| Description of the problem | I purchased this truck new in march 2015. I have had it serviced according to manufacturer recommendations every 5,000 miles. Both front brake lines have recently burst with no warning, as follows: - on 1 may 2019, when the truck had 105,488 miles on it, i pressed the brake pedal to stop at a city street red light. The pedal sunk to the floor causing the truck to enter the intersection amidst oncoming traffic. There was no warning light or sound before or after the failure. Brake fluid gushed onto the ground from the right front brake. A ford service agent diagnosed the cause as a bulge in the right front brake hose where it met the caliper that had burst when i applied the brakes. This incident happened minutes after leaving the said ford service facility at which they had just performed a brake inspection and said all four brakes looked new and the vehicle was in good condition. - on 11 december 2019, when the truck had 113,089 miles on it, while the truck was parked, i put my foot on the brake pedal to start the truck. The brake pedal sank to the floor. Again, there was no warning light or sound before or after the failure. I looked under the truck and saw brake fluid gushing out of the front left brake hose. A ford service agent diagnosed the cause as a rupture in the front left brake hose. |
