Description of the problem | Just after starting the engine the truck was driven out of the driveway and at the first press of the brakes the vehicle was not stopping. After bearing down on the pedal with full force vehicle came to a stop. Brake warning appeared in the digital message center and the abs light came on. I pumped the brakes and a very tight pedal indicated the vacuum assist had failed. I also could hear a hissing sound at the press of the pedal. I restarted the engine and pulled the vacuum line off the booster and the distinct vacuum pop was present. I began removing the booster, i then realized brake fluid had leaked out of the rear of the master cylinder and into the booster. I believe the corrosive properties of the brake fluid ruptured the diaphragm inside the booster. There was about 5 oz. Of fluid inside the booster. I ordered and replaced the booster and the master cylinder. This is too new of a vehicle for a brake system failure. Someone is going to be killed if this issue is not corrected. |
