Description of the problem	While on the freeway, a warning message illuminated on the cluster "brake fluid low". Concerned, i checked the braking function a few times slowing from my cruising speed of 78 mph to around 55 mph to test the braking function, and all seemed well. I decided to continue the remaining 15 minutes of my trip since the brakes seemed to be functioning correctly and there was no traffic, as it was 4:30am on a sunday morning, but i proceeded with caution. When exiting the freeway, i decided to brake early in the event there was a problem, but again the braking felt absolutely normal, not even the slightest hint of any brake loss. I then traveled about 11 miles with the cruise control set to 65 mph, there was no need for stopping or slowing at any point during this stretch. Nearing my turn, i again decided it would be best to remain cautious and brake early. It was at this point that i could tell something was wrong, as the brake pedal had very little stopping power as i pressed the brake pedal completely to the floor, only slowing from 65 mph to about 25 mph over a distance approaching a quarter mile. After this, the brakes were completely out at this point. I have experience with moving trucks with no brakes, using only the emergency brake, so i felt confident continuing the short distance to my home using slow speeds (>15 mph), manually shifting the transmission for engine braking and using the emergency brake. I was able to get the vehicle home with no incident. Inspected brake fluid reservoir, found it was empty but found no sign of a leak. I figured the master cylinder leaked internally, which the dealer confirmed. Both parts needed for repair were on a national back-order, unavailable from ford. A little search on google reveals this failure is common on 2013-16 f-150. Dealer located parts from other dealers stock, but vehicle was out of service 10 days.
