| Description of the problem | Started 2 weeks ago it was a cold 20 degree morning and my brake light / parking brake light was on. A little later it was off and thought it must be a switch. Short while later it was on and off and on over and over. I checked the brake fluid and found it to be between the max and min levels. I have put more in since then. The trucks braking for the most part seems ok but have noticed at times in town the pedal does sink slightly lower than normal. Now i have see this problem and it makes since its having symptoms similar to what others are complaining of. It is a 2013 f-150 fx4 3. 5 eboost. I hope ford takes this serious i i'll be taking this to the ford dealer here local to me and having it looked at. This problem makes me nervous does ford even offer a updated part that won't break down again if i have my vehicle fixed? Noticed if i'm parked on. On a hill facing down the hill the light will go off but flat or any other position light comes off and on also brake fluid is down little bit again. |
