| Description of the problem | I started the truck and the "low brake fluid" light came on. I drove to the nearest repair facility (about 4. 7 miles) upon arrival the brakes went to the floor, after pumping the h$ll out of them i barely stopped before crashing into a group of cars. Come to find out the master cylinder is blowing fluid into the brake power booster on each press of the brakes. This happened all of the sudden and could have been very deadly if not for the fact that i was going very slow to begin with due to traffic. Now why, after not even 30k miles would this catastrophic failure happen? |
