The metal brake line that runs along the frame. Where it goes up and over the rear axle on the drivers side. It rusted out without any warning.

The contact owns a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that while driving approximately 2 mph in reverse, the brakes failed. She had to shift into neutral gear and apply the emergency brake in order to gain control of the vehicle. The contact added brake fluid to the vehicle; however, it continued to leak out of the vehicle due to corrosion in the brake line.

Brake line to rear axle corroded and ruptured on 1999 chevy Tahoe. Rupture occurred where the brake line passes below the fuel tank support strap attachment point. My son was able to control the vehicle and get home safely with no rear brakes, but was scared as a result. I have just finished replacing the brake line from the abs module all the way to the rear axle as a result of wide spread corrosion and structural weakness in the line. I also had to replace two fuel lines that pass through the same area as the brake line for excessive corrosion as well. I have the old parts.
