I have as 2001 Ford Escape xls that all four brake lines are cracked about 3/4 of the way through, making it almost eminent that they are going to rupture within a few weeks, days even. I understand one brake line going out once in a while, but with only 126,000 I find it unbelievable that all four lines could be like this. It makes me wonder just how many Ford's on the road are just about ready to loose their brake function. Sounds like a serious safety issue to me. I haven't replaced any of the lines yet, because nobody carries the part. Ford told me to go to the local dealer, already did and no part. Something is very wrong here. This is my complaint.

Vehicle was stopped with engine running transmission in d with foot on brake. Brake pedal unexpectedly pushed to floor and vehicle moved forward. The problem was the right rear rubber brake hose burst. Not yet repaired.

Vehicle had a sound when being driven. Consumer took the vehicle to dealer to see where the sound was coming from. Dealer discovered that front wheel bearings, brakes, and rotors needed to be replaced.
