THE (DRIVER'S SIDE) DOOR SOMETIMES DOES NOT LATCH COMPLETELY, OR WILL NOT CLOSE COMPLETELY, EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED UNDER FSA 18NO3. WE LEARNED THERE WAS A FSA 19NO2 AND THAT THE DEALER SHOULD REPAIR IT AGAIN AT NO CHARGE, BUT THEY WANT TO CHARGE US $150, EVEN THOUGH FORD SAYS IT SHOULD BE FREE.

11JUN2019 0600 - PULLING INTO PARKING SPACE AT GAS STATION AND WARNING LIGHT COMES ON FOR LOW BRAKE FLUID. BRAKES STILL OPERATING NORMALLY AT THIS POINT. I LEAVE THE GAS STATION AND DRIVE APPROXIMATELY A MILE TO THE CLOSEST STORE TO PURCHASE BRAKE FLUID, PRESUMING ONLY A TOP OFF IS REQUIRED. BY THE TIME I GET TO THE STORE, BRAKING HAS DIMINISHED BY 90%. I HAVE THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE CLOSEST FORD DEALERSHIP, WHERE THEY DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM AS FAILURE IN BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER, WITH BRAKE FLUID LEAKING INTO BRAKE BOOSTER, RESULTING IN TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING.

WHILE DRIVING A LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING POPPED UP ON MY DISPLAY. I WAS ONE BLOCK FROM HOME. I NOTICED NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I READ MY DRIVERS MANUAL. IT SAID TO CHECK THE FLUID BRAKE LEVELS. IF THE LEVELS WERE NOT BETWEEN THE MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM RANGE CALL YOUR DEALER FOR SERVICE. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT. HOWEVER WHEN I GOT BACK IN MY VEHICLE AND BACKED OUT OF MY GARAGE TO DRIVE TO THE DEALER THE BRAKES WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND I WAS UNABLE TO STOP WITHOUT SLAMMING ON MY PARKING BRAKE. SCARED ME TO DEATH. NO ONE WAS HURT LUCKILY. I HAD NO WARNING OF TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE OTHER THAN A WARNING LIGHT MOMENTS BEFORE INDICATING LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVELS. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY OFFERED TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE AND OFFERED NO INFORMATION ABOUT THIS FREQUENCY OR SPONTANEOUS DANGEROUS POTENTIAL WITH THE VEHICLE. I AM FURIOUS. IT COULD'VE KILLED ME OR MY FAMILY OR OTHERS. I WILL SELL THE VEHICLE AS SOON AS IT IS REPAIRED AND I CAN DO SO. THESE VEHICLES ARE NOT SAFE TO BE ON THE ROAD IN MY OPINION.

SERVICE BRAKES
UPON BRAKING WHEN ENTERING THE FLORIDA I-275 ON RAMP, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR ACCOMPANIED BY A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" DASH WARNING. MY BRAKING CAPACITY WAS SEVERELY AFFECTED AND EMERGENCY BRAKING WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN AN OPTION. I WAS ABLE TO EXIT IMMEDIATELY AND PULL OVER TO INVESTIGATE. MY BRAKE RESERVOIR WAS NEARLY EMPTY AND NO SIGN OF LEAKS BENEATH THE VEHICLE. I DROVE VERY SLOWLY (STUPID IDEA) TO MY FORD DEALERSHIP AND EXPLAINED MY ISSUE. DUE TO ME EXTENDED WARRANTY, I WAS ABLE TO RENT A VEHICLE AND LEAVE MINE. TECH CALLED NEXT DAY AND INFORMED ME BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER WAS DEFECTIVE AS WELL AS THE BRAKE BOOSTER. HE INFORMED ME IT "IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY". I HAVE NEWS FOR THEM. THE HUNDRED DOLLAR CO PAY IS GOING TO BE AN "ISSUE"... MY TRUCK IS THE 6CYL. 3.6 LITER ECO BOOST TWIN TURBO. VERY DISCOURAGED FORD IS NOT RECALLING THIS ISSUE AND PRAY SOMEONE IS NOT SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THEIR IRRESPONSIBILITY.

TRUCK WAS 40 MONTHS OLD WITH 33,000 MILES. NO HISTORY OF BRAKE ISSUES OR BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS. BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING LIGHT CAME ON WHILE IN MOTION ABOUT 1 MILE FROM STARTING POINT. WITHIN A FEW MINUTES AND 1-2 MILES OF CONTINUED DRIVING THE BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING OR BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE. TRUCK TOWED TO DEALERSHIP WITH DIAGNOSIS OF MASTER CYLINDER REAR SEAL LEAKING FLUID INTO BRAKE BOOSTER. THIS WAS A SUDDEN AND TOTAL FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF 2013 F150S WERE RECALLED FOR SIMILAR MASTER CYLINDER FAILURES. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD TO EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. MY FAMILY NO LONGER FEELS SAFE IN THIS TRUCK. THIS SORT OF FAILURE IS UNACCEPTABLE GIVEN CURRENT TECHNOLOGY AND ENGINEERING. POOR DESIGN, POOR ENGINEERING, POOR QUALITY CONTROL. THIS UNACCEPTABLE FAILURE ENDANGERS PEOPLE AND FORD SHOULD BE FORCED TO RECALL THIS FAULTY COMPONENT.

AFTER ENTERING THE HIGHWAY AND MAINTAINING A SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY LOST FUNCTION AND WAS ABLE TO BE PUSHED ALL THE WAY BACK WITH NO EFFECTIVENESS. NO ALARMS OR SAFETY CHIMES ALERTED THE FAILURE. THIS WAS FRIGHTENING DUE TO OUR WHOLE FAMILY BEING PRESENT AND THE SPEED OF WHICH WE WERE TRAVELING AT THE POINT OF FAILURE. WE WERE ABLE TO SAFELY COAST ONTO THE SHOULDER AND BE TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP. THE MECHANICS COULD NOT RECREATE THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER IN HOPES THAT THIS WILL CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I AM STILL UNSURE IF THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THE ISSUE CORRECTED PERMANENTLY.

I OWN A 2015 F150 WITH THE 3.5L MOTOR AND 47,000 MILES. THIS MORNING THE " LOW BRAKE FLUID " LIGHT CAME ON THEN WITHIN MINUTES I STARTED EXPERIENCING LOW/SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL. I PULL OVER AND CHECK THE MASTER CYLINDER, THE FLUID LEVEL WAS VERY LOW. I ADD 2 CONTAINERS ( 24 FL. OZ. ) OF BRAKE FLUID TO REFILL MASTER CYLINDER AND DROVE ABOUT 3 MILES WHEN THE BRAKE MALFUNCTION LIGHT RETURN ALONG WITH LOW/SPONGY BRAKE PEDAL. I CALLED FORD ROADSIDE FOR A TOW. THERE WAS NO VISIBLE FLUID LEAK AT THE MASTER CYLINDER AREA OR AT THE 4 WHEELS. HOWEVER I BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A MAJOR LEAK BECAUSE THAT FLUID DID NOT TAKE LONG TO LEAK OUT ( 3 MILES AND ABOUT 10 MINUTES )

WHILE DRIVING I RECEIVED A WARNING LIGHT THAT MY BRAKE FLUID WAS LOW. WENT TO STOP AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I ADDED BRAKE FLUID AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN, PLUS IT STARTED TO PUSH WHITE SMOKE OUT OF THE TAIL PIPES FROM THE BRAKE FLUID ENTERING THE ENGINE THROUGH THE VACUUM SYSTEM FROM THE POWER BOOSTER. THERE IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MASTER CYLINDERS IN THESE VEHICLES AND HOPE YOU ARE ABLE TO CONCLUDE YOUR INVESTIGATION INTO THIS ISSUE AND GET A RECALL IN PROCESS SO THAT I MAY BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIR.

ENGINE
WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AN ERROR WILL RANDOMLY POP UP STATING 'SEE MANUAL' THEN ANOTHER ONE POPS UP STATING 'HILL DESCENT CONTROL FAULT.' THE TRUCK THEN LOSES ALL POWER. YOU HAVE TO CAREFULLY DRIVE OFF THE ROAD (WITH NO POWER) AND STOP AND THEN RESTART. SOMETIMES IT WILL START AND BE FINE, OTHER TIMES THE ERROR WILL APPEAR AGAIN. VERY UNSAFE IF YOU LOSE POWER DRIVING 80MPH DOWN THE INTERSTATE.

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON, THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO STOP, I HAD NO BRAKES. PEDAL WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. JUST MISSED HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. THERE WAS NO WARNING FROM THE TIME THE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAVING NO BRAKES. IT WAS THE FIRST DEPRESSION OF THE PEDAL FOLLOWING THE LIGHT. I WAS ON THOMASVILLE ROAD IN TALLAHASSEE AT 6:30 IN THE MORNING, LIGHT TRAFFIC, FOUR LANE ROAD, 45MPH. FIRESTONE IS TELLING ME THAT REPAIRS WILL COST $2,500+. TRUCK HAS 60,000 MILES, NEEDS NEW MASTER CYLINDER, BOOSTER, FRONT CALIPERS BECAUSE THE LEFT WAS LOCKING UP, NEW FRONT ROTORS, NEW REAR ROTORS AND READ PADS.
