Tl* the contact owns a 2015 ford f-150. the contact stated that while driving at 30 mph, the vehicle brake ceased to operate without warning. the contact was able to downshift the vehicle and drive to an independent mechanic. the contact topped off the transmission however, the brake failure persisted. the vehicle was then taken to an unnamed dealer to be diagnosed. the contact was informed that the brake master cylinder needed to be replaced which was still pending. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 162,000.
The brake master cylinder went out while i was driving and i nearly hit the car in front of me. when i took the truck into the shop, i was told that the master cylinder had a leak and would not consistently hold pressure so it had to be replaced. after doing some research, i found a recall by ford with recall id 16s24 for this exact same problem and when i was told what needed replaced, it was almost word for word what this recall stated. i found this information after i had already gotten the master cylinder replaced so i called ford to speak with their recall department. i was told that this issue was not covered by the recall because my truck was manufactured after the date of what was defined in the recall. it seems to me that a truck built in the same year that had master cylinders affected would be covered by the recall. this repair cost $663.57. losing brake pressure could have caused serious injury had i been on the highway or needing to come to an abrupt stop. a picture of the repair invoice is attached but a better copy can ...

My 20 year old daughter was driving through a parking lot and without any prior problems or indication of a brake issue the brake pedal went to the the floor board and the truck barely came to a stop before hitting other vehicles in the parking lot, at this time a warning chime and warning message displaying low brake fluid appeared on the instrument cluster. she happened to be in the ford dealership parking lot picking the truck up from multiple recalls being preform (non brake related). she pulled back in the service lane and asked for assistance, the service writer went and got the technician to inspected it in the service lane, he checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was completely empty causing the truck to loose all brakes. they ended up keeping the vehicle over night and inspected it the next day.. the technician added more brake fluid to the brake reservoir and tested the trucks brakes and the brake master cylinder immediately lost the brake fluid into the brake booster. the technician diagnosed the failure as the brake master cylinder leaking fluid into the brake booster. now both the brake master cylinder and ...

I was driving down the highway at 60 mph a car pull over into lane in front of me? i stepped on the brakes and they were as hard as a rock, luckily i steered to the aide of the highway and down shifted till the truck came to a rolling stop, the brake and the parking brake light are on and the brakes were still as hard as a rock , i tried shutting the truck off and restarting, and still the same result, i put the truck in drive after awhile and kept messing with it pushing as hard as could on the brake pedal and i got a little bit of brakes , after driving a few miles they started working again, now i'm afraid waiting wondering if it's not gonna work again, it's dangerous, it's my main vehicle and most of my family randomly uses it. i've had a lot of problems with this truck.
While driving on the freeway, i applied my brakes and noticed no reaction and my pedal went all the way to the floor to slow the truck. i was really luck there were no cars to my right because i would have rear ended the car in front of me. after all this i got a message for 'low brake fluid'. i passed 6 cars till i came to a stop.
