Description of the problem	While driving on freeway a "low brake fluid" warning light came on the dash. I tested brakes and they felt ok at that point. After driving several more miles the brake pedal took more pressure to slow down the vehicle and by the time i stopped the brake pedal went to the floor. I checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was empty. I found no brake fluid leaking under the vehicle. I filled the reservoir with new brake fluid and after driving 5 miles the brake warning light came on again. I stopped and checked the reservoir and it was empty again. After filling the reservoir again i took the vehicle into a ford dealer. They told me the master cylinder had failed and leaked the brake fluid into the brake booster unit and caused it to fail as well. The service adviser said they had 3 other f-150 trucks come in with this same issue. The fix is to replace the master cylinder and the brake booster unit with new parts. He claims the new parts have been re-engineered to fix the issue. I checked the internet for this problem and found many others have had the same issue with at least 2011, 2012, 2013 ford f-150 trucks, some never received the "low brake fluid" light before the brakes failed. This is an extremely dangerous safety issue as the brakes become unusable when this occurs. I tow a large trailer on some steep grades and this could be a disastrous issue as you can imagine. I believe this should definitely trigger an immediate recall to fix this very dangerous issue.
