| Description of the problem | Got into my truck this morning and brake pedal went to the floor and in the display it showed low brake fluid. I filled up the reservoir and pumped brakes and they were good so i drove down the road about 15 miles and pedal went to the floor again and the display said low brake fluid. Got vehicle back to house and filled it back up with brake fluid and pumped brakes and no leaks but still losing fluid. Checked online and found ford had a recall of the brake reservoir leaking fluid into the booster but it was for august 2013 and my truck was made in june of 2013 so i didn't get a recall. Dealership confirmed this is what's happening to my truck. Ford needs to take a look at this and include more vehicles in this recall before someone gets killed because their brakes fail. |
