   The brake master cylinder on my 2019 F150 had a seal leak which caused all brake fluid loss while towing with my family. Luckily we were able to stop safely, not only for us but others nearby. I know this is a recall that affects vehicles in other years but mine was not included and I feel like it should be because we had total brake failure. This is already documented by Ford recall number 25S37 (which aligns with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's number…

   All of a sudden I lost almost all braking. Brake light came on and a message saying low brake fluid prompted on screen. I see this was recalled for the 3.5l ecoboost. Why wouldn’t this be recalled for the 2.7l eco boost? Reading online it seems I had the same problem other people had.

   When pressing the gas pedal to accelerate , the truck will not accelerate rather it begins to rev the engine loudly (as if the gas pedal was being pushed while the truck is in neutral) the RPM shoots high to 6-7 (again the truck isn’t accelerating any faster just loudly revving,) then the truck jolts as if it has just been rear ended. The shifting is stuttering staying stuck in 3rd and 4th gear severing going back to 1 even at a stop. Vehicle messaging alerted 1/10/25…

   Having major issues with the auto stop control, it has turned the truck off while sitting in the middle of an intersection, has stalled my truck multiple times in busy areas of on coming traffic, has shortened my battery life and my starter, and it has shown different warning icons. The power train is also acting up by hard shifting, not wanting to switch gears, skipping gears, and also making it difficult to pin point problem. My rear left brake functions are causing an…

   While driving 65mph on I-495 on a +90 degree day in August my 2019 Ford F-150 Lariat 4x4, the horn of the F-150 beeped. It beeped again a couple more times then the F-150 powered down forcing me to coast through some lanes of traffic to reach the break down lane. ABS and maintenance due light were both illuminated. My code reader said a switch was shorted so I cleared codes to retest. I restarted the truck and after re-boott was able to drive the vehicle home. Not associated…

    I bought this truck last April, and have not had an issue like this since I bought it. Today, when I got off the highway I made a stop on a light and proceeded on a road (45mph) about a quarter mile down I felt my truck slowing down and all of the sudden it stopped in the middle of the road. I gave it a little gas but it didn’t move much, at first I thought the transmission blew but I didn’t have any lights illuminated nor did I hear any noises. The road I was on was on an…

    I approached a stop sign on a downhill descent and as I approached, the auto StartStop shut off my motor and I lost control of the vehicle. I could not steer and the brakes were squishy. I started rolling in to oncoming traffic. When I looked down at the dashboard it read, “Auto StartStop Shift to P, then Restart Engine.” I have a picture of the alert.
