Reoccurring brake fluid system. Have had it replaced 3 times already. I have lost three ability to stop my vehicle in may and ended up crashing into a tree while backing up. Constant break fluid spraying on the tires and rim of the front passenger area. Damage to the tail gate area from the tree collision has caused me to have wiring system issues with my back tail light constantly blowing the bulb. Had this repaired twice from joe hudson collision and then soundly by lincoln dealership in orange park fl.

Pressed the gas after sitting a stop light and got no power. Shifting into neutral and back into drive again seemed to help, until I got on the interstate 5 minutes later and noticed that my speedometer had stopped working and the message center was flashing the wrench symbol along with a "--miles to e fuel level low" message. There was half a tank of gas in tank.
