Driver side entry assist hand hold breaks and allows driver to fall backwards when trying to use to enter vehicle. Brake line failure from fluid holder to ABS distribution block rust out and releases brake fluid and pedal goes to floor and will not stop vehicle. Brake hoses deteriorates and does not allow caliper to release and causes overheat problems with poor steering when brake is applied
