What owners wrote
When brakes are just touched, they will continue to go to floor by themselves thereby stopping on a dime, contents and people being thrown forward. We have had ford dealer check and they "think" it may be master cylinder or vacuum problem ,but can't reproduce problem, thereby can't fix. This is a potentially very dangerous but inconsistent problem!
Tl*the contact owns a 1994 ford thunderbird. While driving approximately 10 MPH pressure was applied to the brake pedal but the vehicle would not stop until he coasted onto the emergency lane. Upon examination, he noticed that there was no rubber coating over the steel brake lines which LED to severe rusting. The vehicle was not taken to be examined for the cause of failure and was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 197,000.
