| Description of the problem | With no prior warning symptoms, i started my truck the morning of may 23, 2020 and saw a brake alert message on the dashboard. Brake pedal went all the way to the floor. I immediately called my local ford dealer and (carefully and slowly) drove the truck the 2 miles to the dealer. They informed me that the brake master cylinder had failed, leaking brake fluid into other parts of the braking system. They did not have replacement parts in stock, so i am now awaiting parts shipment before they can complete repairs. I feel very fortunate this happened now, as my wife and i are scheduled to leave on vacation in 10 days, pulling our 9000 lb travel trailer on an extended highway trip. Had this sudden brake failure occurred on the road while pulling an rv, we would quite likely not have lived to tell the tale.*dt |
