Quickly touch it again and it immediately sinks to the floor.Īpparently 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. At a full stop in park, I can repeat the failure. 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. I’ve seen master cylinders replaced to dealers stating that is the normal operation. It started yesterday with a freeway off-ramp failure and put me in the middle of a relatively safe intersection today… NO BRAKES. The problem seems to span 2016-17 models regardless of engine. Disabling it compromises the integrity of the vehicle and puts occupants at risk.Īnother owner on, writes, “I was shocked at the number of F150’s on this site with brake pedals suddenly going to the floor during all types of stopping situations. Of course, ABS is government mandated for a reason – it’s a safety system that saves lives. Taking out the ABS fuse, and thereby disabling the function solves the problem.”
This issues happened to me 4 times while driving and to my wife once. There are videos explaining the problem where the ABS unit goes into bypass and for one wheel but then the value does not reset. On the NHTSA website, one owner recalls, “Sudden loss brakes in a hard stop. Look anywhere online, and you’ll find F-150 owners with failed brakes. That is, unless you drive a 2017 Ford F-150. But we’re in the 21 st century now, and loss of stopping ability is, for the most part, a thing of the past. In the 1950s and 1960s, it wasn’t uncommon for brakes to fail.
