylinder.
The brakes on my Ford F150 went out completely, while driving. The time from brake light to no brakes was about 3-4 minutes. I had to use the emergency brake to maneuver. Fortunately I was turning into a gas station. Although a recall has been created for 2013-2014 Ford F150 for the exact issue with my truck, my truck is not a part of the recall (brake master cylinder leaking into the brake booster). This is very dangerous. I had no brakes. I asked the Ford service provider if they report the issue, and the response was they do not. I am concerned that there are other drivers out there who will have their brakes go out while driving. Please review this immediately so that others will know there is a possibility their brakes could go out. I am attaching the service detail. I was told that the brake master cylinder just has a faulty part that went bad. How does that happen to a brake system? not sure what would have happened if my wife or son had been driving.
Brake fluid level low alert received while driving. Arrived at destination within one mile. Upon return to vehicle one hour later and starting vehicle and reversing out of parking spot, the brake pedal went to floor when pressed and brakes did not work. Moved gear shift to park and vehicle stopped. Towed to Ford dealer who advised that master cylinder and brake booster had failed. No external leakage occurred.
Master cylinder failed and all the fluid drained out and into the power brake booster leaving me with no brakes. I was driving down the interstate at 70 mph when the warning low brake fluid level came on, luckily I made it home before I lost all braking functions. While diagnosing the problem I could not find the source of the leak so I searched the internet and found more people with the same things happening to trucks just like mine and even some were included in a recall but when searching my VIN unfortunately it was not included.
Recall 16V345000 was done on my vehicle after 30,000 miles exact issue has returned Ford/dealership refuses to fix the failed recall fix. Vehicle stopping distance is significantly longer than before front brakes do not work at all brake pedal falls to the floor.
Was driving and came to a stop light brake warning light lit on dash and pedal went to the floor. Had to use emergency brake to come to a stop. Very carefully tool back roads home as to not have to use brakes any more than needed. Next morning found master cylinder leaking into brake booster. The F150 has 116,000 miles. If I wasn't driving this could have been a major wreck or serious injuries.
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. While driving 70 mph, the brake fluid warning indicator illuminated. The contact depressed the brake pedal, which failed to engage. The contact veered to the shoulder of the road and applied the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. When the contact turned the vehicle off and back on, it resumed normal operationg. The vehicle was taken to zeck Ford (4501 S 4th St, leavenworth, ks 66048, (800) 394-1650) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The dealer stated that the brake master cylinder could possibly be the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided case number: Cas-22333089. The failure mileage was approximately 81,000.
2013-2014 brake master cylinder leaking into the brake booster....my 2014 F150 has this same failure with 58K miles on the vehicle. It should be investigated and include this vehicle in the recall. My daughter was driving the vehicle this morning and the brake pedal went all the way to the floor when slowing to merge onto a us highway here in dagsboro, Delaware 19939. Windshield wiper/turn signal switch recall....this 2014 Ford F150 has the same symptoms as those that fall under the recall notice whereas the windshield wipers will all of a sudden come on and you cannot get it to turn off. No matter if you are moving or not this can occur sporadically without warning.
I had use the truck all weekend, it was running fine, parked it in my driveway. Started vehicle Monday morning and got a warning light saying "brake fluid low". I've never seen this light in my life, let alone since owning this truck. Pushed the brake pedal, and it went to the floor, there were no brakes. Checked the reservoir, there was no fluid. Called el cajon Ford, in ca. Told them I was having it towed in. In the meantime, got on line to research possible problems, found that there had been a recall for this exact problem. Got to the dealership and the service advisor acknowledged there had been a recall, but said he would need to inspect the truck. Called me back and confirmed this was the issue, but said my VIN was not one of the recalled vehicles. Same parts, same problem, but not covered. I called Ford customer service and waited two days for them to determine they were not going to cover this problem. This is a factory defect, not to mention a safety hazard, that is acknowledged by Ford, and they are not standing behind it. Was told it was only certain VIN made in certain plants. It's the master cylinder, that most likely made by one manufacturer and ships to all Ford plants,
Master cylinder dumping brake fluid into brake booster causing vehicle to have no fluid in resivor and no brake pedal. There was a recall on some 2014 models. Dealer who repaired mind said there is no open recall. I dont know if this was repaired before. This happened on highway 408 in Florida. Orlando area.
While driving to work I got a warning engine in my truck that indicated I had a problem with my brakes. I took it straight to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the problem. All of the brake fluid had leaked into the brake booster and had been burnt off in the engine. He told me that there was a recall, but I would have to check with Ford. I took the truck to the dealership I purchased it from and was told that even though I had experienced the exact failure described in recall#16V345000, and even though my truck is the exact make & model included in the recall that my VIN was not included and therefore would not be covered under the recall. My truck is 5 years old and only has 42K miles on it. Ford is offering to replace the master cylinder & brake booster for a cost of $1032 +tax. With an independent mechanic's diagnosis and Ford service departments same diagnosis that the failure and the make & model are identical, I do not understand why my truck is not covered under the recall and request a further investigation as to why Ford is not responsible for the replacement of the failed components.
While driving the driver was driving on the interstate, the car in front of him stopped. When the driver went to apply his brakes, the pedal went to the floor and he had no control of the brakes. He was able to avoid collision by pulling to the side of the road. The truck had to be towed to a dealership to be repaired. It was determined the brake booster and master cylinder failed and required replacement. Although we have several other 2014 F-150S that were included in recall 16S24, this one, we were told, was not. However, I believe it should have been.
