While driving at 35mph, the low brake fluid warning light came on. Within 200M while trying to slow, brake pedal went to the floor with complete and total loss of braking ability. While using emergency brake, large puff of smoke came from exhaust

The vehicle will not stop completely sometimes. Other times, the brake pedal is all the way to the floor before the vehicle will cease movement. No matter how great or how little pressure is applied to the brakes the pedal will go all the way to the floor.

Purchased vehicle about 2 months ago. This morning I was slowing the vehicle at a stop light. Once pressure was applied to the pedal it would continue to progress all the way to the floor. Checked brake fluid and it was full. Problem persisted so vehicle was taken to the dealership.

Sudden and complete failure of the braking system. The pedal went to the floor and continuos pumping did very little to stop the vehicle. It was immediately taken to sarasota Ford in sarasoat fl.

Engine stalls at stop (after letting up on brake and auto start stop re-starts the engine) followed by "hill start assist not available" error flashes along with other brake related errors; vehicle engine won't turn over/start unless transmission is put back into park. Upon restarting all engine error/fault messages are cleared and things seem back to normal. Today was the second time this has happened. The first time was about 7 days ago. This is dangerous should it happen entering an intersection. I reported the problem to livermore Ford and they said that since it is intermittent without a check engine light on they cannot diagnose it.
