- breaks did not work and caused me to be in an accident. Date of accident 8/15. -called Ford the week prior to accident to ask if there was a recall because my break light came on. She told me there was not and they didn’t have the part in stock to repair it if it was. I told her I would try to add fluid and that seemed to work and the light turned off, unless I used my parking break. So I only parked on flat areas until it was ready to be fixed and didn’t use the parking break, but that time never came. After that, I got into the accident on 8/15 and even reported to my insurance (kemper auto) that my car wouldn’t break even though I was far back enough to break without incident but the car just wouldn’t stop. My right tire is bent and my left tire is popped so now I’m unable to drive it to the dealer if the part comes in.

Brake pedal sank to the floor while driving. Pressure resumed temporarily. Brake fluid continued to leak aftrr being parked. This is third incident of this occurance.

Brake line has ruptured causing brakes to fail while driving for the second time in 2 years. I was almost killed in both of these incidents as it happened suddenly while on the road. The first one was fixed under a recall but it has happened again with no support from Ford. This is dangerous and should be looked into.

Brake hose failure causing loss of braking ability. Confirmed by independent service center that brake hose ruptured and required repaired. No warning lamps or messages. Braking required holding pedal all the way to the floor. Occurred today, 04/02/2025.

As I was leaving a parking deck and heading toward the exit gate, I applied the brakes, but the pedal went all the way to the floor. I had to pump the brakes repeatedly to stop. After driving a short distance, the problem persisted, so I parked my car and left it overnight. The next morning when getting the car, I noticed a wet spot near the rear driver-side tire. Upon checking, I found that the brake fluid reservoir was empty, so I refilled it with brake fluid. The vehicle has since been repaired by an independent mechanic and was not inspected by a Ford representative or anyone else besides the mechanic. I don’t recall seeing any warning notifications during the incident but the inspection report indicates a brake code error.

First my front right brake line severed in 2023. I took it to les schwab and had it repaired and I paid for it. Later, I found out it was part of a "recall". The local Ford dealer said they could not reimburse me for my repair cost due to timing issues. However, they replaced both front brake lines (even though the right side had already been recently replaced). Yesterday, my rear brake line is severely damaged and leaking brake fluid and my brakes are "soft". This is not not safe. Why were only the front brake lines recalled? what about the rear brake lines? les schwab is trying to repair my car. They can't get a new rear brake line. They contacted Ford and were told the rear brake line comes from minnesota and that there are none in stock in western us. According to Ford it has to be ordered and will take 2 weeks. I called several Ford numbers for customer service and support. They are not willing to help me out. I was told I would have to bring my car to a Ford dealer and have it diagnosed by Ford before they could order the rear brake line. It takes 2 weeks to get an appointment. Then once Ford diagnoses my car, they will order the part which would take another 2 weeks. I can't drive my car for one month with bad brakes. ! I need my vehicle to go to work. If Ford knows the front brake lines are inferior and sub par and thus subject to a recall, how can they ignore the back brake lines? how can the recall only be limited to front brakes? furthermore, I should not have 2 separate brake lines fail on me on the same car. This is a safety issue. Why is it so difficult to get a replacement rear brake line? something needs to be done. This is unacceptable.

Brake line that was recalled and repaired ruptured and is causing a brake fluid leak and increased pedal travel, increased braking distance, and overall unsafe driving conditions.

The brake fluid is leaking rapidly. The brakes will work fine and them 30 minutes late, upon restarting the vehicle, the brakes are extremely spongey and it takes a very, very long time to brake at all. Because it occurs suddenly and without warning and no warning lights display on the dash to anticipate the issue, pedestrians are most at risk, in ashton to putting myself and other drivers and property owners at risk of being struck.

My brake lights are not turning off. Upon inspection of the brake light switch attached to the pedal, I saw a plastic part (washer) that had broken in half. I believe it is the same issue that affected other 2014-15 Ford models. . Read more...

When approaching a stop light the breaks felt less resistant and would not engage properly. Luckily we had just left home so we turned around and took a different vehicle. When we came back home there was a puddle of break fluid under the rear right tire and the break fluid reservoir was empty. Since there was already a recall in the front break hoses we are concerned there is a fault with the rear break hoses.
