Consumer Description

Low brake fluid light came on. I pulled off road to think, but since it said "low" brake fluid and not "empty" brake fluid, and since I was already on my way to the dealer for an oil change, I decided to proceed. When ready to go again, brake pedal went all of the way to the floor. Mechanic says the brake fluid is leaking into the power booster. His research found same problem with 2016 F150's that used the same part but was recalled, but Expedition's were not recalled. Required tow truck to take to Ford dealer 1-1/2 hrs from my home. Should have already been a recall or a warning that something could happen since Ford has already experienced this with the F150's.
