| Description of the problem | Shifted from park to reverse, felt a pop but figured i drove over a pot hole. (nothing being me) put into drive, made intimidate right turn onto street, tried to slow down at light and brake peddle went straight to floor. Pumped it several times to slow down to a complete stop. Truck is still under 69k miles. (with 34k since last major service). Looked under truck and saw nothing, --> no warning systems or lights on <-- went to dashboard and ran the ford system check - it said "brake system ok" figured must have been air or something would check on it when i got home. Back into drive turned corner attempted to stop at stop light same issue only worse, figured i would have to baby it to a shop. Dash system still no warnings or brake notifications, thought maybe i'm low on brake fluid will check at home. Going 5 mph now, just a block away from home, attempted to pre-slow down to stop sign, fail just kept going - lucky no one was there. Pulled straight into home used e-brake to stop in-front of neighbors house. Brake system check again said "brake system ok" no brakes, looked under struck - rear drivers side brake fluid all over and pouring out. Wasn't able to find leak or cut or broken hose, maybe a link between hose and connector is bad or something else. Will have to check with ford further. For now - seems like a defect having a brake warning system that doesn't detect pressure or brake fluid levels. Even running the check returns brake system ok on dashboard - even when there are no brakes. |
