Brake lines rusted out.

The 2006 Dodge Caravan uses a mixture of plastic and metal brake lines. The plastic lines are not safe. A couple months ago the left rear plastic brake line busted during driving and almost cause an accident. Yesterday the right rear plastic brake line busted and almost caused a crash (with family in the vehicle). The 2006 vehicle is not old; the lines should be more durable. There is no warning you've lost all your brake fluid until you push the brake pedal and it bottoms out and your vehicle doesn't stop.
