Abs Brake Fail Problems of Dodge Dakota

This truck is used to haul a camper and a car trailer for my show cars. Today I started truck to hookup to car trailer for the fourth time time this year. This truck is not driven in the winters yet while backing up to the trailer I pressed on the brake pedal to have the brake pedal go to the floor. I found that the line going to the rear is rusted near the fuel tank and sprays brake fluid onto the fuel tank. Also a line for the front brakes coming down from the abs unit failed at the same time. I have brake fluid spraying everywhere. This caused a complete brake system failure. It appears the oem coated all other under vehicle components yet left the brake lines raw steel. I write this as a search to web to find this is occurring over and over again. Something needs to be done as if this happen to me after hit the road with 9,000 lbs of trailer behind me with no brakes either myself or someone else on the road could have been killed.

At various times the brakes seem to lock up when coming to a stop quickly. This never happens when braking normally, only when needing to brake quickly and hard. Also happens at times during normal braking, but then needing to accelerate, then braking again quickly. This is dangerous in wet weather as the brakes lock momentarily and the tires hydroplane, it appears to be the rear brakes doing this, they release quickly but the momentary lock-up is dangerous. I took it to a mechanic who didn't find a cause for this, but said maybe the abs was periodical failing, as it only happens sporadically; but usually when needing to brake hard as in an emergency. I've never received any recall orders on my vehicle and have lived at same address since purchase of vehicle.

I have had both problems (abs and tire failure) on two seperate occasions. The date on the report was for the most recent. I came around a curve to the right, then turned to the left to straighten out for the road and nothing happened. I started heading for a ditch in someone's yard so I applied the brakes they locked up then released completely. My right front tire went flat causing steering to be nonresponsive. In my first accident, I was following a friend coming from a light that just turned green, and the car in front of him started to slow down to turn, when I applied the brakes, they locked up and would not release so I turned the wheel to avoid the accident and the right front tire went flat causing me to slide on the wheel into the back of another motorist. I have witnesses in both cases that say there was nothing I could do and that I was not breaking any laws. No citation was given in either case because the officers agreed that I did nothing wrong. ( dot number: tire size: 255/55/r17 ).
