1999 Ford F-250 Sd Brakes Problems

WHILE BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL SLOWLY SANK TO THE FLOOR. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I NOTICED AN EXPANDING POOL OF HYDRAULIC FLUID FORMING UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK, JUST FORWARD OF THE REAR, DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE RIGHT REAR BRAKE LINE HAD CHAFFED A HOLE ON THE FRAME RAIL RESULTING IN A LOSS OF BRAKES. HAD THIS BRAKE LINE FAILED AT ANY OTHER TIME, RATHER JUST BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN DIRE CONSEQUENCES.

BRAKE LINE FAILURE! THE PORTION OF THE BRAKE LINE BETWEEN THE FRAME RAIL AND THE FUEL TANK IS SUBJECT TO EXTREME RUSTING AS DEBRIS IS NOT EASILY CLEARED FROM THIS AREA. (SAND, MUD, WATER, ECT...) THIS AREA BECOMES WEAK, AND THE RUSTING CAUSED A RUPTURE WHEN APPLYING MY BRAKES AT A STOP SIGN IN A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT. THE FRONT BRAKES/REAR BRAKES DO NOT HAVE SEPARATE FLUID RESERVOIRS. THIS CAUSED COMPLETE BRAKING FAILURE. I HAD TO USE THE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE IN A PARKING SPOT! THANK GOD THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN A PARKING LOT RATHER THAN DRIVING 5 BOY SCOUTS AT 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. *TR

APPROACHING INTERSECTION APPLIED BRAKES AND BRAKE PRESSURE FAILED. REAR IMPACTED ANOTHER VEHICLE AND PUSHED THEM INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE. UPON INSPECTION AFTER ACCIDENT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE WAS HANGING AND LEAKING FLUID. HAD TRUCK TOWED BACK TO MY SHOP AND REMOVED ALL 3 LINES TO HAVE REPLACED WITH STAINLESS BRAIDED LINES. UPON INTERSECTION OF THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINES THE CRIMP CLAMPS LOCATED UNDER THE RUBBER COVERING ON RUBBER LINE BEFORE IT TURNS INTO STEEL AND GOES INTO CALIPER. SPOKE WITH BRAKE LINE BUILDER AND STATES THAT IT IS AN EVERYDAY OCCURRENCE. REPLACE FRONT AND REAR LINES ON VEHICLE. THE RUBBER STORES ALL THE MOISTURE,SALT,SAND AND OTHER ELEMENTS. I WAS TICKETED WITH CARELESS DRIVING FROM REAR ENDING THE TRUCK IN FRONT OF ME. I HAVE PICTURES OF THE LINE FOR VISUAL INSPECTION. *TR

APPLIED BRAKE PEDAL, WENT TO FLOOR, NO BRAKES. THE BRAKE LINE RUPTURED. I INVESTIGATED TO SEE WHERE THE LEAK WAS, THE ENTIRE LINE FROM THE UNDERCARRIAGE BACK IS BADLY CORRODED, ALL THE WAY UP TO WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE LINE COMING FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER (ENEN THE COUPLING IS CORRODED). THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A CHEMICAL REACTION OCCURRING BETWEEN METALS. I HAD THIS HAPPEN IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH NO SPEED, USED MY EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP TRUCK, IF THIS HAD BEEN A NORMAL STOP (E.G., A STOP IN TRAFFIC, IT MOST LIKELY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THERE WAS NO WARNING OF THIS PENDING FAILURE.

1999 FORD SD F250 CREW CAB LONG BED - DIESEL 6 SPD MANUAL: FRONT LEFT BREAK LINE CUT BY ENGINE PLASTIC SPLASH SHIELD. VEHICLE HAS 158K MILES NO RUST ON BREAK LINE BUT YOU CAN TELL THAT THE SPLASH SHIELD HAS BEEN RUBBING AGAINST THE METAL LINE. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY NOT ENOUGH CLEARANCE CREATED IN THE SPLASH SHIELD DESIGN. I AM NOT SURE IF THIS APPLIES ONLY TO DIESEL APPLICATIONS DUE TO THE HYDRAULIC POWER ASSIST . THIS ALMOST CREATED SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THE LINE RUPTURED; WE WERE PULLING A 26 FT TRAILER WHICH HAD ELECTRIC BREAKS THAT HELP STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE WE REACHED A MAJOR INTERSECTION. THE TRUCK HAD JUST BEEN IN FOR SERVICE AT THE FORD DEALERSHIP TWO DAYS BEFORE FOR VARIOUS SERVICES. THERE WAS NO WARNINGS THE BREAKS WERE FIRM AND THE THEY WENT WITHG ONE STEP OF LAST STEP ON THE BREAK. BREAK LINE WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED, MODIFIED TO MISS SPLASH SHEILD OR SPLASH SHEILD WILL NEED TO BE MODIFIED TO ASSURE CLREARANCE TO BREAK LINE.

WHILE TOWING A TRAILER (WITH EQUALIZER) THE LEFT REAR EMERGENCY BRAKE CABLE RUBBED AGAINST INSIDE OF LEFT TIRE CAUSING THE BRAKE CABLES RUBBER SLEEVE TO WEAR DOWN TO THE METAL BRAIDING AND THE TIRE TO BE WORN DOWN TO THE SIDEWALL CORDS (CAUGHT BEFORE TIRE RUPTURE) . THERE ISN'T A BRACKET OR RETAINING SYSTEM IN PLACE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. I HAD TO RE-ROUTE THE CABLE SLIGHTLY AND RESTRAIN IT WITH ELECTRICAL CABLE TIES. IT SEEMS THAT THIS CONDITION ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS UNDER A LOAD. THE TIRE AND CABLE NEED TO BE REPLACED, AND ARE STILL ON HAND.*AK
