| Description of the problem | Drove truck to airport on 6/9, all was well. On 6/14 we returned to our truck. Upon backing out of parking space i tried to apply the brakes and had to press the pedal to the floor. Heard a warning chime and a dashboard warning appeared stating brake fluid was low. Checked brake fluid reservoir which was almost empty. Limped to 7/11 while manually downshifting and added two bottles of fluid. Brake functionality was restored for about ten minutes and then experienced the same failure and warnings as before while driving 30mph and not applying the brakes too often. This all happened after 11pm and the roads were empty. Added more fluid this morning and took it to the dealership where i learned about the recent recall. Should have the truck back tomorrow. Very fortunate not to have had this problem while driving from ca to va last month. |
