2-piece hydraulic brake hose on front wheel on driver's side separated due to corrosion of metal joint that joins 2-piece hose. Complete and excessive corrosion makes it obvious other line will probably fail. Joint is in rubber boot that obviously hold moisture. A very bad design.

My f-150 has had noisy brakes that vibrate, wear excessively fast and stop poorly since my father bought the truck new, I have replaced pads, rotors17 times,and calipers twice, my father was involved in an accident because of them but ford refuses to admit there is a problem. My rear fuel tank sends all the fuel to the front tank while the engine is running, until the front tank is full, then it spills all over the ground causing a fire hazard. Ford admitted that some 1993 trucks had this problem and recalled some of them but said the problem was corrected and my 1994 truck can't have that problem but everyone I know with a 1994 f-150 has this problem, and when I checked on fordtrucks.com, many 1994 f150 owners have the same problem, also many 1994 f150 owners also had my same airbag problem. When will you guys pressure ford into fixing these serious safety issues.

I have had problems with the brake system until I had them replaced in may 1996, now I have just been informed that the same problem is occuring with the rotors warping and the pads wearing, this is the third set of brake pads and will be the second set of rotors, there is no warning I took my truck in to have the tires rotated and they said the rotors can not even be turned, they are under spec and the pads are not down to metal but need to be replaced. I have owned alot of cars and I have never let the brakes go until I needed to turn rotors much less replace them, twice. I don't understand why the brake system is not recalled as a safety recall. Please let me know if I have a recourse for the second replacement of these rotors.

Steering power pump pipes were replaced at 42ooo miles, the power steering hydraulic tubing rusted throuth and leaked causing power steering fluid to leak out.
