 Description of the problemMy family and i had headed home from a family vacation and got only 4 miles from my wife's family home when a low break fluid level light came on suddenly. I drove for about 30 seconds before pulling over to the side of road to turn truck off, then on again hoping this might solve what i thought would be an electrical issue. When i turned the truck back on, the sensor was still on. I proceeded to drive about 1/2 mile further when i needed to slow a bit due to turn in road. The break pedal went down to the floorboard. This was less than 90 seconds total after the light came on to begin with. Knowing something was seriously wrong with the truck, we immediately pulled over for good and called a tow truck. Once it got to the dealership, they informed me that the break master cylinder and booster were shot and that ford had already begun a recall on this issue, though had not notified the consumers yet and were not planning to do so until mid july. That was straight from the dealership that my truck was towed to. Knowing this, my father in law and i begun to call other dealers within 100 miles to see if they might have a master cylinder and booster available and of course, they did not as ford had already begun recalling the old from the dealers. This is a serious issue and my family and i could have been severely injured had we not thought and acted quickly. Anybody who has ever driven a vehicle knows that most light sensors warn you of a problem that you have some time to look into. This issue is far more serious. We had seconds to pull over and get safe, or the breaks would have been completely dry of fluid levels and the vehicle hitting something or someone would have been completely out of our control. My vehicles now sits waiting for parts that may or may not be available anytime soon. Dealership just said to throw some break fluid in and go.
