Description of the problem | Vehicle was in motion on the freeway nearing speeds of 65mph when the break light came on and indicated low break fluid (prior to the alert my breaking system was functioning normal) my breaks completely gave out, and i depressed the break petal as far as it could go only slightly slowing my vehicle and relied on my parking break to come to a complete stop. After towing it to an official ford repair shop, the diagnostic showed a failed master cylinder, which leaked break fluid into the break booster causing the whole system to suddenly fail putting my three year old sons life in danger as well as mine |
