1999 FORD F-250 SD — SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:HOSES, LINES/PIPING, AND FITTINGS

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
