| Description of the problem | On july 6,2015 i came out of the gym entered my truck ,turned it on the brake light came on and the peddle went all the way to the floor,luckily i was parked and not driving when it happened or the outcome could have been different. I called my dealer they sent a tow truck, out to pick up my vehicle. Brake fluid was low it had leaked internally from the master cylinder into the vacuum line then into brake booster. They had to replace the brake booster and the master cylinder. I just wanted to let you know that it is happening. My truck is an eco boost v6 and it is now march and i am taking my truck back in as son as i can get an appointment because of the front brakes grinding and squeezing, making noise when i come t a stop. My vehicle only has 27,000 plus miles. The brake failing happened at 22,000 plus miles. I have the invoice and work order in my possession when and if it is needed . I 'm as i stated earlier was lucky i wasn't moving . My only displeasure was that i had to rent a car for 2 days or stay home ,so even though they didn't charge me i still paid over 200. 00 for a rental car. |
