“First related symptom: few years ago brake lines rusted under the hood. Original remedy: I have painted them to protect them from further rust. Current issue: 12/26/2008 brake light switched on during drive to work. 12/26/2008 brake pedal got soft on the way back to home. 12/27/2008 I have checked the brake fluid. It was low. I have bought and add more fluid (car was not moved this day). While fluid was added I started the engine and in park gear I have pumped the brake pedal. It remained soft. Fluid got low again... …”
NHTSA complaint #10253079, filed 2008-12, 130,000 miles“The brake fluid in my 1995 Ford Crown Victoria had to be topped off last week. The red brake light came on indicating the fluid was low. After filling the fluid and driving the car, the pedal felt a little on the soft side, but no light. On my way to work today, I was 2 miles from home and went to apply the brakes. I had no brakes whatsoever. The pedal did have some feel to it, but there was absolutely no brakes. Luckily, I veered off the road avoiding a collision with a car, and had to downshift the car to get it to slow down. …”
NHTSA complaint #10178995, filed 2007-01, 117,200 miles“Brake line rusted through causing rear brakes to fail. The brake line piping should either be made of stainless steel, or coated with a rust preventative, or shielded in some way so water/snow/road salt can not get between it and the frame of the car, causing it to rust through. This isn't rocket science !!!!!!!!”
NHTSA complaint #10149414, filed 2006-02, 138,288 miles“Constant ABS failure caused by sensor and steel ring rust in brake system. Problem causes activation of ABS system without regard to speed, conditions or any braking effectiveness. Abs pump may run at any time the brakes are applied causing increased stopping distance on smooth dry roads.”
NHTSA complaint #10120186, filed 2005-05, 98,007 miles“Ford Crown Victoria rusted oil pan and brake failure. Customer states the brakes failed while backing out of a parking space. The oil pan rusted and was removed and replaced on a maintenance service. Updated 12/12/07 when the brakes failed, fluid was dripping from under the left/center body. The dealer informed the consumer the brake line was enclosed in the frame channel and the body would have to be lifted in order to make the repair. Updated 12/12/07”
