My new 2018 Ford F150 has weak brakes they cant seem to fix it at the dealer?

Asked by gfurguson Oct 09, 2018 at 12:09 PM about the 2018 Ford F-150

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a new 2018 F150  - less than 1000 miles. The brakes are weak and have a long travel on the pedal almost to the carpet for a full stop. They first said no problems found. The next time I pushed and they replaced the master cylinder, the power booster, and bled the lines. It is still not acceptable and make me nervous to drive. The pedal goes down 4-5 inches before stopping and gets near the carpet at full stop.

LEMON! Demand they buy it back or give you a new truck. I would not drive it again.

Tell them to check for loose front hub bearings will cause pedal to floor if one or both are loose.

The issue lies within the ABS system. Mine has the same issue. It goes in shortly for replacement of the ABS system.
