problem #1

Edge 4-cyl

  • miles
While driving the vehicle, the brake pedal became mushy and the vehicle had a hard time stopping. At this point, not warning light was on the dash. After pulling over, brake pedal testing was performed and the pedal went to the floor as well as the low brake fluid light illuminated. Upon inspection, the brake fluid reservoir was empty and there was a huge puddle of brake fluid beneath the rear passenger wheel. It is obvious that the brake line ruptured while driving. Thankfully, the driver was not at high speeds nor on a highway. This vehicle had recall work performed in 07/2021 where the front brake lines were replaced. However, the recall did not apply to the rear brake lines. The vehicle was towed to a Ford dealership for repairs. Rear passenger side brake line was defective and that the rupture to the brake line was NOT caused by road debris, etc. Ford also declined to cover the repairs. Also, the Ford Service Department confirmed that the part (rear passenger side brake line) was defective and that the rupture to the brake line was NOT caused by road debris, etc. Ford also declined to cover the repairs.
