| Description of the problem | I own a 2014 f150 4x4 with 3. 5 eco boost v6, on my way to work the brake light came on than the low brake fluid light came on and immediately after that the warning ding. Went to hit brakes and they went to the floor and the truck would not stop. I had complete front brake failure and very little breaking in the rear wheels. With what little rear brake i had i was able to slow the truck down and limp it to the store where i checked the fluid level and it was empty. Thinking i was the cause i put two cans of fluid back into the system trying to get it to the dealership. Not 2 blocks later the breaks are gone again, i was able to get it to the dealership where they said they thought this would be warranty work knowing full well it was a recall. I was not informed or told by the dealer nor the ford of the recall and break system failure. They also report that dealer stock parts can't be used and that ford has to sent them the new parts. Great untested parts that i cannot get accept through dealership. I complained to ford and they have ignored me. The dealership has the truck and has not communicated at all to me in a week. |
