My fiance and i were driving down the highway, with no cruise control on, and suddenly my sensors go off as if i was about to hit something. Then after a second (probably was only a split-second, but it felt like forever), it went away. If adaptive cruise control would have been enabled, this would have caused the brakes to automatically press (i know because this has happened to me before). I was passing a semi, if…

Brakes are rubbing and dealer has reground front disc brakes twice without fixing problem. Suspect that brake calipers are not completely disengaging after brakes are applied. Brake pedal will go all the way to the floor after applying brakes.

I just read an article about the brake failures on the 2015 & 2016 f-150. I have a 2015 f-150 platinum 4x4 with approximately 31,000 miles and experienced a similar event about 2 weeks ago. As i approached a stop signal on my normal route home, the brakes failed when i stepped on the pedal, it acted like the anti-skid brake system had taken over and wouldn't allow the pedal to apply hydraulic pressure to the brake…

I was driving the vehicle when its diagnostic system reported "low brake fluid". I pulled into the closest gas station and checked brake fluid level. It was almost totally out, so i purchased 2 small cans and filled up brake fluid reservoir. I had just had the vehicle into the dealer for its scheduled maintenance, so it was odd that brake fluid was low. No external leaks were visible. I drove another 5 miles, and…

My girlfriend and i were driving down the highway on a sunny day at around 70 mph. I was using adaptive cruise control. There were other cars on the road, but none within distance to affect my speed/cruise control (they were all way ahead or behind).

Complete brake failure. Brake fluid low level light illuminated while driving a very busy road and within 2 minutes the master cylinder had depleted all fluid and brake pedal was going all the way to floor board. Luckily the wife was able to get the truck into a parking lot unscathed. Truck has been at dealer for a week due to master cylinder being on backorder. Apparently the issue affecting 2013-2014 f-150s is…
