Brake Failure
My 2012 F350 6.7l is back at Ford. The vacuum pump failed early 2017. Ford replaced the vac pump. Mid July 2017 while going across country towing my 9k trailer, the brake master cylinder along with the booster completely failed causing a full loss of braking ability. Luckily I was going very slow when it failed and was able to stop everything with the e-brake with out killing my family or anybody else. Ford replaced booster, master, vac lines and degassing reservoir. Fast forward to last week. The vacuum pump failed again with all the vac lines saturated with oil... Ford just told me all the parts previously replaced have to be replaced again. Additionally, the oil has made its way into the cooling system too so that entire system needs to be cleaned and assessed for damage.
Has anyone else out there had a similar problem or did I get the Lemon on the lot??

Find the paperwork for when you had the vacuum pump replaced. Ford parts installed by a dealer carry a 2yr unlimited mile warranty. If your within 2 years the pump is warranty and all related damage should be covered as well. And how did oil get in the cooling system?
