What 1,686 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Ford F-150 Regular Cab

ON 6/2/18, AFTER A NIGHT'S STAY IN A WALMART PARKING LOT IN OUR 5TH WHEEL, OUR 2016 FORD 150 PICKUP SHOWED A LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT WHEN I STARTED THE TRUCK TO LEAVE. I PUT IN DOT 4 BRAKE FLUID AND THE LIGHT WENT OUT SO WE LEFT. WE HAD TRAVELED ONLY A FEW MILES NORTH ON INTERSTATE 95 IN SOUTH CAROILINA WHEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN I PUSHED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, IT WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WITH NO BRAKING. ALTHOUGH WE WERE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND GOING 55-60 MPH, I PUT ON MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND WAS ABLE TO DOWNSHIFT TO ABOUT 5-10 MPH. THEN WITH BRAKE PEDAL DOWN TO FLOOR, I WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY STOP OUR PICKUP AND TRAILING 5TH WHEEL. WE WERE EXTREMELY FORTUNATE THAT THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS DID REQUIRE EMERGENCY BRAKING. WE WERE ALSO FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE ONLY 10 MILES FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP THAT DETERMIBED THAT THE TRUCK'S MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BOOSTER WERE BAD AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. OUR TRIP WAS DELAYED TWO DAYS DUE TO THIS ISSUE AND COST US OVER $750 DOLLARS IN REPAIRS AND LODGING. THIS HAPPENED ONLY 98 MILES PAST MY WARRANTY PERIOD! WHEN DOING SOME RESEARCH, I SEE THAT FORD RECALLED ITS 2014 AND 2015 F150'S FOR THE VERY SAME PROBLEMS. IT SURE SEEMS LIKE SOME ( IF NOT ALL) 2016S ARE HAVING THE VERY SAME PROBLEM. BUT BY THE GRACE OF GOD, WE COULD HAVE BEEN IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND HURT OR KILLED. I AM VERY NERVOUS NOW DRIVING THIS TRUCK AND MY TRUST IN FORD PRODUCTS HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY DAMAGED. I URGE OTHER 2016 - NEW 150 OWNERS TO BE WATCHING THE BRAKE FLUID LEVELS CLOSELY.

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE THE LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING SPOT. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID, IT WAS WELL BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL. SINCE IT STOPPED OK, I THOUGHT WHEN I LEFT I COULD JUST DRIVE TO A STORE AND BUY BRAKE FLUID. WHEN I GOT IN THE TRUCK 30 MINUTES LATER AND STARTED IT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. PUTTING IN DRIVE I FOUND THAT THERE WERE NO BRAKES AT ALL AND USED THE FOOT EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE TRUCK. I GOT A RIDE TO A CAR PARTS STORE WHERE I BOUGHT 32 OZ. BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID. I POURED MORE THAN HALF THE BOTTLE INTO THE RESERVOIR GETTING IT UP TO THE MAX LINE, STARTED THE VEHICLE, PUMPED THE BRAKES AND GOT BRAKE PRESSURE BACK. I DROVE BACK TO MY CAMPSITE WHICH WAS 1.5 MILES AWAY. HALFWAY THERE THE LOW BRAKE FLUID INDICATOR CAME ON AGAIN. BY THE TIME I ARRIVED AFTER 1.5 MILES, THE BRAKES WERE ALMOST USELESS AND THERE WAS VERY LITTLE PRESSURE UNDER THE PEDAL. I PARKED THE TRUCK AND CHECK THE FLUID, AGAIN IT WAS WELL BELOW MINIMUM AND I COULD HEAR WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A VACUUM LEAK. I FILLED THE RESERVOIR UP TO ALMOST MAX AGAIN, PUMPED THE BRAKES, GOT PRESSURES BACK AND LOOKED FOR ANY LEAKS UNDER THE TRUCK AND FOUND NONE. I PULLED THE TRUCK BACK AND FORTH, ABOUT A 100 FEET, REPEATEDLY TO SEE IF I COULD SEE A LEAK - NOTHING, BUT THE LEVEL IN THE RESERVOIR WAS GOING DOWN. I DROVE THE TRUCK IN AROUND A 1/4 MILE CIRCLE AND BY THE END THE BRAKE PEDDLE HAD LOST MOST OF IT'S PRESSURE, STILL NO LEAKS UNDER THE TRUCK. WHEN IT GOT TOWED THE NEXT DAY THERE WAS NO STOPPING POWER AT ALL. I WAS FORTUNATE THAT THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON A HIGHWAY OR MORE HIGH SPEED ROAD OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I'M SUBMITTING THIS COMPLAINT BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THAT THERE IS AN INVESTIGATION OF BRAKE FAILURE ON SOME YEARS OF THESE TRUCKS.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON FREEWAYS WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENABLED, IF THE VEHICLE APPROACHES A VEHICLE IN AN ADJACENT LANE (TYPICALLY A LARGER VEHICLE LIKE A TRUCK WITH A TRAILER, SEMI, OR TANKER) THE COLLISION AID ACTIVATES AND HEAVILY APPLIES THE BRAKES. IF SOMEONE IS FOLLOWING CLOSE BEHIND ME, AS HAS HAPPENED IN AT LEAST 4 INSTANCES, THE INDIVIDUAL WILL NEED TO STOP AND MAKE AN EMERGENCY MANEUVER TO AVOID COLLIDING. IN BOTH CASES, THE BRAKING ONLY LASTED MOMENTARILY BUT WAS ENOUGH TO REDUCE THE VEHICLES SPEED 20-30 MPH DURING THAT TIME. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN INSPECTED BY FORD BUT THEY HAVE SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO. FOR THE TIME BEING, WE KEEP THIS FEATURE DISABLED UNTIL FORD CAN GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS FOR PREVIOUS YEARS BUT OURS IS NOT INCLUDED. BECAUSE OF THIS FORD HAS SAID THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ON MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED.

THIS MORNING 5/16/2018 AT 7:30 AM CDT, WHILE TAKING MY 6 YEAR OLD SON TO SCHOOL, MY 2016 FORD F-150 PRODUCED A "BRAKE FLUID LOW" WARNING LIGHT. THE BRAKING SYSTEM WAS SEVERELY COMPROMISED AND THE PEDAL HAD TO BE DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I ADDED 54 OZ OF BRAKE FLUID TO GET IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THE WARNING LIGHT CONTINUED TO APPEAR. AS I WAS DRIVING I HAD TO GO INTO MANUAL MODE TO DOWNSHIFT TO SLOW THE CAR DOWN SO I COULD BRAKE VEHICLE TO A STOP. FULL SPEED BRAKING WAS IMPOSSIBLE. WAS ABLE TO GET TO A FORD DEALER - THEY DETERMINED THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS LEAKING AND THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH PRIOR MODEL YEAR RECALLS FOR THIS TRUCK AND ENGINE TYPE (3.5L V6 ECOBOOST). VEHICLE HAS 45K MILES AND OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE, SO OUT OF POCKET COSTS ARE ROUGHLY $1100. SERVICE RECORDS WILL BECOME AVAILABLE TOMORROW WHEN THE WORK IS COMPLETE. I CAN UPLOAD THEM AT THAT TIME.

ON MAY 4TH MY BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED. LUCKILY I DISCOVERED THIS WHEN I GOT INTO MY TRUCK TO START IT UP FROM WORK. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I POPPED THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR EMPTY. I AM LUCKY THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN I DISCOVERED THIS. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY DOCUMENTATION AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED.

I EXPERIENCED 100% BRAKE FAILURE ON MY 2016 FORD F150 3.5L V6. I STARTED MY VEHICLE APPRX 530AM ON 4/30/18 TO DRIVE TO WORK. UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE A "LOW BRAKE FLUID LEVEL" MESSAGE APPEARED. I WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY SURE WHAT TO THINK. I PLACED THE TRUCK IN DRIVE AND AS I ROLLED DOWN MY SLOPED DRIVEWAY AND PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL - THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR WITHOUT ANY STOPPING CAPABILITY. I COASTED TO A STOP WITHOUT INCIDENT. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL AND IT WAS VERY LOW, WELL BELOW THE MINIMUM MARK ON THE RESERVOIR. I HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE FORD DEALER. UPON RESEARCH IT SOUNDS LIKE THIS SAME MODEL TRUCK HAS BEEN REPORTED TO HAVE BRAKE FLUID DRAINING TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. I DO NOT KNOW FOR CERTAIN WHAT MY ISSUE IS. I SHOULD FIND OUT TOMORROW WHEN THE FORD MECHANICS CAN LOOK OVER THE TRUCK.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEED 70 MPH ELECTRIC EMERGENCY BRAKE ENGAGED WITHOUT WARNING CAUSING SUDDEN AND SUSTAINED LOSS OF SPEED. SHORTLY AFTER TRUCK WAS PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD REAR BRAKE AREA WAS NOTED TO HAVE BURNT ODOR EMITTING FROM THE AREA. FURTHER ATTEMPTS TO EVACUATE THE VEHICLE FROM THE ROADWAY WERE UNSUCCESSFUL AS THE VEHICLE REAR WHEELS INTERMITTENTLY LOCKED UP WHILE THE TRUCK WAS IN FORWARD MOTION.

BRAKES HAVE COMPLETELY CEASED WORKING AT RANDOM TIMES. THREE TIMES TOTAL: THE VEHICLE WILL BE IN MOTION (AT VARYING SPEEDS) AND WHEN BRAKE IS APPLIED, THE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WITH LITTLE RESISTANCE. ONE TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO STOP SUDDENLY FOR SLOW TRAFFIC - I WAS FORCED TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. ANOTHER TIME I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH APPROACHING A RED LIGHT AND I HAD TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. THE THIRD TIME I WAS DECELERATING AND TRYING TO BRAKE TO TAKE A HARD RIGHT TURN AND THE BRAKES DIDNT WORK; FORTUNATELY THE I WAS ALREADY AT A REDUCED RATE OF SPEED AND THE HARD TURN IN SLOWED THE VEHICLE ENOUGH THAT I WAS ABLE TO MAKE THE TURN. BUT THE TRUCK TRAVELED THROUGH MY LANE INTO THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY NO CARS WERE WAITING AT THAT INTERSECTION.

WHILE DRIVING ON RURAL MARYLAND ROAD, COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKES WITHOUT WARNING OTHER THAN "LOW BRAKE FLUID" WARNING LESS THAN TWO MINUTES BEFOREHAND. NO ACCIDENT, FORTUNATELY.

DEALER HAS SAID THAT IT WILL REBUILD MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER AND BRAKE BOOSTER, USING MANUFACTURER ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT BUT CANNOT STATE REASON OR CAUSE FOR FAILURE, NOR PROVIDE ANY ASSURANCE THAT FAILURE WILL NOT RECUR.

ON 8-19-17 TRUCK WAS MOVING AT ABOUT 30 MPH ON A STREET, WENT TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN, BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. RELEASED BRAKES, AND TRIED AGAIN, THIS TIME PUMPING THE BRAKE PEDAL. TRUCK STOPPED THIS TIME. CONTINUED ON, BRAKES FELT SPONGY BUT WOULD STOP AND STARTED FEELING NORMAL AGAIN. ON 8-26-17 SAME SCENARIO OCCURRED. DROPPED TRUCK OFF AT FORD DEALERSHIP ON 8-28-17. AS OF 8-31-17 DEALERSHIP HAS NOT DUPLICATED PROBLEM, FOUND ANY FLUID LEAKS AND HAS NOT SOLVED PROBLEM. JUST A SIDE NOTE. MY BROTHER IN-LAW HAS THE SAME EXACT TRUCK AND EXPERIENCED THE SAME SITUATION ABOUT A YEAR AGO. AT THAT TIME THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND HAS SEEMED TO SOLVE HIS PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO GOOGLED THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH OTHER OWNERS. SOME HAVE HAD THE MASTER CYLINDER REPLACED. I SUGGESTED THIS TO THE SERVICE WRITER AT THE DEALERSHIP, SERVICE WRITER HAS DECLINED TO REPLACE MASTER CYLINDER SINCE THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM OR FIND ANY LEAKS.

AS A FORD OWNER WHY WAS I NOT NOTIFIED OF POSSIBLE BRAKE ISSUES WITH MY F150? I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM THE AIRPORT ON SUNDAY MORNING ON THE FREEWAY WHEN A LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT BRAKE FLUID. I TESTED MY BRAKES. THEY WORKED. I CONTINUED CAUTIOUSLY TO MY EXIT. FOR WHATEVER REASON (GRACE OF GOD) I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE GAS WHEN I GOT OFF ON THE OFF THE EXIT. AS I NEARED THE STOP LIGHT AND APPLIED THE BRAKE, I FOUND I DIDNT HAVE ANY!!!! THE E BRAKE BARELY STOPPED ME. HAD I NOT DECELERATED WHEN I DID I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP! I COULD'VE BEEN KILLED!!! WHEN I CALLED FORD THEY NEVER MENTIONED ANY ISSUES!!! I PULL A TRAVEL TRAILER AND HAD A TRIP PLANNED THIS UPCOMING WEEK. HAD THIS HAPPENED THEN THE OUTCOME COULD'VE BEEN HORRIFIC! HOW CAN I TRUST THAT ONCE THE VEHICLE IS FIXED IT IS SAFE? IM AFRAID TO TAKE MY GRAND KIDS IN MY CAR! HOW CAN I TRUST FORD WHEN THEY WEREN'T UP FRONT ABOUT THE SITUATION TO BEGIN WITH. DO WE WAIT FOR FATALITIES BEFORE WE DO SOMETHING? WHAT'S MY RECOURSE? I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A STRONG FORD SUPPORTER (MY MOM RETIRED FROM FORD) BUT AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED BY FORD AND BY ANY AND ALL AGENCIES THAT GOVERN NOTIFICATIONS OF SUCH ISSUES. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE WEB SURFING TO FIND OUT THAT THERE ARE ISSUES. I HAVE A BRAND NEW RIG FOR A REASON AND AM PAYING FOR IT WITH THE EXPECTATION THAT I CAN FEEL SAFE IN MY RIG!

THE TRUCK JUST TURNED 10,000 AND NOW THE BRAKE PEDAL HAS GONE VERY SOFT AND IT REQUIRES PUSHING THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR TO GET THE BRAKES TO ACTIVATE. GENTLE DRIVING, REGULAR SERVICE, NOT A FLUID ISSUE. THIS TRUCK HAS THE 2.7 ECOBOOST ENGINE.

AFTER OWNING THIS VEHICLE FOR 1 MONTH, THE BREAKS FAILED ON ME WHILE I ATTEMPTED TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN BEFORE PULLING OUT ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE BREAK PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND I ROLLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC INSTEAD OF STOPPING. THIS IS MY MAIN FAMILY VEHICLE, IT IS WHAT I DRIVE MY 2, 3-YEAR OLD CHILDREN IN 99% OF THE TIME. I LOOKED FOR A RECALL STATUS AND FOUND MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE ONLINE, BUT NO RECALL BEING ISSUED. I AM TERRIFIED TO USE THE VEHICLE NOW AND I AM NOW STUCK WITH IT FOR A MINIMUM OF THE NEXT 6YRS TILL IT'S PAID OFF. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED WHILE I WAS ON A FAMILY VACATION TOWING A 6000 POUND TRAILER (WHAT THIS VEHICLE IS INTEND FOR IN MY FAMILY) MY FAMILY COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIED! NOW I'M STUCK WITH A $35K VEHICLE, NOT FEELING SAFE TAKING OUR FAMILY VACATIONS AND MY $17K CAMPER JUST SITS HERE UNUSED BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE A SAFE VEHICALE TO USE FOR TOWING.
