Braking even

...

AFTER reading your stories about Falcon brake-hose failures I thought I would give my local dealer a ring. After a quick check they told me my car could be affected and they booked it in to have the hoses replaced. They replaced all four hoses. It was done without question and with a smile. There was no charge and I couldn't be happier.

IT'S great you are happy, but you had to ask. If you hadn't read about the problem you wouldn't have known there was one. Wouldn't it have been better if Ford had contacted you and told you of the problem and asked you to take your car in to have the brake hoses changed? I would have been angry with Ford for letting me and my family drive the car around with a potentially dangerous flaw. I note the dealer replaced all brake hoses, because some are only changing the rear hoses, another example of the inconsistent approach by Ford and its dealers.
