| Description of the problem | The vehicle is a 2004 ford f-250 super duty i stepped on my brakes and heard a pop. The pedal went to the floor. When i got the vehicle stopped, and investigated, i found that one of the two bolts that mount the master cylinder had broken off. This left the master cylinder hanging by one bent bolt and the brakes were not functioning. Very scary. Low grade bolts? I am the original owner of the truck. Here is an internet posting of other people having similar problems. Http://www. Ford-trucks. Com/forums/690350-broken-master-cylinder-bolts.
