What 1,066 owners told NHTSA about the 2017 Ford F-150 Supercab

I WAS ON A HIGHWAY IN RAIN ON CRUISE CONTROL APPROACHING AN OFF RAMP. MY SPEED WAS 72 MPH AS SET BY CRUISE CONTROL. I APPLIED THE BRAKES TO DISENGAGE AND SLOW FOR THE OFF-RAMP WHICH IS SHARP. AS I APPROACHED I STARTED TO APPLY MORE BRAKE PRESSURE. THE VEHICLE BEGAN ACCELERATING AS I WAS GOING INTO THE TURN. I STOMPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR REPEATEDLY WHILE STILL ACCELERATING. I NAVIGATED THE TURN AT HIGH SPEED WITH THE BACK END BREAKING LOOSE AND FISH TAILING. I BARELY MADE IT AROUND AND PROCEEDED TO HIT THE OFF BUTTON FRANTICALLY. THE TRUCK SHUT DOWN AND I COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAD MY 7YR OLD GIRL IN THE TRUCK. IT WAS TERRIFYING. WHEN I RESTARTED THE TRUCK THE CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISENGAGED AND THE BRAKES WORKED

I WAS IN MY DRIVEWAY SITTING STATIONARY IN MY VEHICLE BUCKLING UP TO DEPART FOR THE STORE. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PUSH THE START BUTTON. AFTER STARTING I MOVED THE SHIFT LEVER TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN GEAR AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO ROLL AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BECAUSE MY DRIVEWAY HAS A SLIGHT RAMP TO IT THE VEHICLE KEPT ROLLING FORWARD, I KEPT HITTING THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL KEPT GOING TO THE FLOOR AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP. AS A RESULT I ROLLED INTO A BLOCK FENCE ACROSS FROM MY DRIVEWAY KNOCKING IT DOWN AND DAMAGING MY VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS JUST ROLLING UNDER ITS OWN MOMENTUM, NO POWER TO THE DRIVE TRAIN. NO INJURIES, BUT FENCE WAS DOWN AND VEHICLE HOOD AND OTHER FRONT END AREAS WERE DAMAGED. I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT CAUSED THE BRAKES TO FAIL. FILED AN INSURANCE CLAIM AND HAD TO HAVE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALER FOR BODY REPAIRS AND NEIGHBORS FENCE REPAIRED.
