| Description of the problem | On morning of 5/25/19, i was traveling in kentucky about 180 miles from home, when i received a low brake fluid message. The brake fluid tank was about 1/2 full. I was in town and went ahead and picked up a bottle of recommended fluid and added a bit more, and error light went out. Brake pressure seemed good at that time. A few miles down the road i lost all brake pressure. The pedal went to the floor, no brake at all. I was on a two lane road and let the truck coast until i could pull it off the side of highway. I checked the brake fluid level again and tank was totally empty. I called a tow truck and had it towed to closest ford dealership. I had to catch a ride to pick up a rental to drive home. Dealership found master cylinder leaking into brake booster. They replaced both brake master cylinder and booster. They checked for recalls on this issue but this year and model truck is not included in any recalls. We picked up the repaired truck on 5/31. We were about two miles down the road after picking up, and the check engine light came on. We turned around and took truck back to dealership. They checked error code and turned off message. We were about 80 miles down road when check engine light came on again. We drove about 100 miles to home and called our local ford dealership. They found take fluid was clogging the vac supply and the manifold intake. They had to remove the manifold intake to clean all the brake fluid out of the vaccine hoses. Final repair was on june 7. Both repairs totaled $1337. 15, and a car rental and an extra night |
