I WAS DOING A LEFT TURN ON A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN MY FORD EXPEDITION 2000 08/16/2010 AND THE TRUCK JUST DIED AND THE CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST CRASH BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE CONTROL OF THE TRUCK ANY MORE . AND THE REASON I CONCERN IS BECAUSE THIS HAPPEN EVERY TIME THE TRUCK HAVE A 1/4 TANK OF FUEL AND I TAKE THE TRUCK FOR SERVICE TO THE DEALER AND RUN A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANY THING ...... BUT I THINK IS A DISSING ISSUE IN THE POSITION OF THE FUEL PUMP IN THE TANK ANY WAYS I AM NOT A MECHANIC; I JUST CONCERN ABOUT SAFETY ABOUT THE PERSON BEHIND ME WAS HURT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING 65 MPH ON THE FLORIDA TURNPIKE WHEN I HEARD A LOUD BANG FROM THE BACK OF MY 2000 FORD EXPEDITION. I LOOKED IN THE REARVIEW MIRROR TO SEE A TIRES ROLLING AND BEING TOSSED DOWN THE TURNPIKE WITH CARS TRYING TO DODGE THE TIRE. I THOUGHT I HAD JUST ROLLED OVER THE TIRE BUT WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND NOTICED THE TIRE WAS GONE AND THE WINCH CABLE WAS BROKEN. LUCKILY NOBODY SEEMED TO GET HIT BY THE TIRE BUT I CAN'T BE SURE. *TR

I OWN A 2000 MY FORD EXPEDITION XLT. ON JULY 4, 2010, I WAS LEAVING MY HOUSE AND DRIVING DOWN THE STREET TOWARDS AN INTERSECTION WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. UPON PLACEMENT OF MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE PEDAL, VIRTUALLY ALL BRAKING POWER WAS LOST FORCING ME TO QUICKLY APPLY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO AVOID CROSSING AN INTERSECTION. I THEN TURNED THE VEHICLE AROUND AND DROVE BACK TO MY HOUSE AND PARKED IT UNTIL IT COULD BE TOWED. ON JULY 6, 2010, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE LOCAL FORD DEALERSHIP. LATER THAT SAME DAY THE FORD MECHANIC CONTACTED ME AND SAID THAT THE MAIN SUPPLY LINE FOR THE REAR BRAKES HAD RUSTED CAUSING A LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. ONCE THE FAILURE ORIGINALLY OCCURRED, IT DID NOT CORRECT ITSELF UNTIL FORD REPLACED THE BRAKE SYSTEM SUPPLY LINE. THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS CATASTROPHIC IN THAT IT CAUSED A NEAR LOSS OF ALL BRAKING CAPACITY. HAD A VEHICLE BEEN IN THE INTERSECTION OR HAD I FAILED TO RAPIDLY ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE, THE INCIDENT WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT IN WHICH PROPERTY DAMAGE AND OR THE LOSS OF LIFE COULD HAVE OCCURRED. SPECIFICALLY, I WAS VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. THE FORD DEALERSHIP DID SHOW ME THE REMOVED SECTION OF BRAKE SUPPLY LINE. IT WAS HEAVILY RUSTED IN TWO SECTIONS, ALTHOUGH I AM UNCERTAIN WHICH SECTION WAS ACTUALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR THE BRAKE FAILURE. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT THE FORD DEALER STILL HAS POSSESSION OF THE FAILED BRAKE FLUID SUPPLY LINE. *TR
