(1) front brakes grab on one side, vehicle swerves to one side and jerks to stop (2) brake hose into calipers "callapsed". Break pads wear prematurely, rotors overheat. Loss of braking on affected side. (3) brake hose, calipers, pads, and rotors replaced. Insident occurred on left side after 40,000 miles of driving. Replaced hose on left side; both calipers, pads, and rotors on bohth sides. At 80,000 miles, right side hose collapsed. Requires hose on right side; caliper, pads, and rotor replacements on both sides. Hose assy on back order: one dealer has 18 on order, no projected date in sight.

This vehicle is only 8 years old, and extremely well maintained(maintenance records available) I also noticed that the other coated (zink) lines are also rusting. The line was replaced.
