2 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 09/13/2014

Was backing out of the driveway and when I tried to stop the brake pedal went all the way down and I had no brakes. There was no warning whatsoever that I had a braking problem. When I looked underneath the truck I could see that the brake lines are very corroded and one is leaking. It looks like they will all need to be replaced and the truck will probably need to be towed in to have this done. It sounds like this will be a very costly fix. I bought this truck new and it has always been garaged and well taken care of.

5 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 09/18/2011

Complete loss of front brake system while driving. I noted a soft pedal while sitting at a traffic light and on the next brake apply there was little or no deceleration until the pedal was near the floor. The rear wheels locked up momentarily while slowing the vehicle at the extent of pedal travel. After stopping the vehicle, I noted a steady stream of brake fluid coming from the line when the brake was applied. The brake line running to the abs unit under the driver side door had a large leak in an area of heavy corrosion. Upon further inspection I found that most of the brake lines had heavy corrosion on the vehicle although no other leaks were noted.
