2014 FORD F-150 Complaints

WHILE DRIVING, I HAD A "LOW BRAKE FLUID" LIGHT COME ON. WHEN I APPROACHED THE NEXT INTERSECTION THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALMOST ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I THEN PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE BRAKES FAILED COMPLETELY HAVING USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP. I OPENED THE HOOD AND INSPECTED THE MASTER CYLINDER AND FOUND THAT THERE WAS NO BRAKE FLUID. I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHEN I REMOVED THE CAP ON THE MASTER CYLINDER THE THERE WAS SUCTION IN THE RESERVOIR. MY CONCLUSION IS THAT THE MASTER CYLINDER HAS FAILED AND THE BRAKE FLUID IS BEING SUCKED INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. I CALLED THE FORD DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE.

THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. THERE IS A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL AND IMPAIRED STEERING. THE TRUCK IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AND A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD. WE WERE TOLD BY OUR MECHANIC AFTER HE DIAGNOSED IT THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS PART OF A RECALL. SAFETY RECALL NOTICE 14S09/NHTSA RECALL 14V316. WE WERE THEN TOLD BY THE FORD DEALERSHIP THAT OUR TRUCKS VIN NUMBER IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. THAT MAKES NO SENSE THAT WE WERE TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE EXACT PROBLEMS WE ARE HAVING IS THE EXACT SAME THING THIS RECALL IS FIR BUT OUR TRUCK DOESN'T FALL UNDER IT. PLEASE EXPLAIN.

LOW BRAKE FLUID LIGHT CAME ON AS I WAS COMING OFF THE FREEWAY ON THE OFF RAMP. PRESSED BRAKES AND HAD NO BRAKES. I HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO AVOID SMASHING INTO VEHICLES AT THE STOP LIGHT. AFTER GETTING VEHICLE STOPPED INTO A PARKING LOT. I LOOKED UP MY VEHICLE FOR RECALLS. HAD A RECALL FOR BRAKE MASTER CYLINDER BLOWING FLUID INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. TOOK THE CAR TO MY LOCAL FORD DEALER, AND DUE TO THE MILES, THEY GAVE ME THE IMPRESSION MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE NHTSA RECALL AND THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO GET AUTHORIZATION TO FIX THE VEHICLE, OTHERWISE I'D HAVE TO PAY FOR IT. (NEVER KNEW RECALLS WERE SUBJECT TO MILEAGE)

AFTER HITTING BUMPS IN THE HIGHWAY THE TRUCK STARTS TO WOBBLE UNCONTROLLABLY AND THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT BACK IS TO SLOW DOWN TO 30MPH AND THEN THE WOBBLE WILL STOP. WE HAVE REPLACED THE TRACK BAR, STABILIZER, BRAKES AND ROSTERS, NEW TIRES, AND BALANCES.

DRIVING ON I-10 IN ARIZONA PULLING A CAMPER ENGINE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. PULLED OVER, RESTARTED ENGINE, TRIED AGAIN, SHUT OFF AGAIN COUPLE MILES LATER. DID THIS SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL WE REACHED FORD DEALER. THEY FOUND FUEL SYSTEM MINI FUSE HAD MELTED IN FUSE PANEL. WITH VERY LITTLE RESEARCH FOUND THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE SINCE 2009-2014 TRUCKS. FORD REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM. THEY HAVE A TSB FOR IT. THEY MOVE FUSE TO OPEN SLOT IN FUSE PANEL & PUT A HEAVIER FUSE THAT CAN HANDLE LOAD. NOT ONLY DID THIS COST ME $500. BUT ALSO PUT ME & MY FAMILY IN EXTREME DANGER (SHUT DOWN ON FREEWAY WITH 18WHEELERS NEXT TO US) SOMEONE NEEDS TO MAKE FORD STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE CHECK F-150 FORUMS, MANY OTHERS. THANKS
