SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING DOWN A HILL WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK ON A DIVIDED HIGHWAY GOING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. I WENT TO APPLY THE BRAKES FOR AN UPCOMING STOP LIGHT AND THE PEDAL WENT ALMOST COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR. AT THE SAME TIME A "BRAKE FLUID LEVEL LOW" ALARM LIGHT TURNED ON IN MY DASH ALONG WITH THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED SYMBOL. I HAD TO QUICKLY SHIFT MY TRANSMISSION TO MANUAL AND DOWN SHIFT THE TRANSMISSION FROM 6TH GEAR ALL THE WAY DOWN TO FIRST GEAR TO BE ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN I CHECKED, THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR WAS BELOW THE MINIMUM (MIN) LEVEL INDICATOR. I LATER FILLED THE RESERVOIR TO THE MAX LINE AND TESTED THE BRAKES. THE "BRAKE FLUID LOW LEVEL" WARNING LIGHT AND THE PARKING BRAKE APPLIED LIGHT WENT AWAY AND EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. I TESTED THE BRAKES AND THEY SEEMED TO BE WORKING. I THEN TESTED THE VEHICLE OUT IN A SAFE AREA AND WITHIN MINUTES THE BRAKES FAILED AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON. AT THIS TIME I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND REFERRED TO THE FACTORY REPAIR MANUAL TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. THERE WERE NO VISIBLE LEAKS FROM ANY OF THE BRAKE COMPONENTS INCLUDING THE CALIPERS, BRAKE LINES OR MASTER CYLINDER. THE MANUAL RECOMMENDED CHECKING TO SEE IF ANY BRAKE FLUID WAS IN THE BRAKE BOOSTER. THE BRAKE BOOSTER WAS NEARLY HALF FULL OF BRAKE FLUID. AT THIS POINT I REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER AS RECOMMENDED BY THE FACTORY MANUAL. THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE WITH 2013-2016 FORD F-150'S AND THERE HAS BEEN A FACTORY RECALL ON THE 2013-2014 F-150'S (16V345000). I FEEL THAT IF I HAD NOT PUT THE VEHICLE IN MANUAL AND DOWNSHIFTED I WOULD NOT BEEN ABLE TO STOP AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT AT THE INTERSECTION. EVEN AFTER THE REPAIR OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE.

AIR BAGS
I WAS TRAVELING STRAIGHT IN MY F-150 ON A MAIN ROAD IN THE 30-40MPH RANGE WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE (2006 CHEVY 2500 PICKUP) DARTED ACROSS TRAFFIC TRYING TO GO FROM ONE PARKING LOT TO ANOTHER. I STRUCK THE OTHER VEHICLE (T-BONED) ON THE PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AND BACK DOORS. MY FOOT WAS JAMMING THE BRAKES AT THE TIME OF COLLISION. THE IMPACT WAS SIGNIFICANT AND CAUSED A GOOD AMOUNT OF DAMAGE TO THE FRONT OF MY F-150. THE SEAT BELT ACTUATOR FIRED OFF TO LOCK ME IN PLACE BUT THE AIR BAG DID NOT DEPLOY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW/WHY THE AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY IN THIS INSTANCE.

THE POWER FOLDING MIRROR BUTTON IS LOCATED DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVERS WINDOW CONTROL, APPROXIMATELY 1/2' AWAY. WHILE IN MOTION, DRIVER CAN HIT MIRROR BUTTON AND CAUSE THEM TO FOLD IN. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. PER FORWARDS OWN RECOMMENDATIONS, YOU MUST ALLOW THE MIRRORS TO FULLY RETRACTS BEFORE HITTING THE BUTTON TO PLACE THEM BACK IN NORMAL POSITION OTHERWISE, THIS COULD CAUSE ISSUES WITH THE MIRRORS. THIS CAUSES DRIVER TO REMOVE EYE FROM ROAD TO REMEDY SITUATION AS WELL AS NOT HAVING VISIBILITY OF SURROUNDINGS. SOFTWARE UPDATE SHOULD BE PUBLISHED TO DISABLE THE NEAREST FROM BEING ABLE TO BE FOLDED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

MY REAR SEAT DOOR LOCK PULL BUTTONS ON BOTH SIDES WERE NOT SCREWED INTO THE MECHANISM. THIS WOULD NOT ALLOW THE PASSENGER TO EXIT THE VEHICLE BY OVERRIDING THE ELECTRIC DOOR LOCKS. THIS COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM IN AN EMERGENCY. I FIXED IT BY SCREWING THE PLASTIC POST INTO THE THREADED MECHANISM.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WINDSHIELD WASHER SYSTEM WILL NOT PUMP FLUID AT TEMPERATURES BELOW FREEZING EVEN WHEN USING WASHER FLUID RATED FOR -30 DEGREES F. I RECENTLY WAS ON A 1.5 HOUR TRIP WITH THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE AT ABOUT +20 DEGREES F. I NEEDED TO SPRAY WASHER FLUID ON THE WINDSHIELD WHILE DRIVING AND THE LIQUID WOULD NOT PUMP. AFTER ARRIVING AT MY DESTINATION AND PARKING OUTSIDE WITH NO SUN; I WENT TO TRY THE WASHERS AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT FOR 20 MINUTES; THE WASHER WORKED FINE. I PUMPED THE CONTAINER DRY BY REPEATEDLY ACTIVATING THE WASHER TO ATTEMPT TO FLUSH ANY OLD FLUID OUT OF THE SYSTEM. I THEN REFILLED THE WASHER WITH -30 F RATED FLUID AND PUMPED SOME OF THIS THROUGH THE SYSTEM. AFTER LETTING THE TRUCK SIT OVERNIGHT I TRIED USING THE WASHERS WHILE THE OUTDOOR AMBIENT TEMPERATURE WAS ABOUT +20F AND AGAIN THE WASHERS WOULD NOT PUMP FLUID. I KNOW THE FLUID IS GOOD, IT IS BRAND NEW AND FROM A REPUTABLE SUPPLIER. THE FLUID IS LIQUID IN THE WASHER FLUID TANK IN THE TRUCK. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE FLUID DISPENSING SYSTEM IN THIS TRUCK. I HAVE ALSO OWNED A 2015 FORD F-150 PICKUP THAT EXHIBITED THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE WHEN DRIVING ON WET WINTER ROADS.
