Upon examining my recently purchased 1999 Taurus, I discovered that the brake lines in the rear location near the left wheel are severely rusted repeat rusted. It appears that a brake line failure could occure at any time.

Unsure about actual mileage or amount of property damage; brake pedal went to the floor when attempted to stop and crashed into the car in front which in turn crashed into another car; my insurance CO. Field expert engineer opines that the crash caused the radiator to put a crimp in the brake line which is totally contrary to what happened. I swear under penalty of perjury that when I depressed the brake pedal it went to the floor and I hit the car in front of me.

Two weeks ago the right rear metal brake line busted because of it rusting through. The line was replaced and a second metalic line busted because of the same reason. This line is a main line which runs from the master cylinder to the rear of the car . A third line is also ready to rust through that line also runs from the master cylinder to the rear of the car. The car has no other rust just the three brake lines . They are only rusted in a certain area not the whole length , around two to three foot from the rear. When the lines busted there was hardly any brakes just 1 front brake worked this is the second time this has happened the car is a 96 with 109000 miles and no other rust.

While going to work both brakes lines on drivers side went bad after checking with mechanic. Was told both lines was rotted away. I do have to order parts from Ford. Which is going to cause me 265. 00 to fix . My car has 49000 miles. No reason why brakes line fail not a old car always taken care of.
