Brake Master cylinder. The brakes lose all pressure and do not stop the truck all of a sudden. This is an open recall on many of these trucks but apparently my specific truck isnât included in this. Because it just happened we are looking for the parts to fix this. Although itâs to the tune of over $1,000. There are no warnings, no lights nothing.
