#1 just using vehicle. #2 brakes became spongy. After stopping vehicle I noticed brake fluid running on ground in front of driver side rear wheel coming from frame rail. It appears brake line is corroded. Vehicle has 100 thousand miles on it, and under carriage is rinsed as needed. A written request has been sent to klaben Ford (kent ohio) request all broken parts.

Driving at rate of 40 mph when I had to suddenly stop from hitting animal on the road. Brake pedal went to floor when pedal was suddenly pressed. Brake line was busted on drivers side underneath the clip holding brake line. Vehicle has not been repaired as of yet.
: the contact stated when the brake pedal was depressed; the brake pedal went to the floor. The vehicle was taken to the local dealership for inspection and repair. The service personnel discovered the brake line was fractured due to corrosion.
I experienced a complete brake line failure and loss of brake use on my 2000 Ford f350 super duty 4x4 pickup. Luckily, the failure occurred while my vehicle was being inspected by the state of new jersey. I had to have it towed to the nearest Ford dealership where they proceeded to bill me extensively for replacing the main brake line.
The brake line had rusted . As a result, the brakes failed. No impact reported. All the other lines including the fuel lines were rust free.
During brake application while driving at any speed vehicle will pull intermittently to right and / or left, more severe at higher speeds. Dealership has examined vehicle nine times, and replaced brake calipers/pads/ lines/ rear spring shackle adjustments, and positive caster. Dealership has been unable to effectively remedy problem ,and informed consumer no more service would be performed on this vehicle. Please provide any additional information / documentation.
My first serious situation occurred when I was pulling a 6000lb tractor. Conditions where good weather clear and outside temp 98. When approaching an area of hwy four lane divided hwy( 2 north 2 south). This area of hwy has several traffic lights spaced about two miles apart from one another. The truck operated as expected on the first three of lights. When I applied the brakes for the fourth time my truck pulled left so hard the cross bar on the steering wheel was straight up and down and I was still headed into the median toward north bound traffic, I released the brake pedal as soon as I went into the grass to regain control, once stopped I checked under my truck for a possible broken brake line, but I seen nothing wrong. I proceeded to the office after checking everything and things seemed ok after the brakes cooled down. During checking the brakes and lines the left front rotor seemed very much hotter than the right front! the truck has been doing this and continues to do this. Southwest Ford in weatherford is the only dealer that has worked on it for this problem. They keep changing the pads and rotors and giving it back. I told them the conditions in witch the truck pulls but they will not load it. They want me to load it and bring it to them!!! I am very frustrated and worried to load it, and drive it. I have done everything they have asked and I guess I will load it too. But this will be the last straw! I had found an old message on the internet from "the carringtons" that had the similar problem with their 99 model and got a 2000 to replace it. They said they had the same problem but not as bad as the 99. If you could help me and possible others, I really think it will save lives!.
