| Description of the problem | Backed up to boat trailer. Attached trailer to f-150 platinum. Brake pedal went to the floor. Checked brake fluid level and there was no fluid. Added (3) 6 oz. Bottles. No external leaks found anywhere. Bled brake lines to get vehicle home. Dealer found that the master cylinder seal blew and all the brake fluid went into the booster. Booster on back order for 5 days. I am having to pay to have booster replaced, seal, and abs system flush. This was very dangerous for me as i was towing my 17ft boat up a mountain @ 7% grade for 17 miles. I have read the recorded complaints for this same issue and it appears to have happened to many people over the last 2 years. Ford please fix this. |
