Consumer Description

I was driving my 2014 F150 truck with 5.0L engine when Brake fluid level low light came on. I tested the brakes and the pedal was soft and went almost to the floor. I added brake fluid and within 5 miles it leaked out. I had the truck towed to my parents home near where I broke down. Confirmed that master cylinder leaked fluid into brake booster. I can see there was a recall for 2014 F150 3.5L engine for this issue. Called dealer and Ford corporate and was told it did not affect 5.0. Problem is exact to recall and I believe the issue affects more vehicles than listed by Ford. Ford directed me to file complaint with NHTSA.
