| Description of the problem | Driving on the highway saturday may 30 and without warning the brake fluid low warning light started flashing. The brakes were barely usable and the pedal had no pressure and stopped just off the floor. I could use the brakes but very slow to stop the vehicle. I could use the pedal for the emergency brakes but just barely. I was driving on an interstate at 65mph , towing a 23' boat, i was not using the brakes at the time of failure, there was no warning prior to the failure. I had the truck serviced on may 13th and had casually looked the night before the trip and noted no problems. I stopped bought fluid and filled the fluid reservoir and 15 miles later the same warning light came on. Stopped and looked for leaks under vehicle and at each wheel and nothing evident. Had someone meet me and tow the boat for me as i limped the vehicle to dealer. |
