Brakes slowly stop holding while at a stop for too long; such as at a red light or waiting for a train, and takes more force from driver to stop vehicle. After inspecting the braking system I found brake fluid leaking between the brake booster and master cylinder. With a little investigating I found Ford already recalled the same part number for other F150 trucks but mine was not in that group from the same model year. The current recall needs to be expanded to cover every truck with that part number. Due to this failure i was involved in a low speed TC in a parking lot when my brakes stopped holding.

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.

INTERMITTENT BRAKING ISSUE. BREAKS DO NOT HAVE MUCH BREAKING POWER. WHILE SETTING AT A RED LIGHT MORE PRESSURE NEEDS TO APPLIED TO THE BREAK PEDAL. IN SOME INSTANCES THE PEDAL TRAVELS AN ADDITIONAL 2 INCHES. LOSS OF BREAK HOLDING POWER CAUSED ME TO HIT A TRAILER BEING TOWED IN FRONT OF ME. MY BUMPER HAD TO BE REPLACED.

DOOR LATCHES REPEATEDLY FREEZE DURING COLD WEATHER DESPITE HAVING BEEN IN FOR REPAIR SEVERAL TIMES SINCE THE TRUCK WAS NEW, INCLUDING A SERVICE CAMPAIGN DESIGNED TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE. THE DOOR LATCHES WILL EITHER FREEZE WHILE THE DOOR IS SHUT, PREVENTING THEM FROM OPENING, OR WILL FREEZE AFTER THE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED, WHICH PREVENTS THEM FROM SECURELY LATCHING WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO CLOSE THEM. THIS PAST SATURDAY THE DOOR OPENED WHILE I WAS MOVING THE TRUCK IN THE DRIVEWAY, RESULTING IN ME FALLING PART-WAY OUT OF THE TRUCK WHILE IT WAS MOVING. THEY AGAIN FROZE THAT EVENING, CREATING A SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO HOLD THE DOOR CLOSED WITH MY LEFT ARM.

WHILE APPLYING THE BRAKES, IT IS VERY EASY TO SIMULTANEOUSLY PUSH ON THE THROTTLE PEDAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, ONE TIME RESULTING IN A REAR-END COLLISION, THIS IS MY FIRST FORD AND THIS PROBLEM HAS NEVER HAPPENED IN ANY OF THE NUMEROUS VEHICLES I HAVE OWNED. I HAD THOUGHT THAT SOFTWARE WAS IN PLACE THAT WOULD NOT ALLOW THE ENGINE TO REV WITH THE BRAKE APPLIED. IF NOT SO, IT WOULD SEEM LIKE A VERY GOOD IDEA.
