Description of the problem | Brake failure. 2016 expedition ecoboost, car notification of 'low brake fluid'. Even after adding brake fluid purchased from ford dealer; the fluid keeps decreasing all without any visible leakage around car and/or tires/etc. Eventually and quickly you will quickly get zero brake response; the brake pedal will go to bottom of floor and in my case; there was white clouds coming out of our exhaust. Zero braking ability. We had our vehicle parked on a flat parking lot and after checking the fluid, after filling it up; turned car on; had emergency parking brake enabled and then putting it in drive; just to test brakes; the car rolled but zero ability to brake, thus reapplied parking brake to control vehicle to a stop. All while engine appears to sound ok; with an occasional 'stutter' while white smoke comes from the tailpipe. |
