Consumer stated the brake pads spit out of the driver's side front wheel. Both front wheels were checked, and the brake pads were completely dissolved. They dug deep holes in the rotors. At the same time as this happened the brake line that went to the rear wheels had heavy corrosion and they blew out at that point. Other heavy corrosion on other brake lines came out of the ABS control unit. The brakes were not worn out, but they totally dissolved. Vehicle was not used for heavy towing, and it has not been used in the water.
