| Description of the problem | I was driving down a busy 3 lane street, when i tried to apply my brakes the pedal went all the way to the floor and did very little to slow the truck, then the brake fluid low alarm went off. I pulled off the road into a parking lot to avoid other cars and applied my emergency brake to stop. I checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was empty, so i inspected all around under the truck and found no leaks or signs of leaking. 3 days before this i called the dealership and complained the brakes were starting to make some noise and didnt feel quit right, they said its probably dust and brakes are not covered under the warranty so you will need to pay to have them checked out. This truck is not even a year old! I drive this truck for work and to haul my family in it, now i don't feel safe, i should have never sold my old f150. |
