Wasn't looking for advice per se but just wondering if anyone had experienced any issues.
www.f150forum.com is the biggest F150 site on the web. NEVER have I seen any common brake issues on there. If there was, believe me, it would be all over just like all the problems with the Ecoboost motor (condensation, plug gaps, carbon build up, turbo failures from modifications, etc.) .
Sounds like the brakes were previously worked on and the air never got bled out of the lines completely.
No issue with the Ecoboost at all. I believe the early ones did have problems but later production resolved most of them. Brakes SHOULDN'T have been worked on-the truck's only been in for routine maintenance. My thought was also air in the lines but dealer says it's just a bad vacuum pump. When you manufacture enough of something sooner or later one will fail. We're just going to pass it off as "one of those things" at least for now.
The news is that Ford's latest CAC condensation, "limp mode" fix (4th or 5th?), only for 2014 models, is not working in all situations.
Apparently the CAC design flaw exists in EVERY F-150 EcoBUST ever built, only happens with conducive climatic conditions coupled with driving style unique to those conditions.
L o n g drive consistently only in cruise mode, NEVER on boost, and low Rh.
Or short "cruise only" drive with high, ~80+, Rh.
Good luck.
Yep, at the F150forum, there are still condensation reports with 2013/2014s as well. Ford has never had a fix just a mask.
