On June 15, 2018 I had a tone alert and message on the dash of my 2015 F150 appear while the truck was in motion indicating a "low brake fluid" warning. I applied the brake pedal and it appeared to be normal. I traveled a short distance to a parking lot and stopped. I returned after 20 minutes and when I stepped on the brake to start the truck the brake pedal went all the way to the firewall. I raised the hood and saw about 1/8 inch of fluid in the reservoir. I called aaa having the vehicle towed to tri-lakes Ford in branson Missouri. The diagnosis was master cylinder and brake booster failure.

While using the adaptive cruise control on my 2015 Ford F-150 (king ranch), my truck will confuse a dump truck as a stopped or slow moving vehicle in front of my truck. This will happen if a dump truck is in the lane beside me or in opposing lanes. This occurs at sow and high speeds. Multiple times this has occurred at 65mph+ in traffic. The truck will very abruptly apply the breaks and the collision warning system will alert. This has almost caused very serious wrecks due to the speeds that it often occurs. This is also not a seldom occurance, it happens every time I pass by a dump truck. It will occur on any and every street. I took the vehicle to a Ford delearship and their solution had no effect on the issue.

Brake pedal went directly to the floor then the low brake fluid level came on. Thank god I had just parked when it happened. I just drove home from a 2 hour long highway trip with my kids in the car. I guess I could be considered lucky that it happened when I parked and not going 75 mph.

I was driving on a city street when my brake fluid warning light came on. I stopped in a parking lot to check the brake fluid reservoir and discovered it was almost empty. When I restarted the truck the brake pedal went completely to the floor, so the truck had to be towed to the closest auto center because there was no braking ability! we were informed that the brake master cylinder had failed - the brake fluid was leaking into the brake booster sensor. A brake master cylinder should not fail on a new vehicle that has only been on the road 2.5 years and driven only 48,000 miles!

While driving my truck on the highway at 65 mph, I entered the off ramp and applied pressure on my brake pedal. My brakes failed and the brake pedal went to the floor. I quickly applied my parking brake, locking up the rear wheels. With no load in the bed of the truck, I slid for what seemed to be hundreds of feet before coming to a stop. Fortunately, there was no one in front of me during the skid. I took it to a tire repair vendor close by, and they diagnosed it as a master cylinder failure that also ruined the brake booster. I called Ford customer service, and opened a case for my vehicle. I have read that the 2013 and 2014 models of the F150 with the 3.5L engine were recalled for this problem, but that 2015 models such as mine have not been included as of this date.

Driving down the highway a brake fluid low message came up on my computer screen. I immediately tested my brakes and they still worked so I planned on pulling into the next service station to check the fluid level and possibly purchase more fluid. Upon having to slow down a little further down the road I pressed on the brake and the pedal went to the floor. I immediately started to depress the emergency brake and throttle it until I was safely off the road and could put the vehicle in park. I was towed back to my service station where my mechanic looked at the problem. My mechanic told me the master cylinder had failed and leaked into the brake booster. My mechanic replaced the master cylinder. I do have an extended warranty with Ford and after starting the process to get the work covered under warranty I have been receiving the run around. I will be trying a different dealership today.

After about 35,000 miles I started noticing a vibration when I applied the brakes. Took to a Ford dealer who inspected the brake pads and rotors and was told everything was fine. Took to christian brothers one month later and was told the rotors were warped and needed to be resurfaced. 80% of my driving is interstate travel with very little stop and go. I also do not drive around with one foot on the brake all the time. Therefore my guess is that this was caused by a design problem of some sort. Rotor should obviously last much longer.

- Santa Rosa Beach, FL, USA

I was driving my truck and the brake pedal went to the floor and brake light warnings on dash came on. Brake fluid resivoir was empty. Checked every brake line and connection, all were totally dry with no leaks anywhere. I read online this is very common and I am not seeing any leaks because the master cylinder is leaking and filling up the booster. I am going to call the dealer on Monday but I have 50K miles so it's out of factory warranty and I do not have an active recall, seems many others are having this problem and it's a critical safety concern and the truck cannot be driven as is.

- Land O Lakes, FL, USA

When engaging the brakes, pedal goes all the way to the floor. Checked brake fluid resivouir and it was almost empty. Refilled resivouir and still same issue. Read online about breaks and seems to be the exact same issue with the 2013 and 2104 3.5 ecoboost models. Currently a recall on those models for brake master cylinder replacement. This is an obvious known issue, but 2015-2016 models don't have a current recall yet. Please assist with recall for 2015-2016 mod

I had a warning on the dash display that the brake fluid was low. I figured I'd check it out after I got home which was only 6 miles away. I continued to get on the freeway (303 in AZ) my brakes seemed normal. When I started to exit the highway I needed to brake to merge with traffic and the pedal went all the way to the floor with no brakes engaging. I tried to pump them and got minimal brake pressure in my panic. I swerved to the shoulder going around 60 mph to miss traffic in front of me. I slowed and stopped at the light and very slowly with very little braking made it home. Took it to Firestone and had them look at it. Master cylinder failed is what they were able to find for a cause. Replaced it and works as it should now. If this is a known issue with F-150S it should be addressed. From what I've read online, it is. My truck only has 44K miles and shouldn't need a master cylinder replaced. The wrong person behind the wheel having this happen could of led to a very serious collision. I'm grateful it didn't with me.
