| Description of the problem | I was driving on a city street when my brake fluid warning light came on. I stopped in a parking lot to check the brake fluid reservoir and discovered it was almost empty. When i restarted the truck the brake pedal went completely to the floor, so the truck had to be towed to the closest auto center because there was no braking ability! We were informed that the brake master cylinder had failed - the brake fluid was leaking into the brake booster sensor. A brake master cylinder should not fail on a new vehicle that has only been on the road 2. 5 years and driven only 48,000 miles! |
