Description of the problem	While driving my vehicle the low brake fluid light came on as i was pulling into a parking spot. I parked the vehicle and checked the brake fluid, it was well below the minimum level. Since it stopped ok, i thought when i left i could just drive to a store and buy brake fluid. When i got in the truck 30 minutes later and started it the brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Putting in drive i found that there were no brakes at all and used the foot emergency brake to stop the truck. I got a ride to a car parts store where i bought 32 oz. Bottle of brake fluid. I poured more than half the bottle into the reservoir getting it up to the max line, started the vehicle, pumped the brakes and got brake pressure back. I drove back to my campsite which was 1. 5 miles away. Halfway there the low brake fluid indicator came on again. By the time i arrived after 1. 5 miles, the brakes were almost useless and there was very little pressure under the pedal. I parked the truck and check the fluid, again it was well below minimum and i could hear what sounded like a vacuum leak. I filled the reservoir up to almost max again, pumped the brakes, got pressures back and looked for any leaks under the truck and found none. I pulled the truck back and forth, about a 100 feet, repeatedly to see if i could see a leak - nothing, but the level in the reservoir was going down. I drove the truck in around a 1/4 mile circle and by the end the brake peddle had lost most of it's pressure, still no leaks under the truck. When it got towed the next day there was no stopping power at all. I was fortunate that this did not happen on a highway or more high speed road or i would have been in a very dangerous situation. I'm submitting this complaint because i have seen that there is an investigation of brake failure on some years of these trucks.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
