I have had a complete brake job because all of the lines rusted out and failed as I was driving. Fortunately, I was able to use the emergency brake to stop safely. I spent rough. Y $3,000 to get this repaired. Now the fuel lines, fuel cooler and everything attached has rusted out to the point that it is going to be an additiona $2,500 to repair this. Also, the complete under carriage and rear end has rusted to the point that I am expecting it to fail at any time. This is not only a dangerous situation, but is extremely costly to the consumer, me. When the brakes failed, I was driving on a street approaching a busy intersection. With no warning at all, the pedal went to the floor and I had no brakes. The repair facility mechanic said he has never seen a system so bad. I keep the vehicle in a garage and have washed the under carriage in the winter to keep road salt from accumulating.
I had to apply my brakes becauce of a sudden stop. When I did my abs brakes worked for a second when no more brakes. Had to swerve ,to not hit car in front of me. When I stopped I was two feet past that cars right rear fender. When I looked under my truck there was brake fluid leaking from brake line above frame at drivers door. This could have been alot worse. I heard this is no the only time this has happened with this make and model of vehicle.
