Was towing a smaller pick up on a car carrier approaching a stop light aprox 30 feet in front of me at about 40 MPH . A car in the lane to my right pulled into my lane & I applied my breaks a bit harder now that I have less room to stop. My truck did not slow down any, I pushed the break peddle to the floor & still wasn't slowing down. I pushed the emergency brake to the floor yet still collided with the car in front of me, causing serious damage to both vehicles. After my truck was repaired I picked it up at 6pm one evening & the next morning called back saying something was seriously wrong with my truck. It was randomly slowing down & speeding up out of my control & hearing a odd noise from the engine area. 4 hours later I slammed into another car because it would not slow down & stop.

Ford, f-150, 2013 ecoboost (109k miles). While driving the breaks become hard as a rock, fail to stop truck and check break systems warning comes onto dash. Happens during moist weather conditions. Most recently, after coasting to a stop and stranded with no breaks on a rural road (actively raining), I turned off the traction control and breaks returned to normal. This break failure happened 4 times to date, during high speeds, average speeds and low speeds. This is extremely dangerous. No recall for my VIN, although the truck meets recall details.
Billy cain ford sold a truck to me as low mileage with no carfax damage. Salesman tom chacko promised a carfax report at closing. He failed to produce the report upon delivery to me at work. Tom vowed the truck had no damages. Carfax/auto check showed 4 brake failures and 2 alternator failures. Greene ford verified flood damage 12-11-18. Tom chacko denied their findings 12-12-18, requested written report. Lemon squad documented flood damage 12-26-18. All three reports show consistent flood damage. Jason pirkle warranty/finance manager refused to repair failed emissions stating they were not covered under my extended warranty purchase. The emissions coded 170mi after purchase indicating that code was reset before my purchase. The emissions damage was covered under emissions performance warranty coverage federal mandate. Greene ford gladly repaired the emissions with no issues. Jason pirkle presented the truck to wells fargo bank, state farm insurance, and ford motor warranty division as undamaged value. The truck only has salvage value because of the flood damage. Over $5000 in repairs and 34 days in the repair shop. The truck has massive electrical issues from flood damage. I have not driven the truck since 12-11-2018. Major efforts were taken to deceive the buyer of this truck. If billy cain ford had presented the truck truthfully I would have never purchased the truck. Billy cain ford did a purchase inspection, maintenance service inspection, and complete detail so they had knowledge of flood damage. A registered mail request for buy back was sent to cody cain 1-17-2019 and he not responded to the request. Billy cain ford has not made a honest written offer to resolve this issue to date.

A advance track and brake service light came on. After a dealership inspection I was informed the pressure transducer is showing over 200 psi when no brake is applied.

I have had 3 issues with the vehicles brake master cylinder failing. All in a 4 month period. The brake master cylinder fails and I am left with little or no brakes. The dealership tells me I have some kind of contamination in the fluid. They have replaced the master cylinder twice and ford will not do anything about the problem, so I am advised to replace all brake components to the tune of 2500. Dollars. This is a serious issue that ford motor company should address and wont help me at all. The brakes don't give you any warning when they are going to fail. Every time they fail I have been driving, luckily no one has been killed or injured yet. Nobody can guaranty me if I fix the braking system that it will work like it is supposed to.
Brake master cylinder fail. I have had 2 brake master cylinder fails and will be taking the vehicle in for the 3rd time to replace another brake master cylinder. This has happened since august 2018. 3 master cylinders within the last 5 months.
3 major brake jobs in less that 70 thousand miles and a recall to the brake master cylinder. I have had a pulsing in my pedal and front end literally at 20k mile intervals and have had to machine / resurface or fully replace rotors and pads 3 times on a truck with only 60k in miles on it ford still refuses to admit a problem however the rotors they are using have since been replaced in fact after the 2 years of using these rotors but the problem still remains I just want to something on record should something happen to myself or any one I have as a passenger as written documentation of this continued problem. This is not only dangerous its irresponsible on their part

I woke up in early morning to leave for work. I backed out of my drive way and pushed brake pedal to stop truck and put it in drive, but the truck rolled down an hill and into trees. While pushing the brake pedal it went to the floor like I had no brakes at all. The truck did not stop till it was in the tree. My brake fluid is low which is a sign of the proposed recall which ford is disputing. This is extremely dangerous and ford says they are not aware of the problem although after looking online, it shows they are being investigated due to the issues with the brake booster box and master cylinder malfunctioning. Please help us make ford recall these before someone is seriously injured or dies. My truck is also showing brake fluid has been used, its about 1/2 full now. This is a common issue found when the master cylinder problem is in the truck.
Brake fluid in reservoir keeps getting low every few hours and the "low brake fluid" level light becomes illuminated. This started a few days ago and I just saw a notice from gas buddy informing me of a recall #16s24 that may be related to this issue, but when I entered my VIN in the federal safety agency website, there is no recall noted for my vehcile.
Brake fluid level sensor came on while driving on interstate at highway speeds. No brakes after that point. Coasted off the highway, checked fluid level, empty. Added 20 oz to max fill level, leaked out inside of 6 minutes. Towed to dealership, replaced brake master cylinder under ford recall 16s24. Not sure booster was replaced. Issue is I check my fluid level every week before getting on the highway, I knew there was a recall issued march 2017, but with my fluid level standing full, didn't think it was an issue, I had plans to do the recall in oct. This is not a slow leak, this is a full on seal failure with draining of the reservoir inside 6 minutes with the truck parked. When that light comes on, you are done with brakes. I just wanted you to know this is a sudden and total loss of fluid and not just a "leak". And there are no rear brakes, you don't just loose the front brakes, you have zero brakes. Didn't have to apply the emergency brake, was able to coast to a stop in the parking lot of a gas station.
As I was driving home from work on the highway, I started to stop at a red light. My brake pedal went all the way to the floor with very minor speed reduction. I attempted to pump the brake pedal, but had to use the emergency brake to actually come to a stop. After some investigation, I was told my master cylinder had been leaking into my brake booster and both needed to be changed. This was recalled in 2016, but only for 2013-2014 f150 with a 3.5l engine. Since I have a 2013 f150 with a 5.0l mine was not recalled which almost caused me to have a wreck. Now I am paying out of pocket to fix it.
Brake failure due to master cylinder leakage into brake booster
The brakes were scrubbing. Didn't have any brakes. Took it to the dealership they replaced the master cylinder but told us it was not in a recall. The same problem existed with this truck as with the trucks that were recalled. Why wasn't m y truck included in the recall? This happened while I was driving on the highway.
While moving at speed below 10 MPH, but using the brake at times, my "low brake fluid" warning indicator came on after driving only 200 yards. Even after filling the brake fluid container, it again came on after only about 500 yards. I carefully took the truck to my local ford dealer who found that the master cylinder was leaking fluid into the brake booster. This is identical to the ford recall #16s24. However ford says that my VIN is not among the recall list, but obviously the recall should be extended to include my vehicle that exhibits the identical recall that ford describes.
~95% brake power loss. Vehicle was stationary, and once started the low brake fluid light came on. Brake function was reduced to about 5% of normal function. Refilled fluid in reservoir and all fluid was lost during first 5 miles of driving. At this time there was only about 5% of brake power remaining and the vehicle had to be stopped using gear downshifts and the emergency brake. I checked over the vehicle and there was no apparent fluid loss in the engine bay or the brake lines. Took to ford dealership and it was diagnosed as a master cylinder leak into the brake booster. This problem is an active recall with 2013 and 2014 model year f-150's, however my manufacture date did not fall within this recall.
While in motion on city street, brake warning illuminated and brake pedal went to the floor when depressed with virtually no braking action. Dealer stated brake fluid went into the brake booster and had to replace the brake booster and brake master. Service document attached.
On 6-26 of this year 2018, we got into my truck to go to tuesday night church service. And as I was waiting for the garage door to open, I placed my transmission in reverse put my foot on the brake pedal. As I did, the pedal went all the way to the floor. I immediately put my transmission in park. The next day I had it towed to a garage for repair. The master cylinder had failed and all the brake fluid had leaked into the booster. The vehicle was repaired with new ford parts but I am afraid to drive it even though the brakes are now working fine again for fear they could again fail and someone could get hurt or killed.
I was driving on a city road going 40mph. I went to hit the brakes at a stoplight and the pedal went to the floor. It ended up being the master brake cylinder was leaking into the brake booster.
