| Description of the problem | I picked up my 2015 ford f150 on thursday of last week because the master cylinder was leaking and caused my wife to lose her brakes while driving on the highway. I drove my truck to our family reunion about an hour and half away on saturday which was 2 days after i had picked my truck up and the cruise control would not shut off by taping the brake. My wife and i were traveling on a highway and i was in the slow lane with the cruise set at 72mph. I was approaching the vehicle in front of me, so i looked in my left mirror and noticed a car coming up beside me. I was unable to pass, so i touched the brakes to disengage the cruise control and i looked back in my mirror again to see if the car beside me was going to pass me soon. My wife then said what are you doing? I told her i am going to pass this car in front of us after the car beside me passed us. She then said well you better slow down because you are about to hit the car in front of us. Here my cruise control never disengaged so i touched the brakes 2 more times and nothing happened. I finally had to slam on the breaks and it finally disengaged. I had almost rear ended the car in front of us. I then got into the fast lane and placed the cruise control on again and found out that i was unable to disengage the cruise control by tapping the brakes like you should. I had to push the brake pedal 2/3 of the way to the floor which at this point you are stopping on the highway. This is the third safety issue in less than 1 year that almost caused an accident and that it has been towed to ford. My truck is currently at ford. Dec 2018 throttle body went bad and shut off with my wife driving my truck, sept 2019 master cylinder went bad and caused my wife to lose the brakes while on the highway, and sept 2019 cruise control not working properly almost causing an accident. |
