NHTSA Complaint #11530749 — 2016 FORD F-150

I came to an intersection and stopped. While my foot was on the brake pedal it became soft after 5 seconds and then was depressed to the floor board. While remaining stopped I pumped the brakes and they continued to be soft and spongy. I then proceeded through the intersection and proceeded to enter Interstate 10 just outside of Luling, TX. While traveling at 70 mph I tried my brakes again and quickly realized I didn’t have the ability to stop. I slowed my speed, found the next exit ramp and pumped my brakes and down shifted to bring my 2016 Ford F-150 to a stop on the shoulder. While stopped I pumped my brakes again and the brake pedal went directly to the floor with no resistance. My truck was not safe to drive so I had it towed to the nearest town of Luling, TX. The mechanic diagnosed the problem where the rubber brake line on the right front wheel had ruptured causing the loss of hydraulic pressure and fluid.
