SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ON A 25MPH STREET AND WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN, I BEGAN TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND HEARD A SMALL EXPLOSION/BOOM UNDER THE HOOD. I CONTINUED DRIVING AS THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. THE NEXT STOP SIGN I HAD VERY LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY, THE THIRD STOP SIGN I HAD NO ABILITY TO STOP AND WAS FORCED TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE. WITHIN HALF A MILE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT ALL AND HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS OR WARNINGS ON THE DASH UNTIL AFTER THE TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING, THE ONLY WARNING I HAD THERE WAS AN ISSUE WAS THE LOUD NOISE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 F150 BRAKES FOR DECREASED STOPPING ABILITY, BUT NOT FOR A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES TO NOT BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE UNTIL THERE IS AN INDICATOR LIGHT OR MESSAGE ON THE DASH - AGAIN, I HAD NEITHER OF THESE WARNINGS. ONCE THE VEHICLE GOT TO THE LOCAL DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER BOTH FAILED. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AND HAS INDICATED IT WILL BE SEVERAL WEEKS IF NOT MORE FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE PARTS. I BELIEVE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED AND TREATED AS MORE URGENT AS THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD LEAD TO FATAL ACCIDENTS - FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND NOT IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED, OTHERWISE THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD HAS MADE THE DEALER TAKE APART THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE AREA AROUND THE DEFECTIVE PARTS - I FEEL THEY ARE USING THIS AS A CASE STUDY AND ARE NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THEIR FAILED PARTS THAT COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT.

I OWN A 2014 F150 4X4 WITH 3.5 ECO BOOST V6, ON MY WAY TO WORK THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON THAN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AND IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT THE WARNING DING. WENT TO HIT BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. I HAD COMPLETE FRONT BRAKE FAILURE AND VERY LITTLE BREAKING IN THE REAR WHEELS. WITH WHAT LITTLE REAR BRAKE I HAD I WAS ABLE TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN AND LIMP IT TO THE STORE WHERE I CHECKED THE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS EMPTY. THINKING I WAS THE CAUSE I PUT TWO CANS OF FLUID BACK INTO THE SYSTEM TRYING TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOT 2 BLOCKS LATER THE BREAKS ARE GONE AGAIN, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THEY THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE WARRANTY WORK KNOWING FULL WELL IT WAS A RECALL. I WAS NOT INFORMED OR TOLD BY THE DEALER NOR THE FORD OF THE RECALL AND BREAK SYSTEM FAILURE. THEY ALSO REPORT THAT DEALER STOCK PARTS CAN'T BE USED AND THAT FORD HAS TO SENT THEM THE NEW PARTS. GREAT UNTESTED PARTS THAT I CANNOT GET ACCEPT THROUGH DEALERSHIP. I COMPLAINED TO FORD AND THEY HAVE IGNORED ME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS THE TRUCK AND HAS NOT COMMUNICATED AT ALL TO ME IN A WEEK.
