| Description of the problem | Driving down the highway a brake fluid low message came up on my computer screen. I immediately tested my brakes and they still worked so i planned on pulling into the next service station to check the fluid level and possibly purchase more fluid. Upon having to slow down a little further down the road i pressed on the brake and the pedal went to the floor. I immediately started to depress the emergency brake and throttle it until i was safely off the road and could put the vehicle in park. I was towed back to my service station where my mechanic looked at the problem. My mechanic told me the master cylinder had failed and leaked into the brake booster. My mechanic replaced the master cylinder. I do have an extended warranty with ford and after starting the process to get the work covered under warranty i have been receiving the run around. I will be trying a different dealership today. |
