Brakes started grinding and a fluid like substance was coming out. Took it in for a check and brake pad had came off and caliper had busted and was leaking brake fluid.
2014 Ford F-150 brakes complaints
Page 5 of 13: complaints 101 to 130 of 346, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle down shifted from 6th gear to 1st gear, while going 70. Rear tires locked up and slide. Vehicle repeat the issue after a brief stop on the side of road to check for broken parts and determining there was nothing visually broken and no warning lights, error codes, or weird sounds when cranked. Pulled vehicle over and called for a trailer. Trailered vehicle to residence. Found where Ford has a recall for similar event in the 2011-13 models related to OSS and PCM.
On 2 separate occasions while driving I have went to stop and brake pedal would not push down . Brake system failure light and alarm came on
Brakes are hard to push. Verified by independent service center. Warning message when it happened.
My 2014 f150 listed above is having braking issues. The pedal is hard as a rock at times and you have to put all of your weight into stopping the vehicle. When this occurs it makes a gurggling sound out at the brake booster. Upon viewing some mechanical sites on the net this has been a recall for this year model truck as the master cylinder could be leaking into the booster and or the brake booster has gone bad. I put in my vehicle VIN and it shows zero recalls for my truck. How can this be when it's exactly what has happened to others of the same year regaurdless of where it was built. My 17 year old son drove this to school today and almost hit another vehicle upon parking as the pedal got so hard he could hardly stop the truck from hitting them, the light did come on in the dash panel but went out. Will this be a recall in the near future before someone is seriously injured? Are we supposed to get this fix at our expense? Please contact us at your earliest convenience to help us with this matter.
Hard brake pedal at stopping and backing up with a grinding sounds
Brake fluid leaking into break booster
I bought my 2014 Ford F150 3.5 L truck new from Livermore, CA Ford. At 24,158 miles I received a recall for a brake master cylinder failure notice. Ford repaired the brake system under 16S24. At 64,018 June 2021 as I was driving out of my church parking lot I stepped on the brakes and pedal went to the floor. No other indicator. I checked online and found the Ford recall. I had not remembered that they already fixed it. When I took it to the dealer they said I would have to pay because there was no recall on it. I guess when they fixed it the first time they took my VIN off of the list. I could have killed someone because the failure was immediate. I paid over $1000 for the repair and contacted Ford. They said too bad, that there is no recall. I have been a mechanic over 60 years and never had to replace a master cylinder. Then my new modern F150 has it fail twice in 3 years? I tried to file a complaint with Ford and they told me no. That with no recall too bad. I love my truck but this dangerous situation should not be allowed.
Our 2014 F150 has had a problem with brakes squealing since day 1 I've checked for recalls but our vehicle doesn't fit the criteria. We are told by a brakes company we do not have a brake problem . There are only 68000 miles on vehicle something has been causing the noise the entire time The reason we are only now checking is my husband just got hearing aids and now acknowledges the problem( wouldn't take my word for it) Have there been any other complaints regarding this?
Complete hydraulic brake failure (front and rear). While the vehicle was in motion, brakes were applied to stop the vehicle, but the brake peddle went completely to the floor without any braking operation. The vehicle had to be stopped with the parking brake. Upon further inspection, the brake fluid reservoir had fluid in it, but brake fluid was leaking out from the region of the master cylinder and booster. This vehicle was recalled for the same, or similar issues, and the recall repairs were performed by Ford in 2016, however, this issue occurred after the recall repairs.
Lost brakes at the same time the low Brake Fuid warning light came on. Was able to slow down by shifting the automatic transmission into a lower gear and using the Emergency Brake. The the fluid in the Brake Fluid reservoir was empty. I refilled the Brake Fluid reservoir up to the full line. It Brake warning light was off so I decided to try to make it back home. About 2 uses of the brakes and they failed completely again as I used the same method of stopping the truck as I did before when I found a safe place to get off the road. After having it towed to my house I pulled the Master Cylinder off the Brake Booster and the Booster was full of Brake Fluid. The rear seal of the Master Cylinder had completely failed. The issue is the same issue as on the other 2 recalls on 2014 Ford F150 Ecoboost and the other 2014 Ford F150 with the rear seal on the Brake Master Cylinder failing which allows the Brake Fluid to be pumped into the Brake Booster instead of the Brake Calipers. If they used the same Brake Master Cylinder on the 5.0 Liter F150 as they did on the recalled F150s, then they need to recall these also.
We received a low brake fluid light on the dash. I verified the low level was legit by inspecting the brake fluid reservoir, which was indeed empty. I filled the reservoir with DOT 4, I drove approximately 2 miles, and received the low level brake fluid alarm again. I drove approximately 17 miles until I could get more DOT 4, during this 17 miles I used the trailer brakes to stop as I had no Ford F-150 braking. I filled the reservoir with more DOT 4 and drove 2.5 hours home, with the low fluid level alarm in due my master cylinder and booster continuously leaking… the truck got turned in the Bill Brandt Ford where they found a leaking master cylinder and broken booster.
Brakes failed after I had driven and parked the truck. Brakes worked normal. Cranked up and went to drive away and brake warning light illuminates. Applied brakes and pedal goes to the floor. Opened hood, Master cylinder empty. It’s looks like the Brake Master cylinder suddenly failed. Luckily it happened when I was starting off.
On 6-20-2021 the brakes failed on my 2014 Ford F150 3.5 V6 Ecoboost engine almost causing an accident. I found two recall notices but my VIN number was not listed. I took the vehicle to Ford in Livermore, CA and had it repaired. I then contacted Ford and I have a case number. I then went through all my maintenance history and found that there was actually a recall in 2017 with my VIN number. Apparently I did take the vehicle in and it was repaired. The recall was then deleted on my truck because it was repaired. Now in 2021 the same problem happened again. A master cylinder is a pretty simple part and should not fail this often. I will follow up on this with Ford.....
there are two safety recalls on 2014 Ford F150 brake master cylinder failures. My VIN is not on the recall list but I have the exact same problem as they have. My brakes failed and I almost ran into a cross street with traffic. I have the vehicle in the shop now and they say if I am not on their recall list they can not help. My vehicle is the same year, same model, same engine etc. so I am confused. This is definetely a safety concern. Will be interesting how many other vehicles like mine have the same problem.o
The contact owns a 2014 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the brakes failed. When the contact attempted to move the vehicle out of the park position the brake pedal failed to engage, the brake pedal became hard to move. The contact stated that the vehicle had to be moved by reversing the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The dealer performed a diagnostic that located the failure code at the brake booster and the master cylinder. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer advised that the vehicle was not included in the federal safety agency Campaign Number: 20v332000 (service brakes hydraulic). The failure mileage was 83,000.
Brake failure due to broken brake line. The hard metal brake line that runs from the distribution line on the ABS unit to the front drivers side brake came in contact with the steering linkage rubbing a hole in it. I have notified Ford customer care and my local dealer and they do not wish to take care of the issue. This posses a huge safety concern.
Hydraulic brake control unit, mileage of truck is 47438 when diagnosed. Possibly brake failure, ABS failure and downhill control fault. Confirmed by dealer, 5/24/2021. Was confirmed by Johnson City TN Ford technician. Yes, service advanced trac warning, hill descent control fault, then brake fault with all brake warning lights lit (ABS, parking and brake) No access to scanner but have paper copy of invoice
While driving in rush hour traffic! My brake pedal became soft then there was a sudden loss of any braking. I did check for a recall but was told even though there is in fact a recall for the issue my vehicle is not part of it.

Brake pedals when pressed went right to the floor. The vehichile was stationary in my driveway. Had it towed to a ford dealership. They replaced the master cylinder and booster pump. I have a f150 eco 3.5
Brake fluid keeps draining with no visible leaks. Having the same issue as others in its year with fluid draining into the brake booster but has had no recall fix completed.
I recently had my low brake fluid warning come on, didn't think much of it at the time and added some dot4 fluid to my reservoir. Looked things over briefly, the reservoir seemed intact, master cylinder didn't appear wet, no spots on the garage floor, so all was good. After all the truck is 6+ years old, I just figured the time had just come to service the fluid and have the brakes looked at. Two weeks later I hadn't had time to get it to the shop and the warning appeared again. So I checked the reservoir and sure enough it was low again. So this time my investigation was deeper and I found fluid on the bottom of the master cylinder when I wiped my hand under it. The found more below the master cylinder on the shock mount and inner fender well. So I started shopping and checking prices on parts I might need to fix this and happened on this article on today's google, about a recall. So I went to the ntsb web site and checked my VIN #. Nope no recall for my VIN #. Went back to the article and reread it. So it seams that my 2014 with the made in dearborn sticker still in the front window is not part of the recall that describes my problem to the 't' ! I certainly believe it does, as do the pro's I've shown. I'm an a&p faa ndt inspector and deal with these very issues in the airline business daily and think there might be an oversight to the number of trucks included in the recall. I plan to go ahead with my repairs because I need it, but hope you will examine your scope of this more closely. Thanks for the service you provide to keep us safe!
On 11/15/2020 the brake pedal in my 2014 ford f150 with ecoboost went to the floor while waiting at a stop light. The brake pedal could be pumped up, however would bleed off to the floor with constant moderate pressure. With no external leaks, this indicates a failed master cylinder. I see there are two recalls on the 2014 ford f150 with ecoboost that cover all of the 2014 model except for trucks built in june and july 2014. Master cylinder failures and leaks are common in 2014 f150 with ecoboost and this is extremely unsafe. Luckily although I had 3 other passengers and towing a utility trailer no one was injured. Currently my truck is in the small gap between two recalls. This is unsatisfactory and ford motor company should be held to account and provide vehicles with basic safety equipment in proper operating order.
While traveling at highway speed, while towing our rv, "low brake fluid" warning light came on and brakes failed. The only way I could safely stop was using the trailer brakes. I believe our vehicle should have been included in current recall, but ford is stating our VIN is not part of recall.
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 ford f-150. The contact received notification of the federal safety agency campaign number: 20v332000 (service brakes, hydraulic) however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The contact called morristown ford, inc. (1112 w morris blvd, morristown, tn 37813; (423) 586-5520) where it was confirmed that parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.
About 3 or 4 weeks ago the front driver side brake hose burst and I lost all the brake fluid. Now on 10/17/2020 the passenger front side brake hose burst. They both burst in the same area are. This is the hose that connects the main brake line to the caliper. When it was noticed the truck was in parking lot space and getting ready to drive off. Both time it happened in a walmart parking lot. I called the dealership where I purchased the truck and the service department has never seen this before. I even called my regular mechanic and he stated it was very odd for this to happen.
Brake pump and booster has problems been 2 times I replace both
Driving downhill on a city street warning light came on, low brake fluid. Brake pedal very soft and braking was very weak. I was close to a auto parts store. Put in almost a quart of brake fluid.
