The metal brake line from the master cylinder up to the front wheels has a hole, which was worn into from rubbing against the moving steering wheel shaft. Causing a loss of braking fluid. Consumer states that this line should have been secured to the firewall, to prevent situations like this from occuring. Also the brake line was replaced by the dealer under warranty.

The brake line broke where it is retained by a clip. No previous rough driving or abuse.
The clutch hose hydraulic line the runs from the master cylinder to the clutch slave cylinder melted across the exhaust manifold.
Catastrophic brake failure when metal brake line broke completely. No warning. Brake was fine then next depression of pedal, pedal went to floor with no braking. No traffic on straight road allowed me to stop ok. Otherwise this could very well have been a fatal accident. More details if you are interested.
Due defective brake lines, which dealer replaced twice, steering wheel shakes vigorously. This may cause driver to lose control and could result in a crash. Also problems with the transmission and engine. Please provide further information.
Reference voq #854737 where my supplied information was incorrectly recorded. While driving and when braking, the vehicle pulls left (into oncoming traffic) the severity of the pull to the left is directly related to the measure of the braking and vehicle speed (e. G. Low speed with light braking = moderate pull to the left and higher speeds with firm braking = extreme pull to the left). The Ford dealer has turned all the rotors, replaced a brake line, replaced the pads, realigned the vehicle at least three times, replaced the camber bushings twice, once with Ford factory parts and the last time with after market parts (non-Ford adjustable camber bushings). Reference electronic dealer service report, edsr#17584 generated 05/11/99 by the master technician at joe cooper Ford.
While traveling at highway speed left front tire tread came completely off. As a result the brake line broke.
Hydraulic brake line was not secure to frame, causing it to rupture, resulting in loss of brakes.
Mileage is 113,086. Have abs. Brake lines to both rear wheel have rubbed against moving part of shock absorbers. The rubber covering of brake lines is worn off completely and part of metal is worn. Ford double insulated the brake lines so it is clear they know the lines were rubbing agains the shock absorbers. If these lines were to wear through and fluid sprayed out, I dread to think what would happen. To repeat: rear brake lines are rubbing agains part of shock absorbers, thus wearing away all the insulation on line.
Both rear brakes line contact with rear shock absorber, cause brak lines to wear and leak.
