3 Brake Drum Wheel Cylinder problem

Failure Date: 04/13/2016

I went to operate the vehicle today and brake pedal went all the way to the floor. A warning came on that brake fluid was low. I opened the hood and there was no fluid in the reservoir. I filled it up and started driving. Within two minutes the warning came on again. I again opened the hood and the reservoir was empty. There is no sign of a leak under the truck. Once again I filled it up and within a minute or two the low fluid message came on again and the pedal would go to the floor. I continued to drive it to the local Ford dealer very slowly, using the e-brake and gearing to stop as needed. Dealer could find no sign of a leak and thinks it may be the fluid bypassing the master brake cylinder and collecting in the brake booster. This is a very dangerous condition and I see I am not the only 2014 F-150 with defective brakes. This is a 5000 pound plus vehicle, one would expect it to have a very reliable braking system. .
