| I was traveling at 40 mph when traffic stopped ahead. applied brakes but brake pedal depressed to the floor with only very minor braking. avoided accident by using emergency brake and swerving on to the right shoulder. there was no warning on the instrument panel of low brake fluid, lack of braking capacity or any other pending brake malfunction. after getting vehicle safely home a visual inspection revealed a major loss of brake fluid from the master cylinder and brake fluid leaking from above the vehicle frame, below the drivers side floor board. major corrosion has occurred in the vicinity of the leak. although this is a 2000 vehicle, it only has 74,480 mile of use. an internet search reveals that an nhtsa action number : ea11001 has been established for similar complaints. | |||
