| Driving in residential area, about 25 mph. applied brakes, and pedal went all the way to the floor with little of no back pressure. i had just used brakes at a stop sign just minutes before, no indication of any problem. no warnings, lights, buzzers, nothing, just a sudden total loss of brakes, front and rear. upon investigating, found all brake lines on rear of vehicle crumbling with rust. i removed one piece, it broke completely in two different places while taking it out. fuel lines appear to be in like condition. vehicle was purchased used. after i turned off the engine off, then restarted it, the brake warning lights, and abs lights illuminated. this could have had catastrophic results had it happened on the open road. why no previous warnings to a brake problem?*jb | |||

| I have recently had a problem with the same part of the cruise control shutoff switch that has just been issued for the 2000 f-150 pickup. my truck is not a 2000, but it is 1994 f-150. my cruise control would not work then one day my brake lights stopped workihg, so i checked the bulbs thinking they were bad.i found the bulbs were still good, so i checked the fuses.one of the fuses were bad. when i replaced the fuse i was unprepared for the smoke that came rolling out from under the hood of my truck. in a panic, i popped the hood of my truck and pulled the wires out of the switch just in time to see the switch on the front of my master cylinder glowing red hot, and the plastic melting in a smoke cloud of brake fluid. i have just replaced the part and am concerned of the problem reoccurring again if this is a recalled part, i would like to know what i can do to prevent this from happening again. | |||
