One of the rear brake lines ruptured causing gradual but complete loss of normal braking. Luckily was able to pull off in to a parking area just as brakes quit working completely. Cause of rupture appears to be rust. Rupture occurred approximately under the driver seat location. No prior warning.

Hit the brakes hard when the person in front of me slammed on his brakes on the expressway and immediately noticed softness in the pedal vastly developing into 98 % loss of braking capacity. Afterwards, noticed leak in one of brake lines running along the left side underbody about midway. Approximately 4-6 months later the same scenario repeated itself with respect to the other brakeline running along the left side. Two weeks ago, the rear brakeline connecting the proportioning valve with the right rear brake hose sprung a leak resulting in loss of braking capabilities. All of these lines ruptured due to rust and or corrosion.

Taurus 6-cyl

  • 85,000 miles
While driving the car at a low speed, deer ran out in front of me and I brake to stop and at that time the car surged and accelerated at a high speed which caused me to lose control of the car and hit a tree head on. I pressed the brakes as hard as I could and the speed would not decelerate. I suffered a large head injury that required 54 staples to close the wound. I spent over a week in the hospital, including an icu stay. This car is dangerous and is causing injuries and possible deaths.
