You had to press your foot all the way to the floor board to stop the truck. Lucky it start happening when my wife and daughter were traveling at low speed, because if they were traveling at a high rate of speed or needed to stop it would have been an accident. Ford repair and said the master cylinder needed replaced. The truck is brand new with less than 6k miles on it.

My new f-150 which was purchased with 10 miles on it has been having severe brake issues. When ever the vehicle sits overnight or sits for a few days the brakes seem to immediately fail when they are applied in both forward and reverse. The brake pedal shimmies like crazy and kind of surges when applied. It almost feel like a tire is going to fall off. *tr

In other words, the brakes do not stop the truck. It has happened on several occasions to 3 different drivers of the vehicle. It happens while driving - but not all of the time. On…
