| Description of the problem | Sitting at a stop sign and "low brake fluid" light came on. Drove less than a mile home ready to use the ebrake after noticing the brake went all the way to the floor before stopping, so didn't know how much was left. The brake fluid was very low. Added brake fluid, drove it around the block and as i was pulling into the driveway, the "low brake fluid" light came on again. Turns out, it's the master cylinder leaking all the fluid into the brake booster, which apparently is a known issue that ford is ok with? They recalled the 2013 and 2014s, but 2015s and 2016s are having the same problem. Shame. |
