problem #6

Mar 212006

F-250 8-cyl Diesel

  • Automatic transmission
  • 77,150 miles
: the contact stated while approaching a red light at 15 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle did not stop. After depressing and pumping the brake pedal several times, the vehicle did not slow down and ran the red light incident free. The vehicle was towed to a local independent repair shop for inspection. The mechanic determined the right rear brake line corroded and rusted completely through in pinhole size spots. The mechanic replaced the brake line and the vehicle operated normally. Updated 5/10/2006 - the consumer still has the corroded line in his possession.
