Worst case?
Fatal crash.
yes and you could DIE!
I've had this problem on my 01 Escape and had to have the front brake hose replaced. According to the mechanic, Ford has had a lot of problems with these hoses. I'm replacing the rear hose tomorrow.
You either have a bad brake caliper or the brake hose is bad.
The most common cause is failure of the Master Cylinder. Leaking wheel cylinders & calibers is another cause. Of course worn brake pads or shoes can cause defective brakes. Lastly would be a broken brake line hose.
The hose that your brake fluid flows through when u mash the brakes
How do you change front brake hose on a 1997 lincoln
Definately
Try Changing the Brake Hose. They Rot On The Inside And Restrict The Flow Of Brake Fluid Back To The Master Cylinder. GOOD LUCK
A defective brake hose must be replaced. There is no way to fix it.
1. Remove the brake hose to caliper bolt from the brake caliper. 2. Remove the brake hose from the brake caliper. 3. Remove and discard the 2 copper brake hose gaskets. These gaskets may be stuck to the brake caliper and/or the brake hose end. 4. Cap or plug the opening in the brake caliper and the brake hose to prevent fluid loss and contamination. 5. Remove the 2 brake caliper pin bolts. Remove the park brake cable from the caliper. 6. Remove the brake caliper from the brake caliper bracket.
A leaking radiator hose would NOT cause this to happen, you have 2 problems with this vehicle.
Yes. I have seen many brake hoses cause a brake caliper or wheel cylinder to not be able to release. The inside lining of the hose cracks loose and acts like a check valve, it lets fluid in but not out.
