| Description of the problem | 2016 f-150 xlt 2. 7l ecoboost model. 6060 miles only! Parked as usual on driveway facing downgrade. I always activate the parking brake due to the incline of the driveway. Started up truck to warm while i loaded infant and gear into cab. Was ready to drive away when i noticed that the parking brake indicator was not lit on the dash. Found it odd but didn't think twice of it. Pushed brakes, disengaged parking brake like usual anyways, and put in drive. Released brakes but truck did not roll forward, even being on downgrade. Double checked i was in drive and revved slightly but no forward movement. Put in neutral and no movement. Pushed brake pedal, put in park, attempted to engage and disengage parking brake, then repeated drive scenario. Nothing worked. Parked and turned truck off. Upon restart, warning on dash popped up showing, "park brake malfunction service now." had to attempt 3rd try to disengage parking brake. Finally it disengaged and i dropped off wife and child and went straight to dealership. Warning on dash was still there when i dropped it off. Dealer verified concerns and bce tested found codes c1034:78 c2007:1d and c2008:1d. Pinpoint tests performed. Inspected rear brakes, wiring, connectors - all looked ok. Reset system. Tsb on 2015 models for faulty parking brakes but does not apply to 2016 models yet. Nothing dealer could do since it was not listed under this tsb other than reset computer and hope it doesn't happen again. Seems like same part(s) is being used on 2016 model but tsb doesn't apply to 2016 model. Please look into expanding tsb to cover 2016 models. Faulty electronic parking brake is unacceptable. Not being able to disengage it while parked is one thing, but having it possibly engage while driving can be catastrophic. |
