| Description of the problem | 2016 f-150 platinum with 20k miles just had "low brake fluid" notice come on as i started pulling out of parking lot that was downhill and realized i had no brakes when the pedal went to the floor. I quickly used emergency brake to stop the truck and pull back into parking space. Pulled up the hood to find the reservoir was low. Pulled up good ol google and what do you know... Its a common problem with the master cylinder. Glad i wasn't driving with my kids towing the boat going downhill. Off for repair. |
