BRAKES GO ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE AS SOME OF THE OTHER 2013 MODELS WERE RECALLED FOR, BUT FOR SOME REASON, FORD DIDN'T INCLUDE THIS MODEL. THIS MODEL SHOULD BE INCLUDED TOO. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
ON JUNE 3, 2020, MY SON AND I WERE IN MY 2013 FORD F-150 DRIVING WEST ON I-94. MY SON WAS DRIVING. AN ALARM SOUNDED THEN A MESSAGE APPEARED ON THE DASHBOARD ABOUT AN ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. I DON'T RECALL THE WORDING. WE HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 25 MILES FROM HOME WITH APPROXIMATELY 35 MILES TO OUR DESTINATION. WE CONTINUED ON AND I GOT OUT AND MY SON REMAINED IN THE TRUCK FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. HE THEN GOT OUT AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND THERE WAS NO LIQUID UNDER THE TRUCK. I RETURNED TO THE TRUCK AND WE HEADED HOME ON I-696 THEN I-94 WITH NO ISSUES. THE BRAKE MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD WAS LIT. WHEN WE EXITED I-94 AT THE MARYSVILLE, MICHIGAN EXIT WE HAD A COMPLETE AND TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. NO BRAKES! MY SON STEPPED ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE FORCEFULLY AND WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN ENOUGH TO MAKE THE TURN OFF THE EXIT RAMP AND ON TO GRATIOT ROAD. HE RAN THROUGH THE STOP SIGH THERE IN MAKING THE RIGHT TURN ON TO GRATIOT ROAD BUT THANKFULLY NO TRAFFIC WAS RIGHT THERE AT THE SAME TIME. WE DROVE THE ADDITIONAL HALF MILE OR SO TO OUR HOUSE AND PARKED THE TRUCK. WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY. WE THEN DROVE MY SON'S CAR TO AUTO ZONE AND BOUGHT A QUART OF BRAKE FLUID AND POURED IT IN TO THE F-150. AFTER A COUPLE HOURS WE CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY. THERE WAS NOT A DROP OF FLUID ON THE CEMENT DRIVEWAY UNDER THE TRUCK! WE CALLED MARYSVILLE TIRE AND AUTO, INC. AND DROVE THE TRUCK THE LESS THAN HALF MILE TO THEIR LOCATION. THEY PUT IN A NEW MASTER CYLINDER AT A COST OF $519.04. I CALLED FORD MOTOR OWNER RELATIONS AND MADE A REPORT (CASE #26860820) ON JUNE 19, 2020. RESEARCH SHOWS ME THAT OTHER F-150S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR REPLACEMENT OF A MASTER CYLINDER AND I WANT YOU FOLKS TO KNOW OF MY EXPERIENCE. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN ANY FLUID LEAKS UNDER MY TRUCK SINCE I PURCHASED IT IN 2014. THANK YOU. *TR

I HAVE ALREADY HAD THE SAFETY RECALL 19S07 ' 6R80 PERFORMED ON MY 2013 F150 SVT RAPTOR FOR THE SUDDEN DECELERATION ISSUES. THIS WEEK I WAS TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED AND THE TRUCK SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED FROM 6TH GEAR TO 1ST GEAR CAUSING MY TRUCKS REAR-END TO START COMING AROUND. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THAT SAW THE DOWNSHIFT CODES AND ATTEMPTED TO REAPPLY THE RECALL. NOW THEY TELL ME THOUGH THE ACTIONS AND NEAR ACCIDENT ARE INLINE WITH THE RECALL, THE CODE P0961 AND THEREFORE IT IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL. THIS IS AN IMMEDIATE SAFETY ISSUE AND THE SAFETY RECALL 19S07 ' 6R80 RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO COVER THIS CODE. *TR

IN 2019 I TOOK MY FORD TRUCK INTO THE DEALER FOR 2 SEPARATE RECALLS RELATED TO THE DRIVETRAIN. IN 2020, I RETURNED TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH DRIVETRAIN ISSUES AFTER MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY DOWNSHIFTED AND I LOST DRIVETRAIN POWER. I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON TO GET IT TO CROSSROADS FORD OF FUQUAY. THE SERVICE ADVISOR, [XXX] , INFORMED ME THAT THERE WERE DAMAGES TO PARTS OF THE DRIVETRAIN, AND I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS. WHEN I ASKED IF THE DAMAGES WERE A PRODUCT OF THE SUDDEN DOWNSHIFTING RECALL NOTICE, SHE SAID YES. I CONTACTED THE RECALL DEPARTMENT AND STARTED CASE # [XXX]- TO DOCUMENT THE ISSUE. THE REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE RECALL DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT FORD WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGES. I TRIED EXPLAINING THE TO THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE DAMAGES SHOULD FALL UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO HAVE DOWNSHIFT ISSUES AFTER BRINGING IT INTO HAVE THE RECALL REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP IN 2019. THE REPRESENTATIVE TOLD ME THAT BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS AT THE PRESENT TIME OVER THE WARRANTY MILEAGE OF 150,000 MI., THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REPAIRS. I EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS ELIGIBLE WHEN I BROUGHT IT IN FOR WARRANTY REPAIR IN 2019, BUT THE REPRESENTATIVE TURNED ME TO THE CROSSROADS FORD OF FUQUAY DEALERSHIP WHICH SOLD ME THE VEHICLE. THE REP SAID IT WOULD BE CONSIDERED "WORKMANSHIP" ISSUES. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DROPPED MY BILL BY ~$300, BUT I STILL HAD TO PAY OVER $1500 FOR REPAIRS THAT RESULTED FROM THE DOWNSHIFTING.
