| Description of the problem | Upon braking when entering the florida i-275 on ramp, my brake pedal went all the way to the floor accompanied by a "low brake fluid" dash warning. My braking capacity was severely affected and emergency braking would not have been an option. I was able to exit immediately and pull over to investigate. My brake reservoir was nearly empty and no sign of leaks beneath the vehicle. I drove very slowly (stupid idea) to my ford dealership and explained my issue. Due to me extended warranty, i was able to rent a vehicle and leave mine. Tech called next day and informed me brake master cylinder was defective as well as the brake booster. He informed me it "is covered under warranty". I have news for them. The hundred dollar co pay is going to be an "issue"... My truck is the 6cyl. 3. 6 liter eco boost twin turbo. Very discouraged ford is not recalling this issue and pray someone is not seriously hurt or killed as a result of their irresponsibility. |
