Sudden Brake Failure - Crashed Into Building

[710-oil-614]

Tough? No, not really. Just a pile on the poor bugger mentality. It really put a crimp in the "Community" feel of this place.

Stop man. Maybe a few folks made jokes at his expense.

Otherwise this has been supportive at best and rational at worst.

"What brand of oil do you use on your 'BREAK' pedal"????

That is udder nonsense. Putin oil on your break pedal would be use less. Everyone nose that your supposed to put oil on the break pads, two keep them lubricated.

Isn't that how you keep them from squealing???

Of course in needs to be a non synthetic "break in" oil with the proper additives.

Remember when there was the handy emergency brake handle right there between the seats?

Yes! You could do a lot of fun things with those, on a rear wheel drive. But… those days are gone. Unless you buy European now.

2 people attacked ME far more viciously than anyone has done to the OP. (I laughed, then hit ignore.)

the vast majority of replies are courteous.

I call them as I see them. If you do not like what I post may I suggest you put me on the ignore list. Who died and made you the boss?

A few? May I suggest you review the posts. You are wrong.

Don't you mean brakin' oil?

I have been reading just to see what the results were so I hope the op comes back. As far as If it's driver error, no need to be embarrassed, things happen.

Hell, I'm the guy that posted that after a remote start when you put the key in the run position the car would shut off. It happened to me several times. But actually it never happened at all. It was just the fans were on high after a remote start, but when I put the key in the run position they dropped to low speed. And the sound going from high to low I thought the car was turning off. Feel stupid, but not embarrassed.

Triggered a bit, Bob?

My story:

After signing all the paperwork to purchase my new Ford Hybrid Maverick the dealership finally gives me the keys - and a stack of paperwork.

I happily walk to my new truck, open the door, get in, put the key in - turn the ignition and - nothing. dash is lit up - but nothing (silence).

I remove the key and look at it - put it back in the ignition and do it again - still nothing!


I finally realize this is a hybrid vehicle and it is in electric mode. I push the brake, turn the drive dial and it moves!

I felt pretty stupid - especially after reading all the posts here for over a year about hybrid Mavericks at MTC.

yeah, hopefully created a new account and he's still here. if gpsman can do it to duck a ban, then oldsarg can do it to duck embarrassment.

His lawyer likely told him not to post anything more. I'm sure the building owner, lawyers and insurance companies are having a field day. He's in deep on this one.
