| Description of the problem | Started 2015 ford f150 in my driveway morning of 3-30-2018 and brake warning came on stating fluid was low. Also brake indicator was on. Tested the brakes and they functioned properly. Entered the freeway and was traveling at 65 mph when i had to apply brakes due to fast slowing traffic. Brakes failed as pedal went to the floor. Had to swerve to miss vehicle in front of me. Pumped brakes again and got minimal braking as pedal again went to the floor. Downshifted the transmission and used emergency brake to stop the vehicle. Proceeded very carefully to ford dealer that was less than a mile from my location. They diagnosed the vehicle with a master cylinder and booster failure. Cost $1,000. 00. Vehicle has 50k miles on it and is meticulously maintained. Ford dealer offered no explanation. |
