Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The car is a 1997 ford expedition. the front to rear brake line corroded and failed. this happened coasting into my driveway. even though it is a split system the braking left was minimal. the partition between the front chamber and the back didn't seem to leave enough fluid in the front chamber to allow effective remaining braking. not to mention the brake line corroding through in less than 8 years. i had the brake line replaced but did not retain the old brake line. the cost was $623.04. *ak
