Hello - My 2014 F150 experiencing this issue, but FORD says my VIN is not on the recall list. Truck pulled brake fluid into the engine from faulty brake booster / master, lost all brakes, lots of smoke, brake fluid reservoir empty. Brake Master Cylinder May Leak into Booster NHTSA Campaign Number: 20V332 A loss of brake fluid may result in a change in brake pedal travel and feel, increased pedal effort and reduced front brake function, possibly requiring greater effort and distance to stop the vehicle. These conditions can increase the risk of a crash.

Vehicle was repaired under recall Ford Safety Recall 16S24, due to failing brake master cylinder which was leading to total brake failure. The subject vehicle (VIN 1FTFW1CT6EFB00788) was taken into a Ford Service center to perform the recall repairs in Mar 2017. Ford replaced the mater cylinder at the time under the recall. Recently (10/13/2022) the vehicle experienced complete brake failure while driving with all the same symptoms described in the original Ford Safety Recall 16S24. Audible chime with full screen screen message on the dash cluster warning of brake issues. The vehicle coasted to a stop after taking appropriate actions (downshift and e-brake) to come to a stop without crashing or injuries. The vehicle was towed to a Ford Service center for diagnoses. Ford diagnoses was rear seal failure of the master cylinder which allowed all the brake fluid from the reservoir to leak into the brake booster, leading to brake failure. This is the exact scenario described in Ford Safety Recall 16S24. Neither the Ford Service Center or Ford Corporate Customer service (Ford Case # CAS 39130043) will acknowledge repairs as they indicated that the recall is no longer applicable to my vehicle. I don't know if Ford used the same suspect master cylinder P/N to execute the repair, however it seems the issue described in the original recall is still an issue even after recall repairs are performed. At this point, Ford is charging me for the repairs to fix the issue, however the greater concern is that people driving the vehicle in the recall after getting this recall completed might be at risk of crash and injury. Also learning online that I am not unique with the issue described above. Please let me know if there is any additional information such as the latest Ford diagnoses report or documentation is needed to help further escalate this complaint.

The driver side exhaust manifold it warped can hear chirping noise and leaking exhaust fumes into cab on start up

While driving a freeway speed (80 MPH) my vehicle suddenly down shifted without cause. The vehicle had shifted from 6th gear down to 3rd gear while driving at 80 MPH nearly causing an accident. This similar random downshifting occurred several more times before I was able to take my vehicle to my local Ford dealership. The Ford technician diagnosed the issue from the computer logs as a code P0722, Output Speed shaft Sensor fault. The part which failed is on national back order due to the part being on a safety recall for some vehicles. My vehicle is not part of the current safety recall. The Ford dealer will not allow me to drive my vehicle until they have the part to repair it. They said it is not safe to drive with the failing sensor.

advanced warning track light comes on and turn sigal blinkers dont work and advanced trac dosnt work

Catastrophic brake failure. Recal 16S24 was completed on this truck, but the "repair" failed. Either the same defective parts were put back in or new but still defectively-designed parts were installed. Current symptoms are identical to the text in the recall. Pedal goes to the floor, large quantities of brake fluid are pumped out of the master cylinder reservoir, little to no observable leaking of brake fluid is observed, so per the recall fluid is being pumped into the vacuum booster. Ford refuses to address the problem. Their official policy is no recall will be repaired more than once even if the supposed "repair" also catastrophically fails. Their goal appears to be to make the "repair" last just barely longer than 1 year so they can deny coverage thereafter and make the customer deal with the repeated failure. Failure was instantaneous in that the truck was just sitting in the driveway. Brakes were fine the night before, but the next day when I went to drive it the pedal went to the floor and the brake fluid reservoir was essentiall empty. Had I been driving or towing a trailer this could easily have resulted in multiple fatalities. Ford was adamant that subsequent failures are not their responsibility.

The problem is, while driving at normal highway speed the transmission periodically down shifts causing severe loss of speed, with rear wheels skidding with absolutely no prior warning. Truck has been diagnosed at a Ford dealer, the tech stated it was the molded frame lead in the transmission. Thank You.
