What 1,362 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Ford F-150 Supercab Diesel

ON THE MORNING OF JULY 18, 2016 I EXPERIENCED COMPETE AND TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2014 FORD F150 TRUCK. I HAD DRIVEN THE TRUCK THE NIGHT BEFORE WITH NO PROBLEMS OR WARNINGS OF ANY KIND. I GOT INTO MY TRUCK, CRANKED IT, AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD WITH ABSOLUTELY NO RESISTANCE. I TRIED PRESSING IT AGAIN WITH THE SAME RESULTS. JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE THIS, I HAD RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER CONCERNING BREAKING ISSUES FROM FORD. HOWEVER, IN THIS LETTER IT SAID THAT THE ISSUE WOULD ONLY AFFECT THE FRONT BRAKES; THE REAR BRAKES WOULD STILL BE USABLE. I CAN ASSURE YOU, THIS IS NOT THE CASE. I CONSIDER MYSELF EXTREMELY BLESSED THAT I WAS NOT TRAVELING AT THE TIME OF THE OCCURRENCE. THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT HAD I BEEN DRIVING AT THE TIME OF THE FAILURE, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A FATAL INCIDENT.

I NOTICED THE TRUCK SEEMED TO LUNGE FORWARD EVEN THOUGH MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE.AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, FORD SENT ME A RECALL ON THE BRAKES.(NOT FOR THAT PROBLEM THOUGH). I CONTACTED THE FORD DEALER. THEY INDICATED NO PARTS WERE AVAILABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM UNTIL AT LEAST THE 4TH QUARTER BUT TO BRING IT IN IF THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON IN THE PANEL. I AM TRYING TO TRADE THE TRUCK IN OR RETURN IT TO FORD BECAUSE IT IS A LEASE AND THE FORD DEALER DOESN'T WANT IT BECAUSE THEY INDICATED THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE RECALL AT THIS POINT. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED ME $6000 DOLLARS LESS THAN THE VALUE OF THE TRUCK BECAUSE IT HAS A RECALL ON IT. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD BE PENALIZED TO RECEIVE A REDUCED AMOUNT FOR THE TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE FORD RECALL. I HAVE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH FORD ALSO. ANY HELP OR ASSISTANCE THAT CAN BE PROVIDED WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

I HAVE A 2014 F-150 3.5L ECOBOOST TRUCK.... IT HAS APPROXIMATELY 72,000 MILES THAT ARE MAINLY LONG HAUL AND NOT SHORT AROUND TOWN STOP/START MILES. MY UNDERSTANDING IS THIS DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR REPAIR UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE RECENTLY EXPERIENCED A TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IF I TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART THEN IT WILL GO BACK TO FULL POWER FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN CUT OUT AGAIN. THIS IS NO FUN MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IN THE CITY... VERY DANGEROUS IN FACT. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILST DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, DRIVING AROUND THE CITY AND SOMETIMES GOING UP A HILL. I AM NOT A VEHICLE EXPERT AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS THE CAUSE. I VISITED FORD AND EVEN THEY WERE NOT SURE. I WILL VISIT ANOTHER DEALER TO SEE IF I CAN GET BETTER INFORMATION. MY CONCERN IS ABOUT DRIVING ACROSS TOWN IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND HAVING THE VEHICLE CUT OUT ON ME AGAIN.

I WAS DRIVING ON A 25MPH STREET AND WAS COMING TO A STOP SIGN, I BEGAN TO DEPRESS THE BRAKE AND HEARD A SMALL EXPLOSION/BOOM UNDER THE HOOD. I CONTINUED DRIVING AS THERE WAS NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM. THE NEXT STOP SIGN I HAD VERY LIMITED BRAKING ABILITY, THE THIRD STOP SIGN I HAD NO ABILITY TO STOP AND WAS FORCED TO USE MY PARKING BRAKE. WITHIN HALF A MILE I WAS UNABLE TO STOP AT ALL AND HAD TO USE MY EMERGENCY BRAKE. THERE WERE NO INDICATOR LIGHTS OR WARNINGS ON THE DASH UNTIL AFTER THE TOTAL LOSS OF BRAKING, THE ONLY WARNING I HAD THERE WAS AN ISSUE WAS THE LOUD NOISE. THERE IS A RECALL ON THE 2014 F150 BRAKES FOR DECREASED STOPPING ABILITY, BUT NOT FOR A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. THE RECALL NOTICE STATES TO NOT BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE UNTIL THERE IS AN INDICATOR LIGHT OR MESSAGE ON THE DASH - AGAIN, I HAD NEITHER OF THESE WARNINGS. ONCE THE VEHICLE GOT TO THE LOCAL DEALER, I WAS TOLD THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER BOTH FAILED. FORD DOES NOT HAVE A SOLUTION AND HAS INDICATED IT WILL BE SEVERAL WEEKS IF NOT MORE FOR THEM TO REPLACE THE PARTS. I BELIEVE THE RECALL NEEDS TO BE EXPANDED AND TREATED AS MORE URGENT AS THIS TYPE OF FAILURE COULD LEAD TO FATAL ACCIDENTS - FORTUNATELY I WAS ON A SIDE STREET AND NOT IN TRAFFIC WHEN THIS OCCURRED, OTHERWISE THIS FAILURE WOULD HAVE LED TO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORD HAS MADE THE DEALER TAKE APART THE FRONT END OF MY TRUCK AND TAKE PICTURES OF THE AREA AROUND THE DEFECTIVE PARTS - I FEEL THEY ARE USING THIS AS A CASE STUDY AND ARE NOT TAKING OWNERSHIP OF THEIR FAILED PARTS THAT COULD CAUSE A FATAL ACCIDENT.
