2017 FORD F-150- MI, MI
In November of 2025. I took my truck, 2017 f-150 3.5 Liter engine, to Crest Ford in Flat Rock Mi. There was a recall on the master cylinder (25S37). On 5-26-2026 we were following a friend to take his car to Dean Arbour Ford in east Tawas for service. While trying to slow down for a turn my brake pedal went VERY SOFT almost to the floor. I was able to slow my truck down enough to make the turn. I then proceeded very carefully to the dealer. It was all country roads with no traffic. By the time I got to the dealer my brake pedal went all the to the floor. I almost had to use the emergency brake to stop. If this would of happened on the expressway we could of been killed or killed someone else. There was no way I could of stopped in an emergency. Upon investigation the new Master Brake Cylinder that was put on in November of 2025 failed. I was told they don't know how long it will be to get a new part because Ford requested all the new Master Cylinders to be returned. So it sounds to me that there could be alot more vehicles with bad Master Cylinders that customer had replaced and do not know they are bad. I was having no issues with my brakes on the old Master Cylinder. I am also being told that it's a warranty issue because the recall on it was closed when the Master Cylinder was replaced in November of 2025.

I have changed this transmission twice, and the truck still turns off when it comes to a complete stop at an intersection. It hesitates, skips, and pulls back when driving.

2017 FORD F-150- Warrensburg , MO
A week ago, the top interior strip that holds the sliding glass window in place randomly fell off. We taped the hole until we could find someone who could fix the track. Then, a week later the non-sliding portion of the back rear window exploded while parked. There was no sort of impact, the window just shattered sending pieces of glass into my kids car seats.

2017 FORD F-150- Naperville, IL
While driving the car immediately downshifted and I could not accelerate. The Hill assist came on and service advance trac came on. This happened 3 times. The first time we towed it to the dealership April 17th, and they changed the oil and tested the battery secured wires and verified after the repair on April 26th. After we picked the truck up on April 26th it stalled on the highway on the home and we had it towed again. They kept it for 4 days drove it 80 miles and said nothing was wrong no repair was done or needed. On May 13 it stalled again in front of train tracks. Luckly I was able to stop and start it quickly to drive it to a near dealership. We picked up the truck today, and it stalled again on the way home. We drove it back to the dealership today, May 23rd, hopefully they can figure it out. We are again without a car for a long period of time. We have paid $1,964.10 in repairs that have not fixed the problem. The way the truck stops so suddenly is very dangerous as it happened once getting on the highway and once in front of a train track.
