Description of the problem	On 6/01/2014 i was driving my truck when i started to approach an intersection to stop and when i pressed the brake pedal to stop and the truck the brakes would not activate. The brake pedal went all away to the floor, then i realized that either i would have to crash the truck into the wall of the bridge and possibly go over or crash the truck in to other vehicles. However this was a panicky situation in the last second before crashing the truck i applied the emergency brakes. After towing the truck to the garage i took few photos of the front brake line hoses and how close they are to the tire rims. One of those break lines were damage by rubbing against the tire rim. Other break lines photo is showing how close the break lines are to the tire rim. I am very disappointed that ford would install or design the holding brackets that could possibly move close to the tire rim for the brake hoses that close to the tire rim. Also i stop over to a ford dealer in reading pa why they would not address this problem when i have the truck inspected in october of 2013. The supervisor at the desk have no answer to my question. Then i check similar trucks the year was 2008 and the brake line was less than . 250" from the tire rim. When i checked the 2014 e150 it looks that the brake lines location were redesign. So obviously somebody new about this problem however i was never notify about this problem, the bracket that hold the brake lines were never adjusted away from being that close to a tire rim at the inspection. I am disappointed that a government agency would allow the break hoses to be installed about . 250" from the tire rims or moving parts. I would like to be reimbursed for a towing and the repair of the truck.
