On driving my vehicle, my brakes slowly sank to floor, upon pumping my brake warning light came on, I pulled over to find brake fluid coming from under the truck, located under the driver door area. Having my vehicle towed to my brothers house we noticed that the brake lines where rusted and rotted, right before they go into the abs, my vehicle has been sitting in his driveway since then, I do not have the money for repairs.
While driving on the highway my brake light came on. Then as I applied the brakes under normal usage I felt the pedal go all the way to floor. Was able to get it home. Took to dealer who said all 4 brake lines had burst due to corrosion. Charged me over $1500. 00 to fix for new lines and bleeding the system.
