1 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 10/15/2004

I own a 2001 motorhome built on a Ford e450 super duty chassis. The motorhome has 35768 miles on it. The VIN#is1fdxe45sxyhb12279. On oct. 15,2004 I returned home from a weekend away and as I pulled into my driveway and stepped on the brake pedal,the pedal went to the floor and the brakes completely failed. The main brake line from the master cylinder to the rear wheels failed. This line is routed inside the frame rail and from the road vibration had chaffed against the frame causing a weak spot. When I stepped on the brake pedal it ruptured. I have had it repaired and also notified Ford motorhome customer assistance center. I have received a reply from them, that seems to me they do not think that this could be a problem, and that is the reason for this complaint.
