Complete brake failure! vehicle: 2014 F150 Ford ecoboost 4WD with 46,000 miles I drove from a parked position approximately 100' to a stop sign when the brakes failed completely. The brake pedal went to the floorboard with no braking and a warning appeared on the dash that the brake fluid is low. I went past the stop sign and through the intersection and stopped using the emergency brake. I received a recall notice ([xxx]) in the mail the day this happened (7/18/2016). The recall came out two months earlier but this was the first notification by Ford. The recall states the brake failure may involve the front brakes and not the rear brakes which is totally false. In my case, both front and rear brakes were instantly non-existent. Additionally the recall stated that a low fluid alarm and audible signal would notify driver if fluid was low. This also is incorrect. Ford dealerships say they have no directive to perform the work and not parts have been provided so their hands are tied until further notice. Their estimate is that it will take one month to get the parts so my truck will be out of commission between one and three months. This failure could have easily been fatal if it happened in traffic or on a highway instead of on a lightly traveled side street with no traffic. This report might not be important to the NHTSA since no death or damage was involved but it could have resulted in such.
