| Description of the problem | Was on a freeway exit. Traffic was heavy, and i was in stop and go traffic for about 10 minutes. I was just rolling forward and when i applied the brakes the pedal went down to near bottom and immediately warning lights came on indicating low brake fluid. I cleared the screen and continued carefully to my shop which was within a couple of miles. I added brake fluid to the max mark thinking i could nurse it to the dealer for repairs later in the day. When i attempted that trip several hours later the pedal went to the floor again and i had little or no brake power. I decided to have the truck towed and pulled back slowly into the parking space. I had no brake at this point and actually had to jam the transmission into park a couple of feet before hitting my own building. That is where the tow truck picked it up. |
