I have a 94 Explorer. The wife is complaining about the brakes intermitently not working right. I drove the car for 2 weeks with no problem except i could hear what sounded like a vaccuum leak from under the dash. Could the power booster cause the pedal to go all the way to the floor or would it be the master cylinder?

Thanks for any input......

 

Call the Ford Dealer with your VIN and see if this recall is covered.
