 Description of the problemAs i was travelling down the highway at approximately 65 mph, a low brake fluid notification appeared on my display. Additionally i saw the brake warning light illuminated. When i applied the brakes the pedal went all the way to the floor. I stopped and opened the hood to verify the empty brake fluid reservoir . Once verified i refilled by purchasing a 32 oz bottle of dot4 brake fluid. Once refilled with almost the whole bottle, the brake pressure momentarily returned. However upon returning to the highway, i felt the brake pressure go away again and the low fluid light re-lit within 10 minutes. I then went to the local ford dealership about another 10 miles away. There was very little brake pressure the whole way. I only had about an inch of play and had to apply the brakes several seconds (5-10) earlier than normal. The ford dealership diagnosed the issue and reported the following "tech check on customer concern, brake fluid reservor empty, put vehicle on hoist check for external leaks , no external leaks , remove brake master cylinder and found all brake fluid leak into brake booster, brake master cylinder leaking into brake booster, need to replace brake master cylinder, and brake booster that is contaminated with brake fluid"
