Problems with 2000 Ford F-150 PARKING BRAKE

Was going to ford dealer for gas tank strap recall due to straps that have poor corrosion protection. as i was enroute to dealer i applied my brakes due to a car running a stop sign and my brakes gave way and i just missed a serious accident. i checked my brake line where the leak was and due to very poor rust the line blow out. i ask the dealer when performing the recall repair could he fix the line and was stated a 600.00 charge. while at the dealer i called ford vp of customer service fred toney who then sent me to mr. fedders. i talked to a person from his office and told them that ford has a big problem on brake lines rusting and because of that i just missed having a serious accident. i ask ford to fix the linings at no charge and take the line for observation. i was told that since the truck is 10 years old and has 200,000miles on it they will not do anything. i stated that ford has no problem repairing the gas straps of a 10 year old truck. anyway had my truck towed to my mechanic and repaired. they replaced the front lines and intermediate brake lines due to poor corrosion. i was told my passenger side line and both rear lines are in great shape, no rust and coated. i told ford about this and said i want a ford rep to inspect my coated brake lines. and my defected line which i kept for proof. i ask ford why some line were coated and some were not. i was told that ford does not coat the lines. we have a serious problem here and could result in many deaths. if the other lines were coated i would have not had this problem. ford just wrote this whole thing off. i expect nhtsa to get back to me as soon as possible. i expect my truck to be inspected and the line that i have kept to be inspected. i am now notifying nhtsa and ford has been notified about this problem and is on record in the event nothing is done and people get killed the parties will have a problem. *kb

Brake failure while driving due to corroded brake line above fuel tank. no warning lights prior to or after failure. *kb

On the interstate traveling 60-65 mph i started feeling a vibration. pulled off to check tires and seen nothing obvious but could smell something hot. pulled into well lit parking garage. found rear drivers side brake locked on to tire. the invoice states 'driver rear parking brake cable was not releasing. had to tear apart the driver rear drum assembly and unhook cable from shoes. had to unload spring tension on parking brake pedal assembly in order to unhook cables. when drivers rear cable removed it was locked up. *jb

Driver applied the parking brake and the parking brake failed. driver took the vehicle to the dealer, and mechanic determined that the parking brake mechanism needed to be replaced. *ak

Purchased my 2000 f-150 from gorno ford in trenton, mi with 30,000 miles on the odometer. in less than 2 years and less than 15, 000 miles the following malfunctions have occurred: front t-rod broke (replaced), front u-joints had to be replaced, parking brake froze up disabling entire system, all brake pads and rotors had to be replaced. this vehicle is not even at 50,000 miles yet.*ak

The truck was parked and the emergency brake set. it rolled down an incline and struck me with the driver side of the truck and knocked me unconcious and crashed into the garage. i really don not remember anything as i was out.*ak
