| Description of the problem | While driving to work a red brake warning light came on the display and i tried the brakes. The brake pedal went to the floor and i had no brakes. I pulled over in a safe spot checked the brake reservoir and it was completely empty. I started the vehicle and smoke started pouring out of the exhaust. Had it towed to a ford/lincoln dealer and they said the master cylinder and brake booster needs to be replaced $890. 00. There is no ford recall for 2016 f150s which is unbelievable since this is a serious safety issue. Did some research and there are multiple lawsuits for the same issue on 2013-2018 ford f150s. I called ford had a hard time understanding the rep and she created a case number. Called them the next day after speaking with ford dealer and there was no case to be found. The second ford rep made a case # cas22180343, was very helpful and the rep said ford will make it right. This remains to be seen. Meanwhile i'm without a vehicle. I had a 2005 toyota tacoma and never had any type of issues. Hopefully this helps and gets ford to recall 2016 f150s so no one gets hurt. Also had to replace all brakes, rotors and pads for $924. 72 on a 50k mile vehicle is very questionable. Thank you |
