Brake Fluid Leak Can Reduce Braking Power
A brake master cylinder may leak brake fluid into the brake booster.

Some seats, seatbacks, seatbelt buckles, or seatbelt anchors may have been installed with improperly manufactured bolts.

What owners report
I am submitting this complaint on behalf of my stepfather regarding a safety incident involving a 2014 Ford F-150. After coming to a complete stop at a red traffic light while on a curve, the truck shut off completely and would not restart. The hazard lights continued to function. The truck was towed to our home and has remained there because it is not drivable. We discovered Ford Safety Recall 24S37, NHTSA campaign number 24V444, which concerns a potential failure of the transmission output speed sensor (OSS). This failure may cause an unintended downshift into first gear, potentially resulting in rear-tire sliding and loss of vehicle control. The recall remedy involves updating the power
In the last month this has happened twice. While driving down the freeway my vehicle just downshifted on its own, speedometer dropped to 0, and I lost steering power but vehicle was still running. The wrench for service came on and the battery light also. As I was trying to get to a safe location the infotainment system went off first followed by my dash lighting. On the first time it happened after letting the vehicle sit for about an hour upon restart everything reset and was ok, but the engine light is still on after second incident and I'm afraid to drive it now.
I own a 2014 Ford F-150 equipped with the 6R80 six-speed automatic transmission (VIN: [XXX]), currently at approximately 133,000 miles. On XXX, while driving at ~70 mph on [XXX], my truck experienced an abrupt, unintended downshift â the precise failure mode described in Recall 24S37. The software patch prevented it from making it worse and a orange wrench came across the dashboard, but still it required some evasive maneuvering. I proceeded directly to the dealer to investigate; however, they were booked for the day. Not understanding the full impact I left to come back in the morning. The vehicle eventually became unsafe to operate, would not start, and had to be towed to Gullo Ford.
My truck has had repeated transmission issues, and has been "addressed" by two separate recalls (24S37 and 26S45). However, I am still having issues. I believe that "24S37 Supplement #1" specifically covers the issues I am having, yet Ford still continues to disregard my request. Tis is a major safety issue. It is my son's truck, and I am driving it now since I don't want anything to happen to him.
During a panic stop the brakes failed and the pedal went to the floor resulting in a rear end collision. The vehicle is currently with the mechanic but he believes it a failed brake booster. When I checked for related problems it seems the same brake booster (EL3Z-2140-E) in my 2014 F150 V8 5.0L was used in the same year 3.5L but yet the recalls (16S24 and 20S31) didn't include my vehicle
