Ecoboost brake problem
I had a strange issue.....when bracking out of the garage first thing in am I noticed that I had very little braking.....almost like you were trying to stop with just the emergency brake..... like a gliding stop. The problem almost immediately would go away when I shifted to drive and continued on my way. Ford replicated the problem (thank god) and it turned out to be a faulty vacuum pump. We'll see tomorrow morning when I pull out. I can tell you this...it tok them 2 days to figure this out with Ford engineers......hmmmmm.

F150 Brake Problem!
Your brakes have nothing to do with the Ecoboost.

Att. acadianbob: I would have thought so... but now the dealership claims, that it has to do with the Ecoboost. Took them over a month to figure that out... I am not impressed...
