: the contact stated while driving 35 mph, the brakes failed without warning. The contact was able to depress the brake pedal all the way to the floor. It was coasted to a stop, and the emergency brake was applied. The vehicle was taken to a private repair shop, where all the steel brake lines were replaced due to the brake lines leaking because of extreme rust. Updated 12/12/06.

Consumer drove down a driveway to park vehicle. The next time he was in the car he had to back out of the driveway to a road where it was flat and the brake pedal went right to the floor. He drove home from there using the emergency brake. Consumer thought it may be lacking brake fluid, which he replaced, and did not help. The next morning the consumer took the vehicle to his mechanic, thinking he had air in his line. The mechanic informed the consumer that brake line broke. The brake line for each rear wheel come out of the anti-locking device, it became a flexible line that was welded to a steel line. At the weld was where the brake line broke. The parts to replace the brake lines were not available when the vehicle was taken to the dealer.
