I had a brake failure identical to that of what has already been reported, within the last 6 months. While driving on highway, i went to apply brakes and pedal went all the way to floorboard & i had little to no brake control. Refilled reservoir but it was empty within 30 minutes. All fluid drained out of master cylinder and in to brake booster. Had to have master cylinder replaced, and have not had problem since.

Brakes suddenly failed on the highway, had the vehicle towed back to a ford service center and it turned out that the brake booster component flooded with brake fluid which is a mayor failure and is never supposed to happen, even the service manager at sawgrass ford agrees with that assessment. Doing some research online i found out this component has failed around the country and ford has done nothing to improve…
