The parking brake has repeatedly engaged without action from the owner/operator. This seems to happen at random. The dash warning light does show upon occurrence. There is no known cause for, or understanding of, this malfunction. The Ford certified dealer could not confirm as it did not occur under their supervision when serviced. Fortunately, occurrences thus far have been while the vehicle is not in motion. However, this is extremely dangerous and could cause severe injury or death. Imagine the horrific accident if the parking brake were to engage while traveling with a family of four, going 65mph down the highway. Innocent lives would be lost. Children's lives. It's heartbreaking and traumatizing to think about. This is a massive safety risk and obviously very concerning. Furthermore, the rear brake pads and rotors have already been replaced (at 4k miles) due to overheating, warping, and uneven wear. At 4k miles!? Are these issues related? Possibly. Will they be repetitive? Possibly. Nevertheless, it's too significant of a risk. It's one that no one would want to take. Something needs to be done. Thank you. Ford offers a buyback program, but has denied the request. Ford has provided ineffective and unacceptable responses to a filed Better Business Bureau complaint. Ford has not accepted responsibility for the issue. The severity is not being taken seriously.
2024 Ford F-150 brakes complaints

After having the vehicle serviced by authorized dealer the brake system and electrical system displayed the same issues as it had previously. The safety braking system sent warnings and failures 3 times and I returned it to the dealership for further repairs. While driving the ABS senses a failure, along with hill assist, and the front end collision system. All of these systems sent failure warnings and made braking very difficult.
Anti lock Brake Fault and disabled Hill Start assist failure Collision waring system failure All of these occurred while driving. Luckily I was able to move the vehicle of the road and was able to avoid any accidents.
Twice when opening the drivers door, my 2024 Ford F-150 Raptor V6 has chimed and then displayed “Brake System Failure”. Starting the truck, shutting off the motor and locking/unlocking the drivers door appears to clear the message. The local Ford dealership updated the software and believed it corrected the issue. Today, I drove approximately 30 miles, shut off the engine, locked the door and had lunch. When entering the truck again, I got an alert chime and the dashboard had an error reading “Parking Brake Failure”.
