I was driving south on michigan highway 91 between langston and turk lake between 2:30 and 3:00 am when a deer ran out in front of the car. I was going about 55 mph at the time. I slammed on the brakes but did hit the deer. The car was not seriously damaged and I continued on. I noticed that the brakes were mushy and less effective than normal after the incident. When I took the car in for repairs I was told that one of the brake lines had "burst".

My wife called me at work and said she had no brakes and ran through a stop sign. She was able to go to my job. After looking for the problem, I noticed that the driver's side front wheel well had been rubbing on the front brake line. It had worn itself into the wheel well about a 1/4 inch. It finally cracked the brake line, causing fluid and loss of pressure. I am in the process of ordering a new brake line to install, and have a very hard time finding this part.

My daughter slammed on the brakes at 40mph and the vehicle steering wheel jerked to the right and she felt a drop in the left front side of the car, the car started sliding and hit a curb. When the car came to a stop the front left wheel was broke off. A tow truck took it to the Ford dealership. They said it needed a control arm; hub assembly; tie rod end; tire & wheel; axle; brake line; brake pads & rotor; trans pan and inner tie rod. They concluded it was in an accident and it was her fault and the cost would be $2,387. 77 just for the mechanical only. She purchased the car September of 2002, putting over $8,000. 00 down on the day of purchase with a remaining balance of $6,000. 00. At the time of the accident she had no insurance. I beleive there was a problem with car to cause it to go out of control, and feel Ford needs to address it.
