I was taking my child to school for a field trip. We were in the parking lot for approx. 20 min with the engine off. Then out of nowhere a big gush of gray/black smoke appeared. I immediately got myself and children out of the car and proceeded to call 911. At this time the 2 bus drivers came and ask me to pop my hood assuming it was my car running hot when they lifted the hood there was flames. They got a fire ext. And put it out. I proceeded to find a way to get home and get my other children to school. I then called my mechanic and asked him to meet me at my truck. He inspected it and determined the sw asy and brake fluid lines had burned and melted . He talked to a couple of his friends whom own junkyards and they told him in the last year they have had 10 or so Expeditions come in burned from the same problem. I called Ford and have had no response. I believe this is a man. Defect that needs to be looked into. Any help or comments would be appreciated because it could have turned out worse than what it did if I didn't have bus drivers there to help.

While pulling out of the driveway the brake pedal went to the floor. This caused loss of brake power. Consumer was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and had the vehicle towed to the dealer for inspection. Mechanic determined that the brake line corroded and needed to be replaced.

While approaching a utility crew flaman I applied the brakes. It slowed and then almost immediately thereafter the brakes were no longer available. I ran past the flagman flashing my lights, pumping the brakes as well as the emergency brakes and honking the horn. After running three cars off the road and checking on my four year old in the backseat we came to a stop. The drivers side brake line had rusted in two at the metal/rubber hose junction. I replaced both left and right hoses. The passenger side on visual inspection looked o. K. Did I mention we were pulling a flat bed trailer and going down hill with no shoulders, only drop offs!.
