 Description of the problemWhile driving to work yesterday morning on the freeway my "low brake fluid" warning came on. As i tried to stop after exiting the freeway, the brake pedal went all the way to the floor with what felt like was no pressure. Only after fully seating the pedal to the floor was i able to get the brakes to grab and get stopped. Luckily it was early morning and traffic was minimal. When i checked my brake fluid it was well below the minimum level mark. Using another vehicle at work, i went and bought a small bottle of fluid and put the entire thing into the reservoir, bringing up to about half way between min and max. Over the next 10 minutes we watched the level slowly drop down below the min line and beyond. I drove back to the store and bought a large bottle of fluid, having decided i was going to take the truck to the dealership. I filled the reservoir to the max line and set out at a slow speed using side streets. I hadn't went 2 miles when the "low brake fluid" light came on again. I checked the level, again down below min, and i again refilled the reservoir, using the rest of the bottle, and continued on.... Once again within 2 miles the light returned. I never really had brake pressure throughout this time. Never once did i find evidence of a leak. Today the dealership called and told me my master cylinder and brake booster both need replaced, and the fluid was building inside the booster, hence no puddle. My truck is only 4 years old, with less than 54,000 miles on it so it seems early in its life to have this system fail suddenly. After doing some research online, including this site, i've seen that this isn't quite as uncommon as i originally thought it would be. There seems to have been many instances of this year/make/model of truck losing its brake system around the same mileage or earlier.

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
