Town Car 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 160,000 miles
I am reporting a catastrophic brake line safety failure that occurred with my 1996 Lincoln Town car due to corrosion of a flexible span of the brake line to the ABS. Fortunately no injuries or damage occurred as I was driving about 10 mph and stopped using the emergency brake. This looks like a recall safety issue. Also, according the sheehy Ford dealer, the only replacement includes other lines and components at an expense of nearly $500.
