My 2023 Bronco Wildtrack brakes just gave out while pulling into the garage. Slowed down as normal but then when I attempted to stop, the brakes let out this loud hissing sound and then would not respond. Had my foot all the way to the the floor and it still wouldn’t respond. Ended up going through the back of the garage while pumping the breaks before it finally stopping.

any obvious signs of brake fluid leaks?

Yes, noticed a hissing sound (similar to a school bus’ brakes) earlier this morning when pressing the brakes but assumed it was just because I don’t drive it very often. Just hit 1000 miles.

They are electric (actuated) breaks and if they blew a hydraulic line you'd know because you would have brake fluid all over your driveway/garage floor.

I've been in some harry situations both on and off road...I can't imagine losing my brakes.. I'd probably be dead.

So I'm thankful it happened in your garage. Let us know what you find out so we can all be on the lookout.

Hi there! Will you send us a message with your VIN and your local Ford dealer? I can look into things on my end.
