| Description of the problem | While driving i recieved a brake fluid level low warning light. Proceded cautiously to work approximately a mile away without any issue. Looked at the reservoir and found it to be nearly empty. After the truck sat i went to leave work hoping to make it to a parts store to get brake fluid. Got in to start it and the pedal went completely to the floor with no resistance. Hitched a ride to get fluid and topped it off. I got back in and headed down the road making it no more than a mile before i completely lost my brakes. After service this was apparently caused by a faulty seal in the master cylinder pumping all the brake fluid into the booster. A problem ford has had with previous model years and recalled. This type of failure leaves no evidence of a leak. This was a sudden and complete loss of the ability to stop my vehicle except for the parking break. Dangerous to say the least. |
