| Description of the problem | As i was leaving a campground brakes failed without any warning. The exit from campground was downhill and could have been disastrous. Drove next door to rv service and they checked it out and said it had to be towed to a ford dealer. The brake lines had broke. They were rusted from the outside. Ford dealer replaced 3 lines. Ford would not cover the bill of 458. 56 because it was 2 months beyond warranty. The motorhome was never in snow,ice or salt water. There must have been a problem from new with the lines. |
