The car is a 1997 Ford Expedition. The front to rear brake line corroded and failed. This happened coasting into my driveway. Even though it is a split system the braking left was minimal. The partition between the front chamber and the back didn't seem to leave enough fluid in the front chamber to allow effective remaining braking. Not to mention the brake line corroding through in less than 8 years. I had the brake line replaced but did not retain the old brake line. The cost was $623. 04.

Consumer stated brake line wore out prematurely, and excessive brake dust was produced.

My wife parked our 2000 Ford Expedition at work around 8:30 a. M. Two hours later it was on fire. After many conversations with marshall mize Ford they told me that the cause of the fire started in the brake system. They said that brake fluid leaked on my manifold and sparked a flame causing my car to burst into flames. I was under the impression that brake fluid was not flammable, especially after sitting for two hours it should not have even been hot enough. My truck was fixed and we have not had any problems with it yet. The fire started in the engine compartment on the left side. The fire was quickly put out causing there to be only $6500 in damage. Parts replaced consist of the main wiring harness, the components of the brake system under the hood, and the cruise control system. If needed we can fax a complete invoice of all parts and labor.
