: the contact stated the brake indicator light illuminated. The following day while driving 55mph the brake pedal vibrated and traveled to the floor. The vehicle was towed to the dealership. Upon inspection the dealer determined there was no brake fluid in the reservoir. The defective seals allowed brake fluid to drain from the brake booster and into the master cylinder. The dealer replaced the reservoir, brake booster and master cylinder.
