While backing out of my driveway I attempted to stop due to traffic traveling along the route I was entering. When I applied the brake the peddle went completely to the floor. Luckily I was able to stop with the emergency brake in time to avoid an accident with a trash truck that was traveling along that route. Using the emergency brake I was able to pull the vehicle back into my driveway safely and found that the brake line was corroded and was leaking just under the drivers side door. My vehicle is well maintain and I am often complemented for the care I take of both it's appearance and maintenance. The is no other area of this vehicle that is rusted and the underneath of this vehicle is in very good shape. I am the original owner of this vehicle and it has not been subject to any type of excess weather conditions. There is no reason these lines should have failed like this. I have been an ase certified auto tech for brakes and can tell you that is is not common to check the lines over the top of the frame during routine brake inspections and maintenance, only to check for signs of leaks in normal line locations and soft lines, calipers and other hardware related to the wheel area.
