    The vehicle will break on its own, without any warning. This has occurred several times over the past few years. It usually occurs when traveling at lower speeds. 40 mph and lower. I have not had any incidents on the freeway, just on the highway and mountain roads. No codes come up. The stability control light may come on but it goes away.

    Brakes did not work without warning as ford f150 2010 pulled from the driveway. Pedal was depressed to the floor without any brake function or warning light. Stopped the truck with parking brake. Truck had to be towed to the dealership. Brakes worked hours before in traffic. The dealership exchanged the master brake cylinder and the brake booster, in which the brake cylinder leaked fluid into.
