Hard brake pedal resulting in no or very little braking when engine is cold and vehicle is stationary, every day, every time i start the vehicle. once the pump begins working or becomes unstuck, i do have brakes, however i am very concerned that this will result in brake failure and an accident with serious injury to me and my passengers. this vehicle has had a recall on certain models for this issue resulting from a bad vacuum pump. ford customer service has said my vehicle is not involved in the recall. it obviously is, because it is the exact same problem involved in the recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 ford f-150. while driving 35 mph, the brake warning indicator illuminated. the contact depressed the brake pedal, but it failed to engage. the contact lifted her foot off the brake pedal and coasted the vehicle to a complete stop. the vehicle was towed to community ford lincoln of bloomington (2200 s walnut st, bloomington, in 47401, (812) 331-2200) where it was diagnosed that the master cylinder and brake booster needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 90,624.
I was casually driving on the highway just outside of atlanta when all of a sudden i felt a jolt in the rear end and my advanced traction control turned on and stated that there was a problem. i pulled over and called a tow truck to take it to the ford dealership for service. the dealership advised me that somehow my rear axle differential had snapped on the rear driver side. they stated that usually they see that in high lifted trucks or with towing something heavy. my truck is standard lift and i do not tow any trailers and i am thinking it could possibly have been a factory defect as my truck is still pretty young and has only 114000 miles
Intermittently, there is a hard brake pedal at first start. after a few presses of the brake it goes away.
The truck was in park i had stepped out to check the mail with my children in the truck the next thing i knew my truck was moving like it was in gear i jumped in pressed the break and it still showed it in park i pushed into park harder and it stopped.. i was not on a hill or anything to make it roll and it was actually moving like it was put into gear
Driving 75mph towing boat. truck shifts into 1st gear. redlined engine, many noises, slipping transmission, step on pedal to accelerate, it goes to 5k before shifting. almost caused major highway disaster. now my family is afraid to ride in vehicle. also when first start up no brakes. recalls where done for both , did not fix either.
Extremely hard pedal on start up. ford has a customer satisfaction program called 15n05 for this very problem. online, my vehicle is the type and was built during the dates and places specified. when i called, they said my vin number was not covered.
Contrary to the resolution stated in nhtsa investigation ea 15-006, ford is refusing to cover the defective vacuum pump even though it falls with in the affected vehicle production time and is within 10 years and 150,000 miles.

Nhtsa action #ea15006, ford company initiated customer satisfaction program 15n05. i had the electric vacuum pump (evp) replaced by for on 4/25/17 with 48,846 mi. by 3/19 i started hearing a noise in cab during cold starts, but it took a little while during cold starts it made the noise for me figure out is was coming from the engine area. i realize it was the evp again. not 2 years and with about 63 and change miles, a mechanic said it was the evp again. i contacted ford dealer and they denied replacing the bad part, saying i only had 1 year or 12k to have it replaced. all of fords other parts get a 2 year warranty, except evp. contacted ford complaint line on 4/13, they told me to have issue verified by a ford mechanic 1st. i did & on 4/17/19 gave them complaint, they gave me complaint #. the ford dealer i used called me back on 4/29/19, said ford denied fixing it as warranty, but offered to give me $100 of a $442 repair. dealer said if i wanted the evp, to order it because they were on back order, it would be ...
I have a 2012 f-150 with the 3.5l ecoboost engine, 100,000 miles. i have been having problems with no power brakes when truck is initially started and the dealer diagnosed this as a failed vacuum pump this typically happens at slow speeds the first several times you stop. a recall was forced in canada and a customer satisfaction warranty extension is in place in the usa (15n05). both cover the 2011 to 2012 f-150 with ecoboost engine. for some reason my vin is not included in the recall & customer satisfaction policy. brakes intermittently have no power assist and its very difficult to stop truck, especially when you arent expecting the brakes to fail like that. this is a common problem and i have contacted ford customer service - but all they will tell me is my vin isnt covered. they need to expand this to cover more vehicles - its a huge safety related issue. i cant believe no recall has been issued.
In february 2017 while backing out of a parking space on a down hill slop i was unable to stop the vehicle and into grass area almost hitting a tree in reverse. the power brakes were so hard i could not move the brake pedal. once it came to rest i put the vehicle in drive and let off the brake pedal then reapplied the brake and they worked. i then took the vehicle to the dealer and they performed a recall fsa 15n05 on 2/27/2017 with 35,514 miles on the vehicle. then on 2/16/2019 i was backing out of my garage and again could not stop the vehicle and went into grass hill of my yard.again my brake pedal was hard and no power brakes. when the vehicle came to a stop i let off the brake and reapplied and they started to work again. i took vehicle to the dealer that day for them to check it out. they notified me it again was the brake vacuum pump has has failed again and ford will not fix it since it was fixed once before under this recall. the dealer also told me they cannot fix it due to ...
The vehicle was in motion and as i was driving in a parking lot i went to apply the brakes but the pedal went to the floor and the low fluid indicator came on. i was able to use the parking brake to get the vehicle to stop. i opened the hood and found my reservoir was nearly empty but there were no signs of leakage around the reservoir. i got under the vehicle and could night see signs of leakage on brake line or any of the calipers.
