| Approaching a traffic light at 35 mph, without warning the brake pedal went to the floor. i could not slow the car down very much and went through a very yellow light. fortunately the car waiting at the light had not entered the intersection. the a brake line routed above the frame blew apart losing brake fluid every time i pumped the brakes. no pressure to operate the rear brakes. the break occurred at a rusted location. *tr | |||

| I was backing the vehicle into the garage. while maneuvering back and forth i step on the brake petal to shift back to forward. the vehicle stopped then the petal went to the floor board abruptly. the vehicle moved and stuck the house. the rear brake line had split open at the abs braking valve. all of the brake lines at the valve were severely rotted. had to replace all the steel lines to make the vehicle safe. | |||

| Wife was driving truck at approx 30 mph when dic illuminated with service brake system message. she then pressed the pedal and it went to the floor. she was able to maneuver the vehicle which would not stop from hitting anything/anyone. only after pumping the pedal did the truck stop. upon inspection the brake lines have rotted/corroded along the drivers side frame rail. if this would have happened at highway speeds, someone could have been killed. the vehicle is parked now, and has not been repaired as of yet | |||
