MY BRAKE LINES GAVE OUT, APPARENTLY THEY ARE ALL RUSTED AND IN BAD SHAPE. MY VEHICLE HAD JUST FINISHED AN ANNUAL SAFETY INSPECTION AT A REPAIR SHOP. UPON LEAVING THE SHOP WHEN I DEPRESSED THE PEDAL TO STOP FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE TRUCK WOULD NOT STOP. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AND THE TRUCK TOOK APPROXIMATELY 3 - 4 TIMES THE NORMAL DISTANCE TO STOP. THERE WAS NO WARNING NOR LIGHT INDICATING ANY ISSUE WITH THE BRAKES. *TR

WHEN OPERATING VEHICLE IN DRIVEWAY, BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY WENT TO THE FLOOR. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THAT A STEEL BRAKE LINE TOWARD THE REAR OF VEHICLE HAD BURST DUE TO CORROSION. IN THIS CASE A COMPLETE LOSS OF BRAKING WAS NOTED RESULTING IN A MINOR COLLISION WITH A TREE. NO DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR DRIVER. SINCE THIS TRUCK IS ONLY APPROX. 5-6 YEARS OF AGE, IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THIS IS QUITE AN EARLY FAILURE. FORTUNATELY IT FAILED IN THE DRIVEWAY AND NOT SEVERAL MINUTES LATER WHEN ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR
