1996 DODGE RAM 2500 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Problems

I WENT TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT UNDER NORMAL CONDITIONS AND THE BRAKE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I REAR ENDED AN SUV. MY VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP TO FIND THAT THREE OF THE FOUR BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT AND THE ONE THAT STAYED INTACT WAS LEAKING. I DID HEAVY DAMAGE TO THE SUV AS WELL AS PUSHED IN MY BUMPER AND DAMAGED THE HOOD. ALSO THE APPLICATION OF THE EMEREGENCY BRAKE DID NOTHING. *NM

WHILE TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD KNOCKING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT. CONSUMER NOTICED THAT THE FRONT TIRES WERE RUBBING AGAINST THE BRAKE LINES. THIS CAUSED THE BRAKE LINES TO WEAR OUT PREMATURELY. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. *AK

WHILE OPERATING MY 1996 DODGE RAM 2500 EXT CAB 4X4 DIESEL, I SUDDENLY LOST THE NORMAL BRAKING, ON THE VEHICLE I SWERVED TO THE RIGHT TO AVOID HITTING ANOTHER VEHICLE, JUST BARELY MISSING ANOTHER IN SLOWING/STOPPING(ONLY HAD FRONT BRAKES). THE REAR STEEL BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH, LOCATED INSIDE REAR FRAME RAIL DRIVERS SIDE, NEXT TO FUEL TANK,WHERE THE BRACKET HOLDS THE LINE NEXT TO THE FRAME. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 8 YEARS OLD, AND EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED(MAINTENANCE RECORDS AVAILABLE) I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE OTHER COATED (ZINK) LINES ARE ALSO RUSTING. THE LINE WAS REPLACED. SHOULD THIS BE HAPPENING????????? SYSTEM HAS SILICONE BRAKE FLUID.*** I HAVE THE RUSTED BRAKE LINE IF SOMEONE NEEDS TO INSPECT IT.*** IF SOMEONE NEEDS TO SEE IT. *JB

THE CONSUMER HAD WORK DONE TO THE BRAKE WIRING SYSTEM BUT IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BRAKE LIGHT HAD COME ON AS THE CONSUMER WAS LEAVING THE SERVICE DEALER.
