| Description of the problem | Complete power brake failure. I turned on my engine, heard a loud popping sound, drove forward a few feet and discovered the power brakes inoperable. No warning lights came on before or after the incident. I took the vehicle to the nearest ford dealership --olympic lincoln mercury seattle-- and they repaired it under warranty. They said a poor connection of a pressure line under the fuel rail caused the problem. They said no recalls had been issued. They had no explanation for why the warning lights did not come on. This incident happened approximately 4 months ago. I don't have the paperwork in hand. If needed i can provide the exact date. The date above is a questioned. Olympic lincoln mercury has changed hands, it is now jack carrols lincoln mercury. This sudden loss of brakes without warning could have been disastrous. My son was with me. |
