I was reading in a magazine about Ford having a problem with the brake master cylinder failing, leaking into the booster, causing brake failure. This happened to me a few weeks ago. I first felt my brake pedal getting weak. Then I saw a warning light. I first thought maybe my emergency brake was applied?? it was not. Then I noticed I had very little brake?? what to do?? I decided to try to get back to my job, where we have a service department. I drove about 50 miles with no brakes!!! just took my time, being careful. About $800 later I'm on the road again!!!.

Stopping at a red light and brake pedal went almost to floor. Had vehicle checked by local Ford dealer and they could find nothing wrong. Vehicle brakes have to be pumped a couple of times every time they are used. Took it back to Ford dealer. They say it is master cylinder. Ordered one over a week ago. Ford supply is all out and has a national back order which makes it sound as if I am not the only one with the brake problem although I cannot find a recall on it. Dealer is attempting to find a master cylinder through another source.
