| Description of the problem | My 2013 f150 was parked under my carport and i got in it to move it and hook up a small trailer. The warning light came on saying low brake fluid. I had a bottle and filled it. Got back in and moved 20 feet and had no brake pedal at all and the warning was on again. I checked and it is empty again. I saw online that this was a problem with many 2013 f150 trucks. And that there was a recall on this. Called the service dept. And was told that my truck was not covered by the recall !! I see no leaks so it must be the brake master cylinder and or booster !! But now i am not able to drive it to get repaired and have limited income being disabled !! So my complaint is if others of this same year and model f150 were in a recall for the exact same problem, then why is my f150 not covered in the recall. If i had been driving this truck when the brakes completely failed i could have easily been killed or have killed someone else !!! Why did i get screwed and not covered by the recall ??? |
