Started vehicle after work, low brake fluid warning indicated. Pressed the pedal and it went straight to the floor. Vehicle has less than 17,000 miles on it and less than 2 years old. No brake pressure is a serious safety risk. Called Ford and they sent a tow truck. I have concerns that it could happen again even after the truck is repaired.

I had a brake failure identical to that of what has already been reported, within the last 6 months. While driving on highway, I went to apply brakes and pedal went all the way to floorboard & I had little to no brake control. Refilled reservoir but it was empty within 30 minutes. All fluid drained out of master cylinder and in to brake booster. Had to have master cylinder replaced, and have not had problem since.

While driving on local streets a warning light came on advising "low brake fluid", in less that one minute I had a total loss of brakes. After coming to a stop I found that there was no brake fluid in the reservoir. I filled the reservoir and drove about three miles to my destination. After letting the vehicle sit for about on hour I checked the brake fluid level again and it was empty but no fluid was on the driveway under the vehicle. I had the vehicle towed to the dealer and I have been informed that the brake master cylinder and the booster tank must be replaced.

I was driving and the brake light came on, then the low brake fluid message came up and finally the break pedal went to the floor. I lost all breaking power. I was able to get to the dealership and they said it was the master cylinder leaking into the break booster. Both had to be replaced.

Brake fluid low level light came on while driving to work. I stopped the truck at work with a plan to get it checked at lunch time. When I restarted the truck the brake pedal instantly went to the floor leaving the truck with no brakes. I got out to check the brake fluid reservoir level and it was completely empty, but there were no leaks anywhere. The truck was towed to Ford dealership

Truck was parked on a hill and when I returned I got message low brake fluid and had no brakes. I added brake fluid and within 2 minutes it all leaked out, but nothing on the ground. Had truck towed and the Ford service department said all the brake fluid had leaked from the master cylinder to the brake booster. Both were replaced by local Ford dealership under warranty. Truck had 10,000 miles at the time. Seems like this is the same issue many others have had. Very dangerous. Hopefully a recall will be done before somebody dies because of it.

Ford F150 supercab 4X4 5.0 automatic. Purchased vehicle new in February 2015. Shortly after purchase, I noticed the truck would begin to creep forward while stopped in traffic with the brake applied. This would require more effort to be applied to the brake pedal until the pedal would eventually go all the way to the floor. I took the truck in to the dealer at around 500 miles to have the brakes checked but was told that this condition was normal for power assist brakes. I have owned many vehicles with power assist brakes and this condition is not normal. The truck now has 11000 miles and the condition persists. Based on complaints from other F150 owners it appears that these trucks are equipped with defective master cylinders which are bypassing. So far I have not encountered a total brake failure but the braking problem with my truck could be a precursor to complete failure. I know that the brake problem has mainly been identified on trucks with the 3.5 engine but Ford has acknowledged that it could affect trucks with other engines such as mine because it has the same braking system. While I had my truck at the dealer I was also told by the service manager that they checked the brakes on a new 2014 F150 on the lot and the brakes did the same thing as mine, therefore it was a"normal" condition. This appears to be a widespread problem and it is only a matter of time before there will be more accidents caused by these faulty master cylinders.

Brake peddle went clear to floor Aug 2015, were told by Ford dealership break fluid ran into the brake booster. Did not cause a crash we were at a stop light on hill and started rolling backwards put on emergency brake before we rolled into the car behind us once light turned green we went up the hill and tried to turn could not stop and pedestrians were in crosswalk so we could not turn had to go straight and pull over. We were in downtown and found out later if we were able to turn it was a very steep down hill so good that we ended going straight it could have been a big issue for us. This issue once fixed then caused the bake lights not work work so we went back to dealership due to a switch that went bad due to the brake peddle going to the floor since we were on vacation in nashville tn when we left and started on road again soon found out that it also caused the bakes would not turn off the cruise control while driving on highway at 70 mph, we would hit brakes and we were still going 70 mph we did not know what was going on so we manually turned off cruise with switch on steering wheel. We had to get fixed once we returned to Ohio. Ford paid for our 3 extra day stay in a motel while we waited for parts to be found by us and our dealership in Ohio since there seemed to be no brake boosters available during this time. Once we found parts had them shipped to mid ten Ford in nashville tn.

The rear brakes of my 2014 F 150 sporadically lock up for a few sec after short or long distance highway drive. The actual lock up occurs when I make a turn into and around a parking lot. Once I have completed the turn the brakes quickly release themselves. I have taken it to my local Ford dealer but can never replicate it, so nothing has been to even look at the braking system. The dealership told me it is probably just the ABS acting up once in awhile.

Lost all braking unexpectedly. Brake pedal went all the way to the floor and I immediately hade no brakes whatsoever. Described exactly as in this article - www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/us-investigates-420000-Ford-F-150S-for-brake-failure-371060011.html I was leaving my office parking garage and was very lucky to have acted quickly to engage the emergency brake. Co-workers helped me push the vehicle back into an empty parking spot where it was later towed to the dealership at dealership's expense. Around 10K miles or less at the time of the incident. Ford dealership said all fluid had leaked from the master cylinder into the booster. I view this as a serious defect and am highly suspect of the safety of this vehicle, as a result. Please advise.

While driving truck and taking offramp to service road, pushed brakes and they were hard, no response. Got truck off the road without a collision, had truck towed to dealership and they replaced a vacuum pump on the brake system. Truck had 21,500 miles. 3 weeks later while driving on the highway again same thing happened. Had truck towed to the dealership where it is at now waiting for a diagnosis on repair. How can this be same for brakes to fail so often without a recall from Ford Motor Company "?"
