On 5/17/2016 while backing out of a parking space, i applied the brakes to place the vehicle into drive and the brake pedal went to the floor. The truck did not stop immediately but i could hear the sound of what i assumed were the brake pads against the rotors and the truck slowly came to a stop.

I purchased the vehicle and a couple weeks after having it i got a brake warning and it said low brake fluid. I filled the brake fluid up and drove it a few more day and again low brake fluid appeared on the dash. I took the car to the dealer and they could not find a leak. And i drove the truck back home only to put more brake fluid in. I also told the dealer that my brakes don't feel safe when i push on them…

I got into my truck, started it - nothing unusual. Put the truck in reverse, it started back, i pressed the brake - the pedal went to the floor without stopping the vehicle. I believe it was probably idling a little higher than normal in warm-up mode. I had to engage the emergency brake to stop the vehicle and avoid hitting a fence. The low brake fluid warning came up afterwards, followed by a brake system red…

I almost hit the neighbors car backing out. I had to get my truck…

While going down a toll road at 85 mph (the speed limit) a brake warning light came on. After pumping the breaks a couple of times it was obvious that i was losing fluid somewhere. Within 10 minutes the breaks barely responded to my pumping so i took the truck to the ford dealer that was nearby. The master cylinder apparently failed with no warning or without any outside "issues". The truck has 69,000 miles so the…

Started vehicle after work, low brake fluid warning indicated. Pressed the pedal and it went straight to the floor. Vehicle has less than 17,000 miles on it and less than 2 years old. No brake pressure is a serious safety risk. Called ford and they sent a tow truck. I have concerns that it could happen again even after the truck is repaired.

Ford f150 supercab 4x4 5.0 automatic. Purchased vehicle new in february 2015. Shortly after purchase, i noticed the truck would begin to creep forward while stopped in traffic with the brake applied. This would require more effort to be applied to the brake pedal until the pedal would eventually go all the way to the floor. I took the truck in to the dealer at around 500 miles to have the brakes checked but was told…

The rear brakes of my 2014 f 150 sporadically lock up for a few sec after short or long distance highway drive. The actual lock up occurs when i make a turn into and around a parking lot. Once i have completed the turn the brakes quickly release themselves. I have taken it to my local ford dealer but can never replicate it, so nothing has been to even look at the braking system. The dealership told me it is probably…
