| Description of the problem | On 09/22/2019 while driving, on a local city street, where the speed limits vary from 30-45 mph, my brakes became completely ineffective while driving in a 45 mph zone. My vehicle is a 2015 ford f-150 with 63,000 miles. I inspected the brake fluid reservoir, and it was completely empty with no sign of leakage anywhere. I did a quick search on this issue and learned that ford had issued a recall for the same issues on the 2013-2014 models, but not 2015 and up, which are now experiencing the same symptoms. The vehicle is currently at a local ford dealership where i am finding it difficult to get a resolution. The dealership has confirmed at this point that it is the brake master cylinder that has leaked fluid into the brake booster, which caused the loss of brakes, and is the exact same problem as the recall for the previous year models. The dealership is supposed to provide me with an estimate of the repairs, but have yet to do so after a week of being at the dealership. |
