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 to fix. My car has 49000 miles. No reason why brakes line fail not a old car always taken care of.

Consumer was driving through mcdonalds when brakes failed, and pedal went to the floor. Consumer looked out of car and saw brake fluid on ground. Consumer walked to garage, and was told brake line was bent which caused it to rust. Brake line was located on driver's side. Consumer was told brake line went from front tire to rear tire. When brake went out the air bag light came on. Light was yellow with picture of air bag deployed. Also, consumer noticed that dash in vehicle on driver's side was separating.
