| Description of the problem | My brake warning light came on when i depressed the brake peddle, after exiting a busy street onto a commercial driveway. The peddle bottomed-out and i had very little braking power. I was traveling at very low speed and i was able to stop by engaging the park brake. The master cylinder/reservoir was near depleted. I was unable to find evidence of brake fluid leak under the hood or under the vehicle. I refilled the master cylinder and operated the vehicle at the "off-street" lot where the malfunction occurred. After several applications of the brakes, the master cylinder was low again. I refilled it and drove home (near by). Again, i had to engage the park brake in order to come to a stop in my driveway. The master cylinder was near empty and again i was unable to find a leak. The vehicle has been towed to the dealership (https://www. Southwayford. Com/). I'm awaiting diagnostic result. Until now, i was unaware of the issues (2013 f 150 & 2014 f 150 recall; current investigations for years 2015 - 2018) surrounding this problem. Meanwhile, i have to pay for related expenses (towing, diagnostics, parts and repair). |
