Was going to ford dealer for gas tank strap recall due to straps that have poor corrosion protection. As I was enroute to dealer I applied my brakes due to a car running a stop sign and my brakes gave way and I just missed a serious accident. I checked my brake line where the leak was and due to very poor rust the line blow out. I ask the dealer when performing the recall repair could he fix the line and was stated a 600.00 charge. While at the dealer I called ford vp of customer service fred toney who then sent me to mr. Fedders. I talked to a person from his office and told them that ford has a big problem on brake lines rusting and because of that I just missed having a serious accident. I ask ford to fix the linings at no charge and take the line for observation. I was told that since the truck is 10 years old and has 200,000miles on it they will not do anything. I stated that ford has no problem repairing the gas straps of a 10 year old truck. Anyway had my truck towed to my mechanic and repaired. They replaced the front lines and intermediate brake lines due to poor corrosion. I was told my passenger side line and both rear lines are in great shape, no rust and coated. I told ford about this and said I want a ford rep to inspect my coated brake lines. And my defected line which I kept for proof. I ask ford why some line were coated and some were not. I was told that ford does not coat the lines. We have a serious problem here and could result in many deaths. If the other lines were coated I would have not had this problem. Ford just wrote this whole thing off. I expect the federal safety agency to get back to me as soon as possible. I expect my truck to be inspected and the line that I have kept to be inspected. I am now notifying the federal safety agency and ford has been notified about this problem and is on record in the event nothing is done and people get killed the parties will have a problem.

Tire blowout or tread separation by model year
What owners say
I have had 2 spark plugs blow out of cylinders, once while driving and once while it was idling in the driveway. The spark plugs were torqued in using a torque wrench, but work loose with time. I have to check the tightness of the plugs every six months or they will loosen up and blow out. I have helicoils put in for the threads, but it is $400 each time it happens.
