2012 Ford F-350 Brakes Problems

“On 12-24-19 I was driving ~55 MPH on a 2 lane road and had an accident occur in front of me in which I had to slam on my brakes to avoid the wreck. My truck slowed but not like it was supposed to and I had to swerve off the shoulder to avoid contact with other vehicles. The brakes master cylinder reservoir had blow off causing my truck to loose brake fluid and the use of my brakes.”

“While driving my vehicle to get on to the freeway, the engine started revving and rattling I could smell something burning. When I tried to press on the brakes it wasn't working than the steering locked. I hit my emergency breaks put on my hazard light and turned off the car until a police officer arrived.

I replaced shocks, tires, and even had the suspension looked at by certified mechanics and nobody has an answer for this problem. …”

“2012 f350 super duty was parked at the top of a driveway that sloped downward on a 33% grade. I put the truck in reverse to back down the driveway and when I attempted to press the brake pedal to regulate the speed on descent of the slope, the brakes froze up and had no power. I had to stand on them to attempt to slow down. This did not have any effect so I slammed the transmission into park, which also had no effect due to the transmission ratcheting safety feature. I had to stop the truck with the emergency brake. By this point I was in the neighbor's front yard. …”
