| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | Was sitting at a restaurant drive thru with foot on the brake when the brake pedal suddenly went to the floor and the truck started moving. I was able to get the vehicle home and back to the ford dealership the next morning very carefully and by pumping the brakes to get the vehicle to stop. Was told that the brake line had ruptured. Luckily, i was not towing my 6000 pound boat or going downhill at the time of the failure. I asked if this was common since brake lines are not an item that are routinely inspected or replaced on a normal 17 point inspection. I was told that it was uncommon. I googled the problem and discovered that several other ford f150 owners of various model years had experienced the same issue. Luckily, there have been no reports of deaths or severe injury, but i am reporting this to hopefully prevent a death from occurring. |
