2025 Ford F-150: ABS light or ABS activating

Filed May 1, 2026 · Brakes, Electrical · TX

I am submitting a formal complaint regarding a safety-related issue with my 2025 Ford F-150, 5.0, that began immediately following recent recall service on the brake booster system. Since the recall work was completed, the ABS system has been producing a loud electrical rattling or grinding noise during vehicle takeoff. This noise is consistent and occurs at low speeds when accelerating from a stop. Prior to the recall service, this issue was not present. Given that this problem appears to be directly related to the anti-lock braking system, I am concerned about the safety and reliability of my vehicle. The ABS system is critical for maintaining control and braking performance, and any malfunction or abnormal behavior raises serious concerns about potential failure or degraded performance. Please treat this matter with urgency, as it involves a critical safety system. I expect prompt resolution and clear communication regarding the findings and corrective actions.

While driving slowly in a traffic queue, the driver applied the brakes to stop behind the vehicle ahead. The ABS activated unexpectedly, causing the truck to lurch/jump forward instead of stopping smoothly. The driver was forced to steer left to avoid a collision, but the vehicle ultimately struck the car in front, damaging the left front of the truck. No injuries occurred. This is not the first time this behavior has been observed in this vehicle, and the vehicle had previously been inspected by an authorized Ford dealership for similar braking behavior without resolution. The incident occurred at low speed in stop-and-go traffic conditions. The vehicle is currently at a Ford dealership for repair related to this incident.

The contact owns a 2025 Ford F-150. The contact stated that while driving on the interstate and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle lost braking functionality. The brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard. The ABS warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined there was a computer fault. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred approximately 6,100 miles later. While driving 65 MPH, the brakes became inoperable. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Lebanon Ford Parts & Accessories, Lebanon Ford Service Center (770 Columbus Ave, Lebanon, OH 45036); but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 4,000.

Parking break fault warning light service now light comes on intermittently when the parking break was set. The ford dealer I bought the truck from found a leaking rear left break line and replaced the left rear parking break motor assembly. The Warning light kept coming on intermittently when setting the parking break after this repair. I took it to my local ford dealer who said nothing was wrong. I’m now on a trip and the warning light continues to intermittently come on. Took it to another ford dealer who reconnected a wire and said if that didn’t work it needed a new ABS module. I continued on my trip and the warning light kept coming on. Stopped at another ford dealer who cleaned up some connectors. The warning light kept coming on and I took it back. Now they think it needs a new ABS module and said it is back ordered for 2 months and I’m a 1000+ miles from home.

complete loss of brakes. there was zero response from the brake pedal for several complete pumps to the floor. after about 4 complete "stomps", the brakes locked, resulting in a violent and sudden stop. at the time, the dash began flashing multiple warning messages about display failure and also ABS failure and making many alarm sounds, further distracting me from dealing with a very dangerous situation. Had this occurred at speed and not at a fast idle speed, serious injury or death would likely have occurred. this is a Xcelerate fleet vehicle, and fleet services took the vehicle to a non-dealership shop, which claims to have fixed the problem but could not complete the recall repairs. fleet has only just today agreed to tow the vehicle to a Ford dealership for recall repair. This incident occurred on 9/26/2025.
