One morning when try to go the work, I start my truck but see the brake light show up, when push the brake pedal goes all the way down, I look brake fluid under the truck drooping fluid by the gas tank area. Thanks to god not happen when driving and just used the truck night before, if not could be something very bad and dangerous.
While driving on a divided 4 lane highway at night, several deer ran in the pat( of our vehicle. I applied the brakes, snd they went all the way to the floor. We slowed down but were unable to stop. Luckily therevwas no one beside us and we were able to avoid the last deer by swerving into the left lane. I could ell there was no pressure in my brake pedal after that. We were about 20 miles from home but I only had 2 more stop signs until our residence. The brake warning lights on the dash didnt come on until less than 1/4 mile from my house. There was also an audible alarm at that time. Was able to coast into my driveway and get stopped from there. The mechanic said the brake lines were corroded and one had burst. The additional stress cause by the rupturing of the line then affected the other lines. I had to pay to replace all the brake lines before it was safe to drive again.

Brakes seemed soft while driving on mountain roads yesterday. This morning puddle under the driver side door and brakes went to the floor. No brake warning lights came on. Hour later when tow truck came, moved truck for towing and brake warning light came on. It did not want to stop with brakes - rolled to stop. Had it towed to dealer who is checking for the reason for the leak. Not repaired yet - waiting for dealer to get back to me.
