| Description of the problem | After driving for on for about an hour i pulled off the highway and my brake peddle went very soft. Brake fluid low warning and my brake light came on. I go the truck stopped (slowly) and checked fluid - virtually empty. I nursed the truck to a service station filled fluid drove about 7 miles slowly to home and light came on again. Pulled in fluid was gone. Found that the fluid was leaking into the booster cylinder. Have to replace the master and booster cylinder. This appears to be an open investigation and it needs to be elevated before someone is seriously hurt. This could have been an accident easily. |
