| Description of the problem | Vehicle has 63,000 miles and today the warning low brake fluid light came on while driving home. At that point the brakes we functioning normally. There was a auto parts store a few miles from my location so i diverted to the store. I thought i was either topping off fluid or would find a broken line when i arrived. At the turn into the parking lot the brake pedal went all the way to the floor nearly no braking power only going 5 miles an hour or less. At the store i inspected the vehicle and found no leaks. The reservoir was very low. I replace the fluid to the correct level and continued home. Within 5 miles the light came on again. I proceeded 2 more miles home to inspect the vehicle. I found the reservoir low again, i thoroughly inspected for leaks and found nothing on the outside of the cylinder or any lines. The i began to research the problem. I will now contact the dealer to arrange for repairs. I am suspect that something internally to the cylinder is leaking. Where else would 10oz of fluid go? If anyone from ford is reading this (national safety manager...) it's not just the goods or services you provide that matters. Integrity counts, and the long-term success of your business depends on it. I teach my children that lying, cheating and stealing are unacceptable. I expect integrity in my employees, it matters. Time to step up before something deadly happens |
