| Description of the problem | My wife started driving the vehicle and a short time later a "brake fluid low" warning came on. She applied the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor and braking action was severely compromised. In order to get the vehicle off the road to a safe place, she had to continue to drive the vehicle a short distance, in order to bring the vehicle to a stop once in a parking lot she had to put the truck in tow haul mode (engine braking) and use the emergency/parking brake. We had the vehicle towed to a local service shop. They diagnosed the issue as a master cylinder leak into the booster. We then had the vehicle towed to dch ford of thousand oaks and they diagnosed the issue the same and said the master cylinder and booster need to be replaced. Vehicle has less the 50k miles and is the v6 with ecoboost. 2013 and 2014 models are apparently under active recall for same issue. 2015 (our year) is under recall query/investigation # rq16001 |
