| Description of the problem | Driving to work, the brake fluid warning message was displayed. When i arrived at work the brake fluid reservoir was completely empty. The dealer stated the master cylinder and the booster were defective and needed to be replaced. The brake fluid had leaked into the booster. I had no braking capability, fortunately i had already arrived at work when i lost all braking capability. There is a recall on master cylinders and brake boosters on 2013-2014 f150's with v6 engines but mine is a v8 so it's not part of the recall. I had to pay my $100 deductible and use my extended warranty to have my vehicle repaired. A truck that's not even 3 years old with 37k should not be experience complete brake failure. |
