 Description of the problemMy 20 year old daughter was driving through a parking lot and without any prior problems or indication of a brake issue the brake pedal went to the the floor board and the truck barely came to a stop before hitting other vehicles in the parking lot, at this time a warning chime and warning message displaying low brake fluid appeared on the instrument cluster. She happened to be in the ford dealership parking lot picking the truck up from multiple recalls being preform (non brake related). She pulled back in the service lane and asked for assistance, the service writer went and got the technician to inspected it in the service lane, he checked the brake fluid reservoir and it was completely empty causing the truck to loose all brakes. They ended up keeping the vehicle over night and inspected it the next day.. The technician added more brake fluid to the brake reservoir and tested the trucks brakes and the brake master cylinder immediately lost the brake fluid into the brake booster. The technician diagnosed the failure as the brake master cylinder leaking fluid into the brake booster. Now both the brake master cylinder and brake booster need to be replaced at a cost of $1,031. From what i have researched this is a widely know problem with 2013 to 2018 ford f150s equipped with the 3. 5 liter engine like we have. My daughter was extremely fortunate she was driving at slow speeds through a parking lot, if this would of happened traveling a higher rate of speed it could of ended up causing serious injury or death! This matter needs to be addressed in a swift way to prevent anymore drivers being at risk, not only to the occupants of the defective vehicle but those that could be hit by the out of control ford f-150!
