| Component | SERVICE BRAKES |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The brakes on my ford f150 went out completely, while driving. The time from brake light to no brakes was about 3-4 minutes. I had to use the emergency brake to maneuver. Fortunately i was turning into a gas station. Although a recall has been created for 2013-2014 ford f150 for the exact issue with my truck, my truck is not a part of the recall (brake master cylinder leaking into the brake booster). This is very dangerous. I had no brakes. I asked the ford service provider if they report the issue, and the response was they do not. I am concerned that there are other drivers out there who will have their brakes go out while driving. Please review this immediately so that others will know there is a possibility their brakes could go out. I am attaching the service detail. I was told that the brake master cylinder just has a faulty part that went bad. How does that happen to a brake system? Not sure what would have happened if my wife or son had been driving. |
