Description of the problem | 2015 ford edge with 45, 250 miles. I was driving along and went to apply my brakes. The pedal went to the floor. I was approaching a red light. I pumped and pumber to slow down. At that time, the brake light and the low brake fluid lights came on. I had no brakes. I had to pull the electric barking brake up to stop. I had to travel a little ways more and make a u-turn in the middle of a 4 lane busy , major highway, in order to get to a shopping center parking lot. There again no brakes - had to use my electric parking. I was so afraid. I am just thankful i thought of the hand brake, which almost threw us in the windsheild. It was such a hard stop. I called roadside assistance to get the car and tow the dealership. They have verified, brake line busted on my car. It has a split in it. I purchased the car new from the dealership. I believe this is a very serious matter. Brake line busted on something with that low of miles. |
