Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Rear steel brake lines failed during a hard stop. both steel lines are rust so bad that it's hard to tell which line failed. the failed section is located about one foot in front of right rear tire. but the rest of the lines appears very rusted. both steel lines will be replaced. ford had no repair program for this issue. my 1965 ford still has the factory lines which are still in great condition.! this 1995 mercury brake system was flushed every two years. the underside of the car was washed after snow storms to remove salt. every spring a heavy wash to remove salt, dirt etc. lines failed from the outside in.*ak
