Description of the problem	Driving down a hill with my family in the truck on a divided highway going approximately 50 mph. I went to apply the brakes for an upcoming stop light and the pedal went almost completely to the floor. At the same time a "brake fluid level low" alarm light turned on in my dash along with the parking brake engaged symbol. I had to quickly shift my transmission to manual and down shift the transmission from 6th gear all the way down to first gear to be able to safely pull off to the side of the road. When i checked, the brake fluid reservoir was below the minimum (min) level indicator. I later filled the reservoir to the max line and tested the brakes. The "brake fluid low level" warning light and the parking brake applied light went away and everything seemed normal. I tested the brakes and they seemed to be working. I then tested the vehicle out in a safe area and within minutes the brakes failed again and the lights came back on. At this time i parked the vehicle and referred to the factory repair manual to diagnose the problem. There were no visible leaks from any of the brake components including the calipers, brake lines or master cylinder. The manual recommended checking to see if any brake fluid was in the brake booster. The brake booster was nearly half full of brake fluid. At this point i replaced the master cylinder and brake booster as recommended by the factory manual. This is a know issue with 2013-2016 ford f-150's and there has been a factory recall on the 2013-2014 f-150's (16v345000). I feel that if i had not put the vehicle in manual and downshifted i would not been able to stop and could have caused an accident at the intersection. Even after the repair of the brake system i do not feel comfortable driving this vehicle.

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?
