How could it cost $1300 to replace a piece of brake line????

Brakes are expensive to work on because there is a liability issue. If a driver can not stop a car it could very well be a death sentence. Brakes are a critical component that can not be done as a botched job, it's definately not something that should be gone cheaply on.

This would explain the high price. The mechanics didn't simply work on one portion of the brake lines, they had to spend their own sweet time inspecting the entire brake system!

how do you replace a fan clutch on a car with an electric fan

your advice is BOGUS get some certification

I disagree. They have had to inspect the entire system, but that doesn't take 10 hours. It takes more like an hour. It does not explain the high cost. But we don't know what was done, either.

After having one line burst, I had ALL of the brake lines replaced (I had just had some fairly major surgery and wasn't in shape to do it myself). The total cost was less than $500.

Why didn't you use your parking/emergency brake instead of 'coasting for miles?'. That is what it is for.

Also, what year car? The Taurus has been around for a long time, and if it was that bad, you'd think there would have been a recall or more messages about it by now.

For that kind of change, i smell a ABS controller or ABS pump. Either that, or a over sized reamer......

I did use the emergency brake when the car slowed down enough. But I?m not hitting the emergency brake doing 60 mph.
