“Pedal went hard and down to the floor. Came close to rear ending car in front of me. From what I've heard this is a common issue and Ford doesn't have a recall, although they do with newer years of the same model. Very dangerous and these cars should have a recall.. It's absurd that a brake booster should fail and not have a recall with a known deadly issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11365675, filed 2020-10, 115,500 miles“While driving in downtown detroit I was approaching a red light as I applied pressure to the brake pedal it was rock hard. Also, when applying the brake there is hissing sound. It was explained to me that the problem is the brake booster. Which the dealership will not cover. The estimate given by the dealership for the cost of the repair is $550.”
NHTSA complaint #10995348, filed 2017-06, 158,000 miles“Brakes are making a sound like its blowing air. The brake gets really hard to press the brake peddle while stopping, then gets really soft and I can push it all the way down. I have only owned my car for a couple of weeks and I have almost been in 2 accidents because of the brakes. Usually this happens while slowing down at traffic lights.”
NHTSA complaint #10914296, filed 2016-10, 60,000 miles“I have search the internet and there is a large reports of a power booster failure in certain years of this Ford model. I searched my VIN # and it was not included in the recall even though I read from others that had the same issue that I'm having now. The brake peddle at times is tough to press, like no play in it while I am trying to stop it is difficult. I have to pump the peddle to get it to work. This is very dangerous and I have read many others having the same experience.”
NHTSA complaint #11104960, filed 2018-07, 102,000 miles“Break boosters are not working, can not stop. Called Ford said my car isn't covered just the Ford f150. I have to slam down on my breaks to slow the car down then it eventually comes to a stop. It is not safe to drive.”
