general problems of the 2017 Ford Expedition - part 2

At the present I have a vehicle that can not be driven. The low brake fluid alarm and light came. So I stopped purchase some brake fluid and fill the master cylinder up. Not 5 minutes later the alarm goes off and low brake fluid light is on. Now I have no or little brakes. Brake pedal goes straight to the floor. Too dangerous to drive. My vehicle is now in my drive way after another bottle of brake fluid and slowly driving home. Don't know where the fluid is going don't see any on the ground. I was told my vehicle VIN # was not included in the recall.

While driving with two of our younger children, our 18 year old daughter noticed the brake warning light came on and the brakes failed to the point that the pedal had to be depressed completely to the floor to get any braking power, which was considerably diminished. After taking the car in to the mechanic, we learned we needed a new master cylinder and brake booster because the original set was defective. We also then learned of the current related recall for 2016-2017 Ford Expeditions (NHTSA recall no. 22v-150) yet our VIN is somehow inexplicably excluded. We had the repair done (see attached invoice) as otherwise the vehicle was unsafe for driving. We are just grateful that no one was hurt as it was a terrifying experience. The recall needs to be expanded immediately before someone is seriously injured, or worse.

Exactly as specified in the recall. I first heard a tone, followed by brake failure warning light, then another brake failure light. Luckily I was parking almost immediately and braking was spongy. After turning off the vehicle and trying to restart, upon pressing the brake petal it went completely to the floor rendering me completely stranded. Vehicle did start. Wrecker was called. There was no visible brake fluid leakage on the car or the pavement.

Left home for work and low brake fluid light came on. Went to nearby part store purchased brake fluid. Filled reservoir. Drove about 2 miles light came back on. Pulled over to check and reservoir was completely empty. No visible sign of leak. Had to coast to a slow roll and pull emergency brake to stop.

Loss of power brake assist. Warnings appear peddle get hard still have braking. Can leave car sit not running or still be driving and system resets self. Still have fluid in master cylinder. This has happened twice.

Vehicle has 124,058 miles. On this date - oct 14, 2021, brake pedal got soft, audio and visual warning saying low brake fluid level. Luckily was just slowly pulling into driveway after driving at 55-60 on us 341. Checked brake fluid level. It was indeed very low. Added dot4 fluid. Drove vehicle slowly in back area and depressed brake pedal several times. Pedal still not quite right. Thought maybe had air in lines. But soon audio/visual warning came on. Checked brake fluid level. Low again. Looked underneath for any obvious leaks - none. Check fire wall - nothing. So assumed fluid was going in to booster. Looked on internet and found other complaints just like this. This is extremely dangerous. Has anyone been killed yet? the brake parts need to be built like aircraft parts.

Brake failed in parking lot and vehicle crashed into another car. A low brake fluid light came on and very shortly (1 minute) after the brake failed completed. Vehicle was serviced at dealer two months ago. Contacted Ford corporate and Ford dealer. Ford corporate said there is nothing they can do. Ford dealer unresponsive. This is a major safety issue. I have never heard of real issues with complete brake failure on a newer car. Very dangerous.

Brake master cylinder fluid leaked into the brake booster causing complete brake failure.

Breakfast fluid leaking, brake fluid light on. Found brake master cylinder leaking inside of brake booster.

Brakes failed while driving. Mechanics found all brake fluid leaked internally from master cylinder into the brake booster. I have another Ford vehicle that was recalled for this exact problem in 2017.

Wife started car. Pushed on the brake to put it in gear. Brake pedal went to floor. Checked master cylinder. Cylinder was completely empty. Brake fluid leaked past seals in master cylinder into the brake booster, then got sucked into engine and burned. No warning lights came on at all. . Luckily wife was at the pool down the road from our house when it happened. She drove 5 mph back to the house. A four year car should not have a faulty brake master cylinder. Master cylinders should last for at least 10 years. Ford has a major problem brewing.

Sitting at drive up atm vehicle in park engine running, after business transaction placed right foot on brake and moved vehicle from park to drive and instant independent full acceleration occurred.

Exiting the 215 northbound, we stopped and parked at a store. While parked the indicator light came on for low tire pressure. I did not pay that much attention because the car indicator light has come on before and the car had recently had its routine maintenance check. When driving was resumed the car began to wobble. Assuming we had a flat, we attempted to drive to a more illuminated area to inspect the car and call road side services. The car at this point was beginning to decelerate almost to a stop so I inched car onto an unpaved area. I assumed the car's slowing and stopping on its own was a safety feature. As I pulled to the side of an unpaved city road, I had my foot on the brake but not in the parking gear. The car was stationary as my sister exited the car and to inspect the tires. The right rear passenger tire was fully deflated. My two daughters were about to get out of the car so had unfastened their seatbelts. This is when the car made a quick sudden jerk forward, I pressed my foot on brake to make sure the car was at a complete stop and that was when it felt like a force had pushed the car to top speed, an sudden unintended and forceful acceleration. I attempted to brake but I had no control. I was trying to avoid hitting the pole, but also had no control over the steering wheel. The car collided with a water valve/pole and chain link fence at top speed.

Breaks failed due to master cylinder failure. Had repaired locally as car barely made repairs shop blocks away after adding break fluid. Was told since I did not use authorized Ford facility I could not be reimbursed for repairs. I see a recall was issued for my model year but no recall for my vehicle. It had same problem. If a forced refund is possible I’d be interested. This was in 2019 but still have $823 invoice.

Below please find my account of a very frightening event that took place when my 2017 Ford Expedition malfunctioned. In late August, 2018 we were on vacation in seattle, wa. , visiting my son and his family. Five of us were in my Expedition and my son was driving. We pulled up to park by his house on a steep road. He put the vehicle into park, applied the parking brake, removed the keys, and proceeded to get out. There were three adults and two children (ages 7 and 4). All three adults got out and were helping the children out when the car rolled forward on its own. I was out of the vehicle on the passenger side. I tried to hold the door handle to stop the vehicle from rolling but it took off. My son who was outside of the vehicle also realized what was happening, jumped back in, and applied the brakes to stop the car. It rolled about 12 feet downhill before he could stop it. The two children were still in it. The street was on a very steep incline that I would guess to be about 25 degrees. If my son had not stopped the car it could have rolled about 100 yards through two intersections and into a house with the two children in it. I don't even want to think about what could have happened to them. We took the Expedition to a Ford dealership in seattle (Ford of kirkland) to get it checked out. They stated that they could not find anything wrong. After returning home from vacation, we took it to the local dealership (bolton Ford, lake charles, la. Where it was purchased new) and they said that they could find nothing wrong. What do I do now? can Ford explain what happened and reassure me that it will not happen again?.
