TRAVELING AT 45 MPH ON A HIGHWAY I APPLIED BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN WHEN THE BRAKE FLUID LEVEL WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE SLOWING THE VEHICLE, HAD TO DOWNSHIFT AND APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. TOWED VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THE MASTER CYLINDER FAILED DRAWING BRAKE FLUID INTO THE POWER BRAKE BOOSTER. NO VISIBLE SIGN OF A BRAKE FLUID LEAK. MASTER CYLINDER AND POWER BRAKE BOOSTER MUST BE REPLACED. VEHICLE HAS 80,000 MILES . SOUNDS LIKE THE SAME PROBLEM IN A RECALL ON 2014-15 F150 BUT NO SUCH RECALL FOR THE 2010 F150.

AFTER THE TRUCK SITS FOR EIGHT TO 10 HOURS, WHEN I START IT UP I HAVE A VERY HARD BRAKE PEDAL AND NO BRAKES. THIS HAPPENS WHEN I BACK OUT OF THE GARAGE ON A SLIGHT DECLINE. IF I STAND ON THE BRAKE WITH BOTH FEET IT EVENTUALLY BEGINS TO WORK. THERE WERE NO DASHBOARD WARNINGS BEFORE I PULLED OUT OF THE GARAGE. THIS FAILURE WAS VERY FRIGHTENING. IMAGINE THE FEELING OF NO BRAKES! OMG! I WAS HEADED FOR THE NEIGHBOR'S YARD AND BIG TREE! I PLAN TO PURSUE REPAIR OF THIS WITH MY LOCAL SERVICE PEOPLE. MY RESEARCH NARROWED TO AN "ELECTRIC VACUUM ASSIST PUMP" ISSUE BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSB WHICH SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ME.
