1 Brake Disc Caliper problem

Failure Date: 10/11/2012

Took veh. In for headlight alignment. Got into veh. To leave and the brake petal went to the floorboard. Mechanic said the brake line had rusted through. He check and said all lines were completely rusted and needed to be replaced. The veh. Had to be towed to a chev. Dealer to bleed the line. Total cost including one caliper that was too rusted was $794. 11. I had been travelling on the expressway moments prior to going to the service station. Had I not stopped there when I did, I have no doubt serious injuries would have occurred as the brake line rusted through.
