| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 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. after getting the car to 5 or so mph, i shifted into reverse to stop the car, then park. the red brake light never came on and i had no warning of the failed brakes. after inspection, i found both brake lines to be rusted out on the drivers side frame rail. all brake lines on the car were inspected and are extremely rusty. the car is inoperable and has not been repaired as of yet. *jb |
