| Description of the problem | Complete brake failure while pulling a travel trailer on i-95 in virginia. The low brake fluid light came on, immediately followed by the brake failure light coming on. Fortunately, i was able to coast to almost a stop at an uphill exit ramp and then apply the emergency brake. The truck and travel trailer had to be towed to the nearest ford dealership. The service manager told me that the master cylinder had failed and the brake fluid was pumped into the brake booster and contaminated the whole braking system. All parts needed to ne replaced. |
