| Description of the problem | While driving saturday morning around 7 am on may 26, 2018 my brake fluid light came into the dash. When i pressed on my brakes i noticed there was not much resistance when pressing then the pedal went to the floor. I was first on rt37 in rhode island heading towards cranston when i noticed the light and exited immediately when i then found that my brakes were no longer working. Per my mechanic -the master brake cylinder is leaking fluid into the brake booster depleting the break fluid in the primary reservoir minimizing braking capabilities. After learning what the problem with my truck was i researched any recalls. Per the nhtsa the same issue already recalled on may 26 2016 for 271000 of the same truck make model and year. Ford is denying that my personal vehicle is involved in the recall. The truck has all maintenance required and approximately 53000 miles, far under the estimated time a problem like this should arise. |
