## Narrative
The breaks have to be pushed too far down in order for truck to stop. I have had the breaks professionally bled and still… in order to come to a complete stop I have to put quite a bit of pressure for my truck to remain stopped at a red light. I hit a bicyclist crossing the road because my truck moved forward. There have been a few times I almost rolled into an intersection to oncoming traffic because I let my foot off the break just a hair but still applying a lot of pressure. This is VERY dangerous and can cause death. This needs to be looked at because I see a lot of people are having this problem or there have been recalls on other ford f150’s but my f150 didn’t have a recall for it. Please look into this for the sake of my life and my children’s and others.
