The failure mileage was unknown.

I remote started my truck and let it run to warm up. I got in and pushed the brake pedal and it went to the floor. I turned the ignition on and the information center said, "Brake fluid low". I turned the truck off, got out and looked under the truck for signs of brake fluid (there was none), opened the hood and my reservoir was empty. I took the master cylinder off and the brake booster was full of brake fluid. I had to replace both, the master cylinder and brake booster.

The master cylinder failed and caused brake fluid to be sucked into the vacuum brake booster. The result is total hydraulic failure of the brakes and a safety hazard. This is a known failure for the 2014 F150's with the 3.5L Ecoboost for which there was a recall. My truck with the 5.0L motor uses the same part.

While driving at high speed the vehicle downshifted to first gear. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to his son, who is an independent mechanic, who informed him about a recall on the transmission. The mechanic used the scan tool, which displayed the wrench symbol. The contact called the local dealer and was informed that the vehicle was from Canada and was not covered under a recall. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.

While traveling at approx 55mph the transmission suddenly down shifted into a lower gear, tires skidded briefly, and speedometer bounced down to 0mph. Seemed to resolve itself until the following day when the vehicle will not shift out of 1st gear at all and speedometer will not move. After some research, it appears to have the same symptoms as recall 19S07 but my VIN is not included. Would like to get the reprogramming done so the sudden downshift will not happen.

I'm currently experiencing problems with what I believe to be the Electronic Power Steering. As I'm driving it feels as though the power Steering goes in and out as it becomes difficult to turn the Steering wheel. It's currently an intermittent issue. I see Ford had recalls for this on other manufacturers dates and would like to know if my vehicle would be added to the same safety recall?

The transmission slips in first gear when driving under 10 mph, and also slips from 3rd to 4th gears when driving at highway speeds. This is similar to what has happened on the 2011-2013 F150's that were recalled. 2014's should have been included as well. Driving at highway speeds, the transmission downshifted and I was no longer able to accelerate and dangerously but cautiously moved to the slow lane and off the highway. During this time the wrench warning light did come on. I have paid Ford thousands of dollars to fix the issue, but doesn't seem like it got fixed as it's still doing the same thing. I have reported this to multiple ford dealerships since I bought the vehicle in 2015 and not one has been able to fix the issue. this is what they fixed below and still did not fix the issue.
