| My 2001 oldsmobile bravada had a spontaneous brake failure. the left rear brake line was found to be extremely corroded. the brake fluid escaped and the brakes failed without warning. fortunately, i had stopped at a store on my way to work, upon leaving, i started the engine, pressed on the brake to shift into reverse to back out of the parking space, and the pedal collapsed to the floor. upon examination, there was brake fluid all over the ground and dripping from the suspension. the towing charge was $55.00 and the repair to replace the corroded brake line was approximately $200.00 i have in my possession the section of corroded brake line. i hope that someone takes my frightening experience seriously.

| When the brakes were applied, the pedal went to the floor, which resulted in extended stooping. the dealer inspected the vehicle, however the problem could not be duplicated. *jb | |||
