| Description of the problem | While driving my 2015 ford f-150 ecoboost at 45 mph on a city street i had a low break fluid warning light come on. I stopped at a stop light and all seemed fine. I proceeded 2 blocks to find somewhere safe to check the brake fluid level. When i tried to stop at the next stop light i had no brakes at all!!! I went through the red light intersection with my foot to the floor on the brakes. With luck, i did not hit another vehicle. I coasted slow enough to use my parking brake (e-brake) to make a full stop. I open the hood and noticed that the brake fluid reservoir was almost completely empty. After carefully examining all of the brake lines ,fittings, calipers, master cylinder and the engine compartment no brake fluid was found leaking anywhere. I had the 2015 ford f-150 ecoboost towed to a dealership. Also about a week ago during a long road trip i noticed a lot of wind noise coming from the drivers door. I was on an interstate going about 75 mph. I got off of the interstate and re-closed my door thinking i did not shut it hard enough. About 5 miles down the interstate driving about 75 mph i went over an approach (or a bump) to a bridge and the door dropped out of it's closed position and i could stick 4 fingers out between the door and door frame. I pull over at a safe area to exam the door and frame. I noticed that the door bolts (top and bottom) that hold the door hinge to the door had come loose and backed out about 4 turns. I tightened them and finished my trip. I notified the dealership so they can see why that had happened. |
