This vehicle, as do all, have dual master cylinders, great, always have a front or rear brake system function in an emergency, but this vehicle also has FLEXIBLE to hard lines from master cylinder to ABS unit. I was driving down our long downhill driveway, pressed on the brake pedal, heard a pop and pedal went to the floor, NO brakes at all and buy the time I got to the emergency brake, which did little to stop the truck, I was out in the road. Glad I wasn't out on a highway doing 50MPH. Examined what had happened and the brake line from the master cylinder to ABS unit split where the flexible line joined the hard line, and when that line breaks, no brakes at all, no backup safety system. Don't know how the flexible lines ever passed safety requirements when manufactured, but they certainly shouldn't be on a truck that's 23 years old and all should be replaced with hard lines.

Had driven approximately 5 miles parked in a lowes parking lot went into the store for about 45min. Only to come out to my truck on fire. The truck was completely off and no one was in it, and there are only 2 sets of keys one in my pocket and the other at home. The vehicle was locked. Prior to driving the 5 miles it had not been driven in 2 days. Ford says it's not there problem and insurance only wants to give us $3,700. My husband is a retired veteran and this whole situation has caused his ptsd to be triggered.

The contact owns a 2000 Ford F-150. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start. The contact depressed the starter solenoid in the engine compartment in an attempt to start the vehicle and the vehicle rolled away in reverse despite being secured in park. Additionally, the contact attempted to stop the vehicle when he crashed into a pole and then a fence. The contact sustained multiple contusions and a bruised rib. A police report was not filed. The vehicle was taken to a collision center but was not inspected to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 102,000.

I was driving on the highway onto the offramp, when I got to the end, I had nearly 100% brake failure. I managed to Dodge a semi by pulling on the shoulder and using the emergency brake. The brake line had corroded from from to back. I looked on the NHTSA website and see a lot of these issues, but since the great mounds of NHTSA seem to believe nearly total brake failure is not an issue, I just replace the part of the line that is leaking. It will very likely fail again soon, but I know that it that was a problem, then NHTSA would do its job and push a recall. Just another case of NHTSA deciding which consumers should be protected under the law and which ones should have their lives put at risk. I got a note from [xxx] at NHTSA claiming they might conduct a study, but given that a 10 month study by NHTSA was insufficient to determine that gasoline spilling out onto the highway may pose a consumer risk, I'm betting this will go no where.
