Description of the problem	I have a 2001 ford f-150 that i was using to drop my son off at his friend's house. On the way home my brake pedal went to the floor, i was traveling at about 35 mph and i was not able to stop at the intersection like i was supposed to. I did manage to drive home with little to no brakes. When i got home i looked in the brake fluid well and there was no fluid in there. I looked at the ground on the drivers side near the rear tire and i saw fluid dripping on the ground. I got under the truck and was surprised to see a lot of brake fluid on the side of gas tank and dripping from the frame. This is a very unusual and dangerous situation. Needless to say, i no longer have the use of my vehicle. I recently took the truck in for recall service to have the gas tank support straps replaced, is possible that the brake line was compromised during the recall work? I have owned many vehicles and this is the first time i have seen something like this. I contacted ford about this unusual incident and they stated that because my truck is no longer under warranty that i should take it to a dealer and have it repaired. The larger issue is that something like this should never happen, warranty or no. What if i had been traveling at a faster rate of speed or entering a busy intersection or a nervous driver. This incident could have ended very badly. The brake lines should not rupture. My concern is whether these was an isolated incident, or have other brake lines ruptured causing accidents and have not been reported.
