Description of the problem | Was driving home from work when i realized my brake had decompressed and went all the way to the floorboard. Got home and my husband noticed i had brake fluid all over underneath my vehicle. My left passenger side brake line burst while driving, causing the brake pedal to depress all the way to floor and making the vehicle extremely difficult to stop (by the time i made it home it was hardly stopping at all). Ford would not use my warranty to replace they said i hit something. On (12/20/2019) driving home from work this time the front passenger brake line seems to have burst. (again while applying the brake this time at a stop light on a city street) and again causing the pedal to go all the way to the floor and making the car extremely difficult to stop. This is a hazardous situation and very concerning that it has occurred to with my brake lines twice within the past year, and all while the car was only 3 years old and had only 45,000 miles. This is a problem i believe ford needs to address, from what i have gathered online this is an issue quite a few others have faced. |
