| Description of the problem | On february 17, 2016 i experienced total brake loss of my 2015 f-150. The brake loss occurred at low speed, less than 10mph. I had to frantically pump the brakes to stop on a flat level surface. Where the brake loss occurred there was no snow or ice. I took the vehicle to the ford dealer and they said they could not find any issues. No warning lights turned on. The vehicle brakes functioned normally until today when i again experienced total loss of brakes! Again it was at low speed, this time on a steep grade with minor snow accumulation. The anti lock brakes did not activate and the brake pedal went to the floor. I was barely able to stop the vehicle when i reached a level surface. As of today the brake pedal continues to go to the floor. The vehicle brakes seem to function ok at high speeds, however while parked at a stop light the pedal continues to depress. I called ford because i am very concerned about what is happening., however they do not seem to take the complaint seriously. I asked them to tow the vehicle to a dealership because it's under warranty and i also have roadside assistance and an extended warranty. I was told by ford that they could not tow it until next wednesday. I finally ended up driving an unsafe vehicle over 45 miles to a dealership. The vehicle will be looked at tomorrow, hopefully!!! This is a dangerous situation that has happened twice, and i feel ford is sweeping it under the rug. Please look into this before someone needlessly dies. Thank you! |
