Description of the problem	On 5/1/15, while backing out of my driveway, as i attempted to brake, the brake pedal went completely to the floor, and there was no stopping power. While attempting to pump the brake and use the parking brake, my vehicle crossed the street, went up the curb, and struck my neighbor's landscape wall, damaging it severely. Total distance travelled was approximately 2. 5 truck lengths before impacting the neighbor's wall. Upon inspection by myself and later my insurance investigator, the brake fluid reservoir was empty, but there were no obvious signs of leakage. No puddles or visible brake fluid. Truck was towed to local dealer who diagnosed the problem as 'brake failure due to leak faulty brake master cylinder'. Within a few days, the brakes again did not feel right with a strange pedal feel. Gradually, the worsening pedal feel was accompanied by a metallic scraping or grinding noise. A second trip to a dealer revealed a failed brake booster due to brake fluid ingestion, which also explained why there was no visible evidence of a leak after the crash. The brake booster operates at a vacuum, so as the master cylinder leaked catastrophically, the booster sucked in the fluid, causing it to ultimately fail as well. Both the brake master cylinder and the brake booster were replaced under warranty. I am surprised that there as been no action on this issue yet - the complete failure of the most important safety system of a 2. 5+ ton vehicle - as there are numerous nearly identical failure modes with this model and year. I truly hope nobody is killed by this; it was truly terrifying to be without brakes while moving in reverse in a massive vehicle.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
