| Description of the problem | I lost all pressure in the brake system. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor.. When i checked the brake reservoir, it was empty. I was unable to find any signs of leaking brake fluid. I refilled the reservoir and was able to restore pressure by pumping the brakes. A few minutes before total brake failure, i was in motion in an urban area, towing a boat equipped with surge brakes. I was travelling down a steep hill could feel the brake pedal travelling closer to the floor. I've had no problems since but routinely check the brake reservoir to ensure there is sufficient brake fluid i didn't report it until now, when i heard that other f150 owners had experienced the same problem. |
