Description of the problem	While driving down highway at 45 mph the brake warning notice chimed and low fluid warning displayed in the dash information panel. I immediately pulled off main road onto a smaller road and then into a parking spot (took about 1 minute). Just as i pulled into the parking space, the brake pedal went to the floor and the truck barely came to a stop. For the record, it is a certified pre-owned 2013 f-150 fx4 eco-boost with just under 50,000 miles on it. Puzzled, i popped the hood to check the brake fluid and found only 1/2 inch left in the reservoir. This made no sense since i had just filled the windshield fluid a few hours earlier in the morning and noticed that the fluid level for the brakes was about 1/4 inch below the max fill line. I had to call my wife for a ride to the nearest auto parts store to get brake fluid. While i waited i checked the entire truck for brake fluid leaks but did not find any. After returning with the fluid, i filled the reservoir to the max fill line hoping the brakes would return to normal but thinking there might be a leak somewhere. After starting the truck and trying the brake pedal, i found that the brake pedal still only goes all the way to the floor and there is no pressure. I have concluded that the master cylinder must not be working. Lucky for ford my 2 year old daughter and 10 month old son were not in the vehicle at the time and also lucky that i did not hit anyone or anything. I am very angry and also concerned. This is a family vehicle, working brakes are not negotiable.
