| Description of the problem | Truck was 40 months old with 33,000 miles. No history of brake issues or brake warning lights. Brake fluid low warning light came on while in motion about 1 mile from starting point. Within a few minutes and 1-2 miles of continued driving the brakes completely failed. Brake pedal went to floor with no braking or brake fluid pressure. Truck towed to dealership with diagnosis of master cylinder rear seal leaking fluid into brake booster. This was a sudden and total failure of the braking system. Hundreds of thousands of 2013 f150s were recalled for similar master cylinder failures. This is a serious safety hazard to everyone on the road. My family no longer feels safe in this truck. This sort of failure is unacceptable given current technology and engineering. Poor design, poor engineering, poor quality control. This unacceptable failure endangers people and ford should be forced to recall this faulty component. |
