That's terrible!! What year was the car and what part of the country?

The brake line on our 2001 Durango rusted through due to road salt. The line broke and I had two pumps before the reservoir was empty. Fortunately, I was going slow and the parking brake worked.

Just a quick search;
2013—2019 Ford FusionŽ and EdgeŽ — Front Brake Hose Recall
That's a lot of years,you would think after a year or two they would know they(FORD) had a problem. Bob hope everyone recovers well.
