BRAKE PEDAL WENT DIRECTLY TO THE FLOOR THEN THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL CAME ON. THANK GOD I HAD JUST PARKED WHEN IT HAPPENED. I JUST DROVE HOME FROM A 2 HOUR LONG HIGHWAY TRIP WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. I GUESS I COULD BE CONSIDERED LUCKY THAT IT HAPPENED WHEN I PARKED AND NOT GOING 75 MPH.

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN MY BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT TO CHECK THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND DISCOVERED IT WAS ALMOST EMPTY. WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, SO THE TRUCK HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE CLOSEST AUTO CENTER BECAUSE THERE WAS NO BRAKING ABILITY! WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED - THE BRAKE FLUID WAS LEAKING INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER SENSOR. A BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER SHOULD NOT FAIL ON A NEW VEHICLE THAT HAS ONLY BEEN ON THE ROAD 2.5 YEARS AND DRIVEN ONLY 48,000 MILES!

SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE DRIVING MY TRUCK ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH, I ENTERED THE OFF RAMP AND APPLIED PRESSURE ON MY BRAKE PEDAL. MY BRAKES FAILED AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I QUICKLY APPLIED MY PARKING BRAKE, LOCKING UP THE REAR WHEELS. WITH NO LOAD IN THE BED OF THE TRUCK, I SLID FOR WHAT SEEMED TO BE HUNDREDS OF FEET BEFORE COMING TO A STOP. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NO ONE IN FRONT OF ME DURING THE SKID. I TOOK IT TO A TIRE REPAIR VENDOR CLOSE BY, AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT AS A MASTER CYLINDER FAILURE THAT ALSO RUINED THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I CALLED FORD CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND OPENED A CASE FOR MY VEHICLE. I HAVE READ THAT THE 2013 AND 2014 MODELS OF THE F150 WITH THE 3.5L ENGINE WERE RECALLED FOR THIS PROBLEM, BUT THAT 2015 MODELS SUCH AS MINE HAVE NOT BEEN INCLUDED AS OF THIS DATE.

STEERING
WHILE DRIVING, A SLIGHT RATTLE IN THE STEERING WAS NOTICED. THE LAST TWO DAYS, STARTING ON JUNE 5, 2018, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOTICEABLY LOOSE WITH LOTS OF AXIAL MOVEMENT IN THE STEERING SHAFT WITHIN THE STEERING COLUMN COVER. IT IS GETTING EXPONENTIALLY LOOSER EVERY TRIP. IN A SHORT TIME, THIS WILL NOT BE SAFE OR POSSIBLE TO DRIVE. THE STATE INSPECTION IN NEW HAMPSHIRE WILL NOT LIKELY PASS THIS AS IT IS NOW. IT IS DISAPPOINTING AND WILL LIKELY BE VERY EXPENSIVE TO HAVE FIXED. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD COVER THIS KIND OF FAILURE, ESPECIALLY AT 37,000 MILES. I WOULD SIMPLY LIKE A DIAGNOSTIC AT A FORD DEALERSHIP, AT NO COST TO ME, WITH THE LIST OF PARTS WITH CORRESPONDING FORD PART NUMBERS WHICH I WILL NEED TO REPLACE WHEN I TEAR THIS DOWN. IF THEY WOULD LIKE TO REPAIR IT FOR ME, EVEN BETTER. I FIRST NOTICED THIS PROBLEM WHILE DRIVING EAST, APPROXIMATELY 50MPH ON NH STATE HIGHWAY 101 IN AMHERST, NH. WHEN LOOKING AT IT AGAIN IN THE PARKING LOT TODAY, THE WHEEL IS NOTICEABLY WOBBLING BY FEEL AND BY EYE. IT IS WITHIN MY BEST INTERESTS TO FIX THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

SERVICE BRAKES
DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A BRAKE FLUID LOW MESSAGE CAME UP ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN. I IMMEDIATELY TESTED MY BRAKES AND THEY STILL WORKED SO I PLANNED ON PULLING INTO THE NEXT SERVICE STATION TO CHECK THE FLUID LEVEL AND POSSIBLY PURCHASE MORE FLUID. UPON HAVING TO SLOW DOWN A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED TO DEPRESS THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THROTTLE IT UNTIL I WAS SAFELY OFF THE ROAD AND COULD PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. I WAS TOWED BACK TO MY SERVICE STATION WHERE MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD FAILED AND LEAKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER. I DO HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH FORD AND AFTER STARTING THE PROCESS TO GET THE WORK COVERED UNDER WARRANTY I HAVE BEEN RECEIVING THE RUN AROUND. I WILL BE TRYING A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP TODAY.

AFTER ABOUT 35,000 MILES I STARTED NOTICING A VIBRATION WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. TOOK TO A FORD DEALER WHO INSPECTED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS FINE. TOOK TO CHRISTIAN BROTHERS ONE MONTH LATER AND WAS TOLD THE ROTORS WERE WARPED AND NEEDED TO BE RESURFACED. 80% OF MY DRIVING IS INTERSTATE TRAVEL WITH VERY LITTLE STOP AND GO. I ALSO DO NOT DRIVE AROUND WITH ONE FOOT ON THE BRAKE ALL THE TIME. THEREFORE MY GUESS IS THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY A DESIGN PROBLEM OF SOME SORT. ROTOR SHOULD OBVIOUSLY LAST MUCH LONGER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE "THIRD BRAKE LIGHT" IS MELTING DUE TO EXCESS HEAT PUT OFF BY THE BULBS.NOT ONLY IS THE HOUSING MELTING BUT IT HAS ALLOWED LARGE AMOUNTS OF CONDENSATION IN WHEN IT RAINS. THIS PROBLEM WAS FIRST NOTICED ROUGHLY A YEAR AGO BUT CONTINUES TO GET WORSE. FORD NOT ONLY WANTS TO CHARGE ME FOR A REPAIR BUT THEY PLAN TO USE THE SAME PART WHICH I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN WITH THE SAME ISSUE IN ABOUT A DOZEN 2015 F150S AS WELL AS READ ABOUT IT IN VARIOUS FORUMS ONLINE EFFECTING COUNTLESS 2015 F150 OWNERS. I HAVE PHOTOS THAT DATE BACK TO OVER A YEAR AGO THAT SHOW THE PROGRESSION OF THE ISSUE OVER TIME. MY FEAR IS THAT WITH TIME IT MAY CAUSE AN EVEN BIGGER ISSUE BY ALLOWING WATER TO COME IN AND EVEN BE A POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND BRAKE LIGHT WARNINGS ON DASH CAME ON. BRAKE FLUID RESIVOIR WAS EMPTY. CHECKED EVERY BRAKE LINE AND CONNECTION, ALL WERE TOTALLY DRY WITH NO LEAKS ANYWHERE. I READ ONLINE THIS IS VERY COMMON AND I AM NOT SEEING ANY LEAKS BECAUSE THE MASTER CYLINDER IS LEAKING AND FILLING UP THE BOOSTER. I AM GOING TO CALL THE DEALER ON MONDAY BUT I HAVE 50K MILES SO IT'S OUT OF FACTORY WARRANTY AND I DO NOT HAVE AN ACTIVE RECALL, SEEMS MANY OTHERS ARE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND IT'S A CRITICAL SAFETY CONCERN AND THE TRUCK CANNOT BE DRIVEN AS IS.
