I have a 2009 International CE 200 25' bus. Recently had hydraulic brake lines replaced, pedal seemed to operate fine, drove it about 600 miles, noticed when I came close to stopping there was a rubbing noise. Had to drive another 600 miles the next day and noticed occasional rubbing noise and squeak. Bus went into limp mode, turned it off and back on again and seemed fine. Let it sit for 2 months while I was out of the country, when I came back every light on the dash was lit up, ABS, Traction Control, Brake Pressure etc. I could not get the parking brake to release. Went underneath the bus and new brake lines looked like the pictures here. Had to get it towed, it wouldn't move, tried to manually disengage the parking brake cable and it broke in the process. Shop where I had the work done is 1000 miles away. Shop here bled the lines and said the hydraulic abs unit (HCU) was bad. They don't think the crimped lines or work done would have caused the HCU to go bad. They are quoting me over $6k for repairs.
It seems a bit coincidental that the recent brake job wouldn't have attributed to this. Can anyone weigh in? Is this price highway robbery? Do those lines look like they need to be redone? Think there is a decrease in flow of hydraulic fluid because of how they are bent? Buses are expensive! lol
