Brake Light On problems of the 2013 Ford F-150

While driving brake pedal went to the floor, after that brake light came on, unable to stop, move to the side of the road and stopped with parking brake slowly. Upon inspection no brake fluid at reservoir and no external leaks. Brake fluid went to brake booster. Upon research Ford has a recall to address the same complain, but my VIN is not part of the recall. Went to dealer and called Ford, and they could not help by stating that my VIN is not part of the recall , even if the year is part of it the VIN is not. My f150 VIN is 1ftfw1et1dfd00487 my name rodolfo rodriguez. Turborudy@hotmail. Com.

While driving interstate, 65 mph, towing travel trailer (6500 lbs). Clear weather day, 72 degrees. Brake light warning light illuminated.

Upon inspection, I found no loss of brake fluid. No visible explanation for total brake failure.

I was driving down the highway at 60 mph a car pull over into lane in front of me? I stepped on the brakes and they were as hard as a rock, luckily I steered to the aide of the highway and down shifted till the truck came to a rolling stop, the brake and the parking brake light are on and the brakes were still as hard as a rock , I tried shutting the truck off and restarting, and still the same result, I put the truck in drive after awhile and kept messing with it pushing as hard as could on the brake pedal and I got a little bit of brakes , after driving a few miles they started working again, now I'm afraid waiting wondering if it's not gonna work again, it's dangerous, it's my main vehicle and most of my family randomly uses it. I've had a lot of problems with this truck.

Extremely hard brake pedal, vehicle will not stop easily in normal braking conditions, if pedal is pumped repeatedly red brake light and check brake system warning appear. If key is cycled on then off warnings go away but brake pedal feels the same. After extensive research I found vacuum pump (non electric) leaking oil. I replaced it and the same issues still happen. I've found 2 recalls that don't apply to my truck. One recall states the master cylinder seal is leaking which causes the brake pedal to go to the to floor. The other is a stiff pedal but that one was for an electric vacuum pump issue. Please help before Ford kills me. Also. I asked my local dealership (bell Ford) for tsbs regarding this and was denied the information. This should be classified as a safety recall that never ever expires!!!!!!!!!.
