| The incident originally felt like possible warped brake disc (slight throbing in the brake pedal). whithin two weeks it became a clicking noise in the front end even whithout the brake pedal pressed. investigatio disclosed a buildup on the inside surface of the right front brake disc. this buildup was radial in nature; about .375 inch width, about .010 inch in height, with a length of brake pad width. its appearance was similar to weld bead. the buildup was removed by hand burnishing. this removal disclosed a crack in the brake disc which ran along one edge of the buildup. my analysis of this problem is; the disc surface just ahead of the crack deflects inward when the brakes are applied, the trailing edge of the crack then acts as a scraper blade on the pad. the brakes do function throb and noise free since the burnishing, but i am sure that the buildup will reoccur. *ak | |||

| The brake pedal went to floor when brakes applies - no pressure and almost no braking of the vehicle possible. this occurred at a stop of the vehicle and therefore no crash. it was determined that a corroded brake line had failed leading to a complete loss of fluid and brakes. the brake fluid lines from the front of the car to the midpoint looked fine, but were completely corroded from that point back to the rear wheels. one of the lines had been replaced previously by the prior owner although without their specific knowledge. this would have been performed in 2000-2003. *nm | |||

| While driving my car i experienced a loss of all but manual brakes. i managed to reach a nearby service garage where it was determined that one of the brake lines between the master cylinder and the modulator valve had corroded and failed. this occurred where the tubing is wedged to a flex hose. there is a second line between the master cylinder and the modulator valve and it also showed signs of corrosion at the same location. both lines have been replaced. i have retained the old lines. *nm | |||
