| My husband was backing our suburban down the driveway (a hill) when he completely lost braking. pedal went to the floor and vehicle wasn't slowing. emergency brake was ineffective. he turned into a bush at the bottom of the hill and ran it over, and that plus level road slowed him enough that he was able to stop and drive back up the driveway. there is a trail of brake fluid all the way up on the left side. front brake lines were replaced 2-1/2 years ago due to corrosion. | |||

| The brake line on the driver side has corroded and caused a loss of brake fluid. as a result, the vehicle has lost significant braking ability. upon examination of the other lines, it is apparent that corrosion has affected all visible brake lines. the metal has begun to flake off on all the lines due to corrosion. there is a visible leak in the brake line, below the driver side passenger door. the vehicle is not driveable in this condition. | |||
