While trying to pass a dump truck on the interstate with adaptive cruise on, vehicle slammed on the brakes, and causing the vehicle behind me to slam on theirs to avoid hitting me..

Brake fluid is leaking. I was driving and all of a sudden my brakes went all the way to the floor and I nearly lost control of the vehicle. I also got a notice of low brake fluid, so I put some in and a few days later it was low again. I noticed that it is leaking out onto other parts under my hood.

- Coatesville, PA, USA

As I was driving on the highway, I got a warning on my dash saying the brake fluid level was low, accompanied by the brake light illuminating on the dash. As I went to pull over to a safe location, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor when I pressed the pedal. At this point I had no power from my brakes, having to stop by downshifting and using the emergency brake. Upon inspection there was a very small amount of brake fluid in the reservoir and no visible signs of a leak or broken brake lines. I purchased brake fluid and refilled the reservoir. Within 2 miles the warning illuminate again with the brake pedal going to the floor. I had to have my truck towed to the dealership for repairs after this incident.

I was driving my 2015 F150, towing a trailer of around 7000 lbs. All of the sudden my truck said 'low brake fluid' and the pedal went straight to the floor. This happened on a highway. This turned out to be the same problem that Ford recalled in the 13-14 models. The master cylinder leaks into the brake booster, leaving no trace of leaking brake fluid, and therefore you will not know until it is too late.

The factory/ dealer installed tow brake controller does not apply enough brake power to stop trailer. When towing my 5th wheel(10000lbs)it works fine when I manually apply the override button but when I apply the brake pedal the trailer brakes don't get the command to engage with enough power to stop trailer, my truck is doing almost all of the braking. I have read online where many Ford F 150 owners are having similar issues. Ford says there is nothing wrong. I have been towing using the manual override switch or learning to slam on the brakes to stop. The trailer brakes do work almost when I slam on the brake pedal. I am sure that this shouldn't be happening because it's not safe.

On 09/22/2019 while driving, on a local city street, where the speed limits vary from 30-45 mph, my brakes became completely ineffective while driving in a 45 mph zone. My vehicle is a 2015 Ford F-150 with 63,000 miles. I inspected the brake fluid reservoir, and it was completely empty with no sign of leakage anywhere. I did a quick search on this issue and learned that Ford had issued a recall for the same issues on the 2013-2014 models, but not 2015 and up, which are now experiencing the same symptoms. The vehicle is currently at a local Ford dealership where I am finding it difficult to get a resolution. The dealership has confirmed at this point that it is the brake master cylinder that has leaked fluid into the brake booster, which caused the loss of brakes, and is the exact same problem as the recall for the previous year models. The dealership is supposed to provide me with an estimate of the repairs, but have yet to do so after a week of being at the dealership.

Complete brake failure. While my 15 year old son was driving with his learners permit, we were exiting a highway. The weather was clear and dry. As he was slowing down the vehicle on a 65mph hwy off ramp, at approxamatly 35-40 mph the low brake fluid light came on and the brake pedal went soft and almost to the floor. He wasn't able come to complete stop. We made a right turn rolling onto the cross street and an oncoming vehicle had to slam on their brakes to avoid us. I then took over the driving to get the vehicle home. It was clear there were no power brakes and the brake pedal was soft, taking mutch more distance to depress the pedal. Once we were home I added brake fluid again and again totaling two quarts of fluid. The fluid would only last in the reservior for several minutes then it would drain down. There were no signs of fluid leaking anywhere along the entire brake system. The vehicle is now undrivable. My asumption is that the fluid is leaking into the brake booster. The vehicle is in transit to the dealer for diagnostics.

I would like to share my wife's story on what happened while driving my 2015 F-150 3.5L ecoboost last Thursday 9/5/2019. Around 5:30pm my cell phone rings and the id shows that it is my wife calling me. I figured she was calling me to talk about her day or what I was making for dinner but she was really calling me to tell me my truck's brake and fluid light sensor came on. She was worried about driving the truck any further as she was coming down the highway. I told her that I would google to see if anyone else was having this issue and that I would call her right back. I quickly searched 2015 F-150 brake and fluid light sensor and instantly found several posts about people having this issue. After reading a couple very quickly, most people said that they lost their brakes instantly or with in minutes. I was worried so I quickly called her back and calmly asked her if she could get off the highway or pull off asap. I then proceeded to tell her that she might lose the brakes in the truck. I told her to call me if the vehicle became worse. At that time she was close to the exit. As she was approaching the off ramp the brake pedal pushed almost to the floor. She pressed the pedal again before getting to the yield sign and realized that she was losing the brakes. Luckily the traffic was not heavy in the oncoming traffic and allowed her to run the yield sign without having the ability to stop if needed. She got it stoped. She then called me again to tell me that the truck lost its brakes and that it was unable to be driven. At this time the brake pedal went to the floor every time she pressed it. When I arrived at her location the brake fluid was about empty. I refilled it and pressed the brakes a few times. We had it towed to a Ford dealership. Ford found that the master cylinder failed. I'm still waiting for them to get the replacement part in.

I depressed brake pedal to start truck. Once truck started the pedal went all the way to the floor and the brake warning light on the dash illuminated. Tried moving the truck a couple feet to see if I had brakes, and the truck did not stop when the pedal was depressed. Used the emergency brake to stop. Checked the master cylinder, it was empty. I added about 10 oz. Of brake fluid, pumped up the brakes and it worked. Drove about 8 minutes to work, brakes ok. I returned to the truck after work, about 10 hours and the pedal went to the floor again and no brakes. I filled master cylinder again and was able to drive home. I drove very slowly and carefully because I expected to brakes to fail at any time. I live 5 miles from work. If it was any more I would have had the truck towed. I will have it towed to the dealer in the morning.
