While coming to a stop and applying the brakes, I've noticed over the last several days that the brakes have become soft, almost going completely to the floor at times. Also, while stopped and applying the brakes, the brake pedal slowly sinks towards the floor. I have check the truck for possible leaks and have found none apparent. The reservoir is down a bit but again, no visible leaks. I checked Ford's site for a possible recall and it says there is none. However, I know there is some 2013 and 2014 models with a master cylinder recall. I'm thinking maybe the recall didn't include enough vehicles because it sounds like my truck is having the same issue.
We had sold the house and were moving. Truck was parked in front of house with travel trailer attached to hitch. Preparing to drive away, and had no brakes. Checked brake fluid and had none. Took other car to purchase, came back and filled, and brake fluid all drained out. Had to unhook trailer and have vehicle towed. Local dealer replaced master brake cylinder and booster the next day. Spent $719 plus finding accommodations for the night, dealer said there was no recall at that time. Drove nearly 600 miles, and that night we lost power. Andhad to have the truck towed again. This time they said it was a defective throttle body. Had to stay 1 night in a hotel, then 3 more nights in an rv park waiting for parts, and spent $445 in repairs. Our move was delayed several days with all of this, due to a truck that had less than 60,000 miles on it, and has been well maintained. I since inadvertently found out that master cylinder and booster have now been recalled, but I have to physically go to a Ford dealer to request a refund, and was told it could take 6-8 weeks. I was also told that it would not cover the throttle body. I don't understand how our truck that has not given us any problems before could have these two major issues back to back without them being related. All of this has set us back nearly $2000.
My trucks brakes went to the floor board. No brakes, I barley missed being T-boned. I had new breaks about a 2 months ago. No brake fluid but no leakage on the ground. My son told me if could be the master cylinder so I looked it up to see how much one cost and seen recalls on 2014 F150 for failure of master cylinder but my VIN is not listed. Help please
I purchase the vehicle, used 1/3/2020 after purchase a couple of months.the brakes seam to lose the pressure on the foot pedal, this just happen one time with me an again another time with my wife an than another time me, so after that I carried the truck back to wear I purchase it they check it an they said the brake fluid is ok you need to take it to mechanic to check it out, so I took it a person the works autos he put a new brake manifold where you put the oil he bled all the lines and put a couple of other things on it and finally said I can't fix it take it to a dealership so after taking it to the dealership they said the hcu and the ECU replacement is a dl 32 2C215 C after caulking with them I told him that was too much money and I don't think that that part should be working like that hoff intermediate no and there's no guarantee that that fix the problem please advise thank you

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.
