No specific crashes that I am personally aware of, but there have surely been many, possibly attributed to other causes. The failure-severely rusted brake fluid lines which have caused loss of braking. It occurs very frequently in the 'rust belt states', ie massachusetts for example. Repair involves replacing rusted lines and related parts, usually at substantial cost to vehicle owner. The reason for reporting this problem is that I am a repair shop owner with over 40 years in business, and I am seeing more of this problem every day. It constitutes a substantial percentage of my shop's business.

2000 Dakota club cab r/t with rear abs brakes only. Complaint: never had working rear brakes, couldn't be fixed by dealer, sold back to Chrysler. Now I have discovered several more r/t's with the same problem! Chrysler/Dodge won't or can't fix! how many more are out there? rear wheels will not stop turning under under any condition except using the emergency brake. Found this out on snowy street while stopping. When vehicle finally stopped in the middle of intersection, the speedometer was reading 10 mph! looked out door at rear wheels and they were spinning with the brake pedal depressed hard. It's no wonder they can't keep front rotors on these vehicles, they are doing 100% of the stopping!.
