What 1,686 owners told NHTSA about the 2016 Ford F-150 Supercab Diesel

SUDDEN AND COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING ABILITY. DRIVING 50MPH. TRUCK ALERTED TO "LOW BRAKE FLUID." ABOUT 45 SECONDS LATER, I HAD NO ABILITY TO BRAKE OTHER THAN THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.

I TOOK MY TRUCK TO GREENWOOD FORD IN BOWLING GREEN KY FOR A HILLSIDE ASSIST ERROR. WHILE IT WAS THERE, I WAS TOLD THE POWER STEERING FAILED & NEED A NEW ELECTRIC POWER STEERING RACK. THERE WAS NO WARNING THAT THE POWER STEERING WAS GOING TO FAIL. COST WAS 1650.00 THE TRUCK HAD 38500 MILES

THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT AND WILL START TO BOG THE VEHICLE DOWN WHEN GOING UP A GRADE, STOP AND GO TRAFFIC OR PULLING A LIGHT LOAD. STEADILY INCREASING THE ACCELERATOR DOES NOT HELP THE TRUCK MAINTAIN OR INCREASE SPEED, ONLY TOTALLY FLOOR-BOARDING THE ACCELERATOR ALLOWS THE TRUCK TO SPEED UP. THE FORD DEALER HAS CHECKED THE VEHICLE AT LEAST 3 TIMES AND SAID THE COMPUTER COULD NOT FIND ANY THING WRONG. THE PROBLEM STARTED WITH LESS THAN 6,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND IS NOT AN ISSUE UNLESS IN THE PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED SITUATIONS. THE PROBLEM HAS NOT HAPPENED WHEN TEST DRIVING AT THE DEALERSHIP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL RATTLING NOISE EMERGING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE LEAF SPRINGS WERE DETACHED AND CAUSED THE NOISE. AN UNKNOWN LOCAL DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A RECALL OR WARRANTY. THE CONTACT WAS REFERRED TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 42,000.

I HAVE A 2016 F150 WITH ISSUES SIMILAR TO NHTSA COMPLAINT ID# 10127407. THE PROBLEMS ARE NOT INTERMITTENT, THE PART HAS FAILED & IS NOT AVAILABLE FROM FORD AT THIS TIME. THE AIR CONDITIONING QUITS COMPLETELY & YOU CANNOT RUN THE FAN AT ALL. YOU CANNOT ROLL DOWN ANY WINDOWS IN THE VEHICLE & THE VEHICLE GETS WELL OVER 90 DEGREES INSIDE WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THIS DOESN'T WORK IT ALSO DISABLES THE AIRBAGS OF THE VEHICLE, CROSS TRAFFIC ALERT AS WELL AS TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAILURE ALONG WITH OTHER SAFETY FEATURES. THE SEATS NO LONGER RETRACT OR MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED/SHUTOFF. THE KEY FOB INTERMITTENTLY WILL NOT LOCK THE DOORS OF THE VEHICLE & THE ALERT ON THE TRUCK SAYS KEY NOT FOUND. WITH THE WARM TEMPERATURES AND NO WAY TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS OR TURN ON THE AC OR A BLOWER FAN MAKES THIS VEHICLE EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO OPERATE.

I WAS DRIVING AND ABOUT HALF WAY TO WORK I RECEIVED A LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING AND THEN TRIED TO BRAKE AND INSTANTLY HAD NO BRAKING POWER. HOW TO SLOW DOWN AND ATTEMPT TO PUMP THE BRAKES TO COME TO A STOP. LUCKY I WAS ON A FAIRLY OPEN STRETCH OF HIGHWAY WITHOUT MUCH TRAFFIC OR STOPS.

NHTSA ODI 11102481

THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED ELECTRONICALLY ON SEVERAL INSTANCES. GENERALLY THE CENTER CONTROL PANEL WILL NOT COME ON WHICH MEANS THE RADIO DOES NOT WORK. OTHER TIMES THE FAN BLOWER WILL ALSO NOT COME. IN THE WORST INSTANCE, NONE OF THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON NOR THE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO BE ABLE TO KNOW HOW FAST I AM DRIVING, TEMPERATURE, ALERTS, OR ANYTHING THAT NEEDS POWER OTHER THAN TO START/DRIVE THE TRUCK. I ALSO NOTED WHEN I SHIFTED GEARS ON THE TRANSMISSION, IT DID NOT INDICATE WHAT GEAR/DRIVING MODE THE VEHICLE WAS ACTUALLY IN. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON NO LESS THAN A HALF DOWN INSTANCES. THE DEALER HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AS IT IS INTERMITTENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW OFF THE LOT. IT HAS NOT OCCURRED AFTER EVERYTHING IS ALREADY OPERATIONAL WHILE DRIVING, ONLY AT STARTUP/IGNITION POINT. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO RESET IT MULTIPLE TIMES BY TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF/ON AND REMOVING THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION BUT IT DOES NOT SEEM TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM AS IT RANDOMLY COMES ABOUT AND THEN RANDOMLY GOES AWAY. IT DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE AFFECTED BY BUMPS (LOOSE WIRE) OR EVEN TAPPING THE DASH TO SEE IF ANYTHING CHANGES. I HAVE ALSO PULLED THE MAIN FUSES THAT CONTROL THESE AREAS AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS WITH THE FUSES. RESETTING THE ENTIRE SYSTEM DID NOT ALSO HAVE AN AFFECT BY DISCONNECTING THE BATTERY BUT DID WORK IN ONE INSTANCE HOWEVER IT DID NOT IN OTHERS.

WHILE TRAVELING ON INTERSTATE AT A SPEED OF 80 MPH, MY 2016 F-150 ECO BOOST WITH 50,000 MILES WENT INTO LIMP MODE DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY CAUSING ME TO LOSE THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE AND WORRYING FOR MY FAMILY'S LIFE AS I WAS DECELERATING ON A BUSY 4 LANE FREEWAY TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO PULL OVER WITHOUT BEING SMASHED.

NHTSA ODI 11101604

BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR ALL OF A SUDDEN. I GOT A BRAKE FLUID LOW WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD. TRUCK IS REGULARLY SERVICED BUT AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THERE WERE A LOT OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING WHAT I HAVE GOING ON. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING MY KIDS IN MY TRUCK RENDERING IT USELESS. TRUCK WAS STATIONARY AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT.

NHTSA ODI 11101631

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.

2 DAYS AFTER MY VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED UNDER SAFETY RECALL 17S33 FOR THE DOOR LATCHES FREEZING, THEY AGAIN FROZE AND THE DOOR WOULD NOT OPEN. UPON FINALLY GETTING IT TO OPEN FROM THE INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, THE DOOR WOULD THEN NOT CLOSE. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO THE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE LINE THAT THERE IS NO REPAIR FOR THIS CONDITION AND THAT I HAVE TO CONTINUE DEALING WITH THE ISSUE UNTIL THEY FIND A FIX. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE!

NHTSA ODI 11101276

DOOR LOCKS FREEZE AND WON'T CATCH. USUALLY FOLLOWS A PERIOD OF SNOW, RAIN OR A CAR WASH AND THEN FREEZING TEMPERATURES. ALL FOUR DOORS ON MY F150 HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS AND ONE TIME THE DOOR CAME UNLATCHED WHILE I WAS DRIVING.

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.

AT 15000 MILES THE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL BEARINGS BEGAN TO FAIL AND CONTAMINATED THE ENTIRE FRONT DIFFERENTIAL. THE DIFFERENTIAL HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REPLACED. THIS COULD HAVE FAILED ON THE ROAD LEAVING ME STRANDED. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING ON NORMAL CITY STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY.

NHTSA ODI 11098677

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.

NHTSA ODI 11097860

THE VEHICLE HESITATES, IDLES ROUGHLY WHEN COLD AND MAKES A KNOCKING TYPE NOISE AT IDLE WHEN HOT. THE COOLANT LEVEL HAS GONE DOWN SUBSTANTIALLY DESPITE HAVING IT SERVICED RECENTLY. WE HAVE EXPERIENCED LARGE AMOUNTS OF WATER DRIPPING FROM THE TAIL PIPE ALONG WITH THE OCCASIONAL PUFF OF THICK SMOKE. THE VEHICLE MISFIRES AND IT HAS BEEN VERIFIED BY A SCAN TOOL (MY OWN AND FORDS). FORD'S TECHNICIANS HAVE VERIFIED THE CONCERN BUT HAVE TOLD US THAT WITHOUT A HARD FAULT, THEY ARE NOT ABLE TO LOOK INTO THE PROBLEM FURTHER. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION SEVERAL TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION. WHILE IT MAY BE RELATED OR UNRELATED, THE TRANSMISSION ALSO JERKS WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND HAS A TENDENCY TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN GOING FROM 3-2-1 GEARS. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN VERIFIED BY FORD AND THEY HAVE MADE TWO ATTEMPTS USING TSB 16-0015 TO RESOLVE WITHOUT ANY IMPROVEMENT.

NHTSA ODI 11097863

THE VEHICLE HOPS VERY BADLY OVER ROUGH SURFACES AND THE TAIL END SWINGS OUT. FORD SAYS THIS IS NORMAL BUT THE VEHICLE ALMOST LOSES CONTROL OVER SURFACES THAT ARE HANDLED BY OTHER VEHICLES INCLUDING OTHER F-150S. FORD CLAIMS THIS IS A NORMAL CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE. CURRENTLY THE VEHICLE'S REAR SITS HIGHER ON ONE SIDE THAN THE OTHER BY ABOUT 1.1 INCHES. THIS HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO FORD'S ATTENTION AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT IT'S NORMAL AND DUE TO THE GAS TANK BEING FULL DESPITE IT RESIDING ON THE SIDE THAT SITS HIGHER. NEITHER OF THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN RESOLVED BUT FEEL THAT THEY ARE RELATED.

NHTSA ODI 11097864

TRUCK IS IDLING DOWN TO ABOUT 250 RPM AND PERIODICALLY STALLING OUT AFTER DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. ALSO STALLS IN REVERSE. FORD CANNOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. STARTED WITH 22604 MILES. NOW HAS 26346 MILES AND AM STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE FORD DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT 3 TIMES. STILL HAS NOT BEEN 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.

REAR WINDOW SHATTERED WHILE SITTING IN OUR DRIVEWAY, STATIONARY WITH NO ONE IN IT.

STARTED TO HEAR A CLICKING/TAPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE WHILE AT IDLE. HAVE LEARNED THAT IT IS THE ETB (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY). I PHYSICALLY SAW THE ETB MAKING THE NOISE I AM CONCERNED ABOUT. TOOK TO FORD FOR DIAGNOSIS AND BECAUSE THE TRUCK IS NOT GIVING AN ERROR CODE, THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO. FOUND THAT THERE ARE SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS AGAINST FORD AND THEIR ETB. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I AM TRYING TO PREVENT.

NHTSA ODI 11093190

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2016 FORD F-150. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL BECAME LOOSE. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ADJUST THE STEERING WHEEL, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO WORSEN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (COOK FORD, 2600 PALMER HWY, TEXAS CITY, TX 77590) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT A BOLT BEHIND THE STEERING WHEEL NEEDED TO BE TIGHTENED. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY AND HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

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.
