Luckily I was stopped, but could just as well have been on expressway in heavy traffic!!! Brakeline ruptured, maybe rusted through in ront of left rear wheel well, pedal wentt o the floor & only had slight amount of brakes. I called ford customer satisfaction, they were less than concerned. See on line others have had similar issue. Seems mor of a problem than they will admit.
