Description of the problem | Catastrophic brake failure during normal operation on a city street i was able to safely stop due to a low fluid light but by the time i was at a safe place to stop the brakes had almost completely failed. I had to be towed to dealer. Was told the master cylinder, brake booster, valve assembly, and vacuum brake sensor all needed to be replaced because the mc was leaking into the brake booster causing them to fail. This is the exact issue that the 2013-2014 f150s (very similar platform) had a recall for. Https://media. Ford. Com/content/fordmedia/fna/us/en/news/2016/05/25/ford-motor-company-issues-one-safety-recall-and-one-safety-compl. Html service tech stated the mc had likely been leaking for some time to cause the failure. I had the vehicle in for routine maintenance at the dealer which included a full brake inspection which was given a clean bill of health less than one month prior to this failure. |
