TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 FORD F-150. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED TO ENGAGE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP THE VEHICLE, IT PROCEEDED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND CRASHED INTO A VEHICLE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES.

THIS VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECALL FOR THE MASTER CYLINDER IN THE BRAKING SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE ALREADY EXPERIENCED THE LOSS OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM IN JUNE OF 2015 AND HAD THE BRAKING SYSTEM REPLACED . FORD HAS KNOW RECALLED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND WON'T HAVE A FIX FOR MONTHS AND WANTS THE OWNERS TO CONTINUE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLE. THE SYSTEM ON THIS VEHICLE HAS ALREADY FAILED AND I DON'T T THINK THE VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE. FORD WANTS YOU TO CONTINUE DRIVING UNTIL THEY GET A FIX OR A TRAGEDY OCCURS TO MY FAMILY WHICHEVER HAPPENS FIRST. I SPOKE WITH FORD CASE #CAS9744853 AND DON'T FEEL THIS IS RIGHT.

I WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK WHEN THE "SERVICE ADVANCETRAC" LIGHT CAME ON. THE STEERING BECAME SLUGGISH. THE NEXT DAY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THE TRUCK WITH THE CHILDREN INSIDE, WHEN THE POWER STEERING ASSIST COMPLETELY WENT OUT, BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO STEER AND MADE VERY LOUD, ALMOST SCREECHING NOISES WHEN TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL. THIS RESULTED IN MY FAMILY NEARLY CRASHING IN THE TRUCK. THIS WAS WHILE DRIVING ON THE PAVED HIGHWAY/ROADWAY.

ON 5/24/16 AT APPROXIMATELY 5:30PM WHILE DRIVING ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE, A LOW BRAKE FLUID WARNING LIGHT APPEARED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. ABOUT 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD, I LOST BRAKING IN THE TRUCK - THE PEDAL SIMPLY WOULD GO TO THE FLOOR. FORTUNATELY, I WAS IN THE FAR RIGHT HAND LANE AND WAS ABLE TO GET OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND COME TO A STOP. I CALLED AAA AND HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM.

DRIVING TO WORK ON THE LOCAL FREEWAY. LOW BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND I PULLED OFF TO A NEAR BY AUTOZONE .5 MILES AWAY. CHECK BRAKE FUILD WHICH WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY EMPTY. BOUGHT A 32 OZ BOTTLE OF BRAKE FUILD. DRIVE ANOTHER 6 MILES TO WORK AND THE LOW BRAKE FUILD LIGHT CAME ON. POURED THE REST OF THE FUILD TO GET TO ANOTHER AUTOZONE TO BUY ANOTHER 2 BOTTLES OF FUILD TO GET TO A GARAGE NEAR MY HOUSE. USED A TOTAL OF 3 BOTTLES AND NO SIGN OF FUILD LEAKING ANYWHERE ON MY TRUCK. THE FUILD COULD BE LEAKING INTO THE BOOTER. AS OF RIGHT NOW WAITING ON MY TRUCK TO BE LOOKED OVER FOR THE ISSUE OF LOST BRAKE FUILD AT MY LOCAL GARAGE.
