 Description of the problemTotal brake failure. Started vehicle and went to back up and brake peddle went to the floor, low brake fluid light light came on as soon as the peddle hit the floor. Vehicle was slowly moving backwards and would not stop. Tried pumping the peddle to stop the truck. Used parking brake to stop vehicle to avoid backing into other cars behind. Checked brake fluid level and found it was almost out, less than a 1/4 inch in the reservoir. Checked entire vehicle and no leaks could be found called crossroads ford in cary, nc and they indicated i should fill it with dot3 fluid and bring it in. Filled reservoir to max line and pumped braked a few times until they were firm. Drove to the dealership, about 25 miles. No issues getting to the dealership other than the brakes were quite spongy and not too responsive. Upon inspection at the dealership, they removed the master cylinder and found the fluid had filled the brake booster and the master cylinder had failed.. This seems to be a very serious problem, i'm very lucky i wasn't killed or killed someone in an accident. Vehicle was just a little over 500 out of warranty.
