| Description of the problem | Brakes worked fine upon arriving at store. Upon leaving parking lot as i approached street, i applied brakes to learn that the vehicle had no brakes. I pressed the brakes very hard and was able to slowly stop. I was probably traveling at less than 5-10 mph leaving parking. I checked brake fluid and any engine codes, all were normal. I proceeded to the house carefully allowing for maximum distance. By pressing very hard on brake pedal, i was able gradually come to a stop. On monday, 11/19/2007, i took the vehicle to the local ford dealership. The vehicle this morning had a check engine light visible. The trouble was quickly diagnose by service mechanic as a broken vacuum line behind the engine. The small country dealership related that they replaced the same line on a similar vehicle the week before. The dealership was in southeast georgia and the nearest part was in memphis, tn and would take 2 days to arrive. Plus, the manifold and other parts had to be removed to get to line. It took some 6 hours of labor to replace. The parts and labor was $767. 80 and the rental car was $112. 19. The service on the vehicle was completed in the afternoon of 11/21/2007. The mileage on the truck was 43996 miles when taken in for service. |
