| Description of the problem | Driving in the new orleans french quarter, audible warning tone and visual indicator said "brake fluid low". Added one container of brake fluid, proceeded 1/2 mile. Again, audible warning and visual indicator showed low brake fluid. Added fluid to line in container. 1 mile, same indicators. Upon inspection, all brake fluid has leaked into the brake booster. No visible leak or fluid on the ground. This could have caused a serious accident. There is a recall on this for the same year vehicle but it supposedly does not include this vin #. Apparently it should. |
