Description of the problem | On the evening oif 1/11/20, i went to the parking lot and started my truck and multiple warnings came up on the info center for the brakes - brake system failure max speed 62mph; service trailer brake system; service esc. Check engine light was also illuminated. I turned the truck off, restarted it and received the same message. I was able to slowly drive the truck the three miles to my house with very limited braking capability. When my husband went out to check the truck 15 minutes later, the brakes had returned but the check engine light was still illuminated. I took the vehicle to a local dealer first thing monday morning and was advised today that they diagnosed a premature failure of the master cylinder. This after the software update in the previous recall had been completed approximately two weeks prior. The service adviser noted this has been a common issue after the software update and has been happening across the country. I believe this needs to be a nationwide recall if the current software update is causing the master cylinder to fail at this rate. |
