While driving, my brakes failed. I was at a low rate of speed and was able to stop if pressing pedal all the way to floor. There was no warning prior to incident. When i was able to put car in park i got a brake fluid low warning. After inspection, brake line burst and brake fluid was visible on front passenger wheel and car.

On Tuesday, March 1 2022, as I was attempting to stop at a stop sign, I noticed loss of pressure on the brake pedal. As I accelerated and applied my brakes again there was no pressure feedback on the brake pedal and my vehicle took a prolonged time and distance to stop. After a few minutes, a warning message appeared on the dashboard to let me know of low brake fluid. After I got the vehicle home, I noticed a lot of brake fluid in the driver's front wheel well. Upon further inspection, a rupture in the line at the metal crimping was evident. The event happened as I was coming home from ice hockey practice with my 5 yr old and 8 yr old in the vehicle. The roadway that the failure occurred at was a service road to I-35E in Farmers Branch which at that time of day has moderate traffic moving at high speed. Had the brake blown out a few minutes later, I would have been on I-35E with my children. The speed limit on that road is 70 MPH and it was the tail end of rush hour which means a mix of slow traffic and high speed traffic requiring the ability to brake at a moments notice. I still have the faulty brake line in case anyone needs it for inspection.

Front left brake hose had an immediate large leak during driving causing vehicle to lose all braking during driving. There was no warning prior to this or during the failure, no lights on dashboard, brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Placed flashers on, and rolled to a stop. Vehicle needed to be towed. Vehicle is on the way (today August 11) to Apple Ford in Shakopee, MN to be fixed on August 16th.

Collision mitigating braking does not engage the brakes. When a truck suddenly cut me off, the audible and visual warning indicate object in the wat but no braking occurs. Brake pedal does not pump up (as it does when the radar cruise control slows the car). Can reproduce by following turning vehicle too closely.
