| Description of the problem | I was driving down the highway when my brake system alert started going off and brake alerts on dash, a minute later i went to brake and had no brakes, i was able to get off the highway and to a parking lot. I opened up the hood and there was no brake fluid, i bought more fluid and attempted to drive 3 more blocks and all the alerts went off again and no brakes, i got pulled over, checked the fluid and it was gone. There was no signs of leaks and all the fluid went into the booster and engine, causing a thick cloud of smoke i called a tow truck and it was taken to a ford dealer. They said it was not covered because i was just over the warranty period. It is costing me over $800. I am very lucky it wasn't a bad accident. This needs to be addressed. All the fluid went into the booster and into the engine. The ford dealer will have all the information and are repairing it now. I could add it later if needed. |
