“Service traction control” “service stabilitrack” abs light, air bag light, tire pressure sensors all went bad at same time
Have owned the vehicle since new. For a long time I had been "topping off" the brake fluid in the master cylinder. Finally got a message on the dash telling me to "service brakes soon" that would come and go. Eventually made it to our local Chevrolet dealer while the message was displayed for diagnostic purposes. Was told code "C0299" was found regarding brake booster pressure sensor performance. Vehicle was repaired by replacing the master cylinder and hydraulic brake booster. A large amount of brake fluid was found inside the booster upon disassembly. Obviously had been leaking brake fluid from the master cylinder into the brake booster for a long time. Saw that Ford had a recent recall for a similar problem and I thought it was worth reporting. I retained both the master cylinder and brake booster for inspection if needed. Fortunately no incidents occurred due to this part failure before replacement.
