| Description of the problem | I was driving hwy 290 in houston, tx the low brake fluid light came on within an additional 4 to 6 miles i lost all my brakes. Lucky i didn't panic and was able to get off the highway and pull into a strip center and use the emergency brake to stop. The brakes would not even stop when truck was idling. I have never had brakes fail especially with a new truck. I am still leary about driving a truck whose brakes failed completely and will probably never get that feeling out of my head. The dealership said the master cylinder failed and pushed all the fluid into the brake booster. I called ford motor company and spoke with a lady named [xxx]. She said she was sorry but parts fail and they could not even issue an extended warranty for the truck. She did offer a service plan for the truck. But i am not looking for something for free i just want my truck covered and feel safe it in with my family. I am very lucky there was no traffic and didn't wreck or have my son in the car with me. This could have been a terrible issue and should be addressed by ford in a more concerning manner. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6). |
