Description of the problem | I was shocked at the number of f150's on the web with brake pedals suddenly going to the floor during all types of stopping situations. The problem seems to span 2016-17 models regardless of engine. It started yesterday with a freeway off-ramp failure and put me in the middle of a relatively safe intersection today... No brakes. I've seen master cylinders replaced to dealers stating that is the normal operation. That last part is pretty lame... Brake pedal going to the floor? The brake initially seems to work and then the pedal sinks slowly to the floor with no braking force at that point. At a full stop in park, i can repeat the failure. Touch the brake and it appears to be ok. Quickly touch it again and it immediately sinks to the floor. Apparently knowledgeable dealer indicated that there may be an abs solenoid sticking cycling brake fluid back to the reservoir instead of being applied to brake pressure. This sounded much more logical than replacing the master cylinder unless the abs is integrated into it in some manner. |
