| Description of the problem | Purchased f150 in march 2018, first owner of vehicle. On september 14th, 2018 the vehicle, while driving at a high speed (~65 mph) did a kick and took the vehicle out of cruise control. Immediately the dash displayed "check brake system". Brakes responded what felt like normal, pulled over, turned off vehicle and inspected the truck. After a few minutes turned truck on and error message was gone. No other warning lights displayed. Vehicle functioned normally. February 15, 2019, same thing happened with "check system brakes"; but this time appeared at slower speed (~5 mph) as i was pulling into my garage. Turned off vehicle, message display disappeared, no other warning lights. Called ford dealership and said they haven't heard of this issue and bring it in if it happens again. Seemed they didn't want to deal with me then. Today may 17th, the same incident as the first one happened again at the same speeds and location on my drive (have ~1 hour commute). However, when i applied my brakes there was ~1-2 second delay, felt a had kick and grip of the brakes. Immediately pulled over and turned off truck. Again when starting message display was gone and truck functioned normally. I will be calling my dealership today and they will be getting me in, no ifs, and or buts about it. Can contact you back after they look at vehicle. Hopefully the codes are in the system. Do have video evidence of each incident to show dealership the exact problem if codes do not appear. |
