| As i drove my ford escape 2005 down a hill the brake line on the passenger side ruptured, causing the brake fluid to leak which quickly resulted in no braking ability. i managed to stop my car by downshifting into first gear and using the emergency brake. i was not able to control the car before going through a stop sign, fortunately no cars or pedestrians were in the way. the mechanic who fixed the problem replaced the brake line on both the driver and passenger sides, as the driver side brake line was close to rupturing, too. | |||
