My wife started driving the vehicle and a short time later a "brake fluid low" warning came on. She applied the brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor and braking action was severely compromised. In order to get the vehicle off the road to a safe place, she had to continue to drive the vehicle a short distance, in order to bring the vehicle to a stop once in a parking lot she had to put the truck in tow haul mode (engine braking) and use the emergency/parking brake.
