Description of the problem | Ford motor company has recalled 1995 windstar for "right front brake line corrosion." both rear brake lines failed on our windstar, vin [xxx], on march 29, 2006 while approaching a stop sign. When i depressed the brake pedal, there was a small shudder and then the pedal went to the floor. Fortunately we live in a rural area, and although i proceeded through the stop sign without stopping, i did not collide with anything, and was able to stop the vehicle using the hand brake. The ford dealership has told me that the rear brake lines failed, and that this is not covered by the current ford recall. *jb updated 07/16/2012 *js information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.
