Brand new king ranch ford f-150 brakes recurrently fail. No accident but they currently have greatly reduced stopping power, super dangerous. Ford reports long back order 3+weeks on master cylinder, makes me wonder if there is larger issue.

2.5 month old truck with approximately 7k miles driven. I was rolling down a hill about 10mph and tried to stop to talk with a neighbor. The pedal travel didn't feel normal and i rolled about 5 feet past my neighbor. After coming to a stop the pedal slowly sunk to the floor. I shifted to park then released and reapplied the pedal. There was initial resistance at roughly the normal pedal height, and again the pedal…

Brakes completely fail, when i pushed the brake pedal down. It went straight to the floor with no resistance. This has happened 4 times. Sometimes pumping the brakes helps. The emergency brake was used to stop the vehicle 2 times. Once a sharp swerve off the road while pumping to stop. The last time i coasted to a stop. There seems to be no matter of speed, type of stop or incline in common. Except the vehicle is in…

While slowing to pull into my companies driveway off of a very busy highway my brakes failed. As i begin to apply the brake pedal it had little to no resistance and the pedal went all the way to the floor with almost zero stopping power (on dry surface). I knew i would definitely crash if i tried to pull into the drive at the rate i was traveling, so i turned up the shoulder against oncoming traffic to regain…

Adaptive cruise control braking issue. My new 2016 ford f150 platinum edition pick up truck will automatically brake hard when passing some large trucks while operating in adaptive cruise control. The lane ahead of me was clear with no vehicles in sight in my lane each time this happened. The large trucks i passed were on my right and not in my lane or even close to the lane markers. The large trucks did not have…

I agreed to purchase this f150 on 1/27/2016 but requested that the mushy brakes be repaired first (pedal goes to floor). Went back to dealer 1/27 to complete paperwork and pick up repaired truck. Was told that the truck was checked by the service dept. And that brakes were normal. I completed the paperwork but left the truck there to be checked by the service dept. Again the next morning. I got a phone call the next…
