Brakes Gone Wild: A Tangle of Parts
Ah, the goodness of a simple brake malfunction to spice up our lives, right? If you own a Ford Expedition or Lincoln Navigator from the years 2022-2024, you might want to pay attention. These bad boys have a potential issue where the front brake lines may be intertwined with the engine air cleaner outlet pipe, like a bizarre dance of metal parts. This could lead to those brake lines getting damaged and leaking, causing your brake pedal to travel further than expected and reducing your ability to stop.
There's also the fun possibility that the front brake line may have gotten all kinked up during installation. So even if you haven't hit the road yet, you might still have a potential problem on your hands.
