Sudden brake failure --two instances first in Sept 2009 and today --severe corrosion on rear brake lines and lose of brake fluid and no brakes ---need to check all 1997 Ford Ranger XLT for similar problems as can result in a crash. I have had repairs made as afraid of repeat also notice corrosion at front brake lines.
