SERVICE BRAKES

BRAKE FLUID IS LEAKING OUT OF THE MASTER CYLENDER AND INTO THE BRAKE BOOSTER. CAUSING LOW BRAKE FLUID IN THE RESIVORE. AND RESULTING IN NO BRAKES. THERE ARE RECALLS FOR THIS ISSUE WITH THE 2013 MODLES. THIS SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THE 2010 MODLES.

SERVICE BRAKES

Leaving my driveway today, the 2010 Ford F-150 suddenly indicated a brake fluid level low message and the brake warning indicator turned on. The brake pedal, which was firm about a minute before, suddenly depressed to floor and the truck was stopped only with great difficulty. The sudden change in braking performance would probably have caused an accident if I had been driving in traffic. I took the truck to a mechanic who refilled the master cylinder and bled the brakes. I left the mechanic and pulled out. The brakes were fine leaving the lot. About 1/4 mile later, the brake warning came on and the brakes became spongy. I immediately returned to the mechanic and was informed that the brake master cylinder was draining into the booster. Apparently this is a recall item on later F-150s but it does not appear to include the 2010.

am concerned the 6r80 transmission has had problems with the lead frame.it has been acting up where causes not to go in traffic. Seen that my truck has numerous tsb & recalls for this trans.made at the Dearborn plant for f150 oct.11 2011 through feb 27 2012.see the multiple technical service bulletins for 6r80 16n02,19s07, nhsta 16v248000 & safety recall 16s19 powertrain control module programming. I believe this should also be also extended to cover my transmission.it is a safety issue also.
