1 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 11/28/2014

While driving home from work my brakes failed. The brake lines are rusted and pitted. An obvious design error, a component that can fail in an instant rendering the vehicle unstoppable should be made of stainless steel. Cheap and lightweight may be ok for a fender it makes no sense for a brake line.
