In the process of exiting from our home, while towing a large boat, a brake line ruptured releasing the brake fluid and causing a complete failure of the brake system. I inspected the ruptured area and found that all the brake lines were severely rusted and ready to fail at any time in the near future. The vehicle was towed to a repair facility to have the brake lines replaced. Estimated cost is $950. Had this failure happened one minute later the results could have been catastrophic!.
