| Description of the problem | Saw recent news article about f150 brakes.. I purchased my 2015 f150 last march 2015. With only 980 miles (yes 980) on it my brakes began to fade out. Ultimately they stopped working and the vehicle would not come to a stop as the brakes continually faded out. Brought it back to ford who ran several tests and could not find out why this happened. They confirmed that there was a problem but did not know why. They told me same. The western u. S. Ford representative even called me to apologize. Ultimately they replaced my rotors and pads, not certain what else they may have replaced. I asked where all the parts were going that they replaced and was told by the rep that they would be sent back to their engineers and i would most likely never hear why the brakes failed. I do not have documentation. The vehicle was purchased and serviced at towne ford in redwood city ca. I can prove this occurred by asking them for my work order which should be in their system if needed. |
