While braking on a hill, your brakes suddenly lost power—the pedal pushed back and then went to the floor with minimal stopping ability. Your dashboard displayed a "brake system failure—do not exceed 62 mph" warning. The dealership diagnosed a faulty master cylinder as the cause. Repairs will likely involve replacing the master cylinder and possibly bleeding the brake system to restore full braking function.

Your car may suddenly lose the ability to accelerate on the highway even though you're not pressing the brake pedal—the engine revs but the vehicle acts like it's in neutral. Shortly after purchase, your dashboard may display warning lights for Service ESC, Service Brake Assist, and Service Trailer Brake System, along with ABS and Traction Control alerts, indicating that your vehicle's safety systems have malfunctioned. The dealer has identified this as a known issue related to a faulty brake master cylinder. Fixing this will likely require replacing the brake master cylinder.

Your truck is showing multiple warning lights for traction control, ABS, brake service, ESC, and trailer braking, and the adaptive cruise control isn't working. The dealer initially blamed a bad battery and cleared the codes on 9/5/25, but the same warnings have returned. This suggests the underlying issue wasn't resolved by the battery replacement or code clearing.
