Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2003 Ford F-250

Brake lines completely rusted through causing brake failure while driving. This is the seconded time.

Truck is lightly used. Today I hooked up the horse trailer to haul horses and when I was headed down the driveway and used the brakes they completely failed. I engaged the tow mode on the transmission and used the ebrake to stop. There was no warning just brake pedal to the floor failure. If this failure occurred 2 minutes later I would of been at highway speed. There was a large leak on the main brake line above the rear fuel tank. I inspected the main brake line and every place the brake line is attached to the frame there is significant corrosion of the brake line . 2 inches from the attachment the brake line looks brand new. Looks like the engineers used a dissimilar metal and caused a corrosion cell. 10 year old truck and I am spending $800. 00 to replace the entire main brake line. This type of failure on a $50,000 truck should not be happening. Dealer says he has never seen this before. This is a serious safety failure.

The rear brake lines have rusted out on my 2003 Ford f250 - we received a letter from the ntsb asking if our brake lines had rusted out - they just did last night and almost caused an accident. This is incredible that a 7 1/2 year old vehicle lost it's brakes already.

Brakes line from master cyclinder to rear brakes failed causing the loss of brake fluid and all braking capabilities. Power steering cable was apparently chaffing brake line, causing the brake line to rust, and over time, fail. Truck has less than 18,000 miles, with very light and infrequent usage.
