Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	When backing out of driveway at approx. 5mph, the power brakes become spongy and can be pushed all the way to the floor. The vehicle fails to stop and the brakes must be pumped several times before they work. This only occurs at initial startup (first use of the brakes) that day. This happens almost daily during warm/hot weather months. The problem has existed since the vehicle was purchased and i have taken it to the dealership 2-3 times regarding this issue. However, they could not duplicate problem or determine the cause. It's been happening for the past 3-4 years and it's only a matter of time before i don't stop in time and backup into my neighbors car across the street. I have the 2012 ford f150 w/ eco boost six-cylinder engine and find similar complaints on the internet regarding this truck. A recall for similar brake problems was issued on 2013-2014 year models but not 2012. My truck is not used daily and has about 30,000 miles on it.
