Rear steel brake lines rusted.

Complete brake failure. Deteriated fluid line under driver's door. All fluid was discharged and was left without any brakes at all. Should be investigated. Referenced in rq03-004.

Brakes failed. Driver noticed brake fluid leak and added brake fluid to get the car back to our residence. A review of the brake lines showed corrosion and leakage in the brake line only. All of the other lines and the under carriage show no corrosion at all. This is indicative of a defect in the material used for the brake line. This incident could have been more serious, possibly causing injuries or deaths if it were not for the actions of the driver.

Metal brake line which runs up/over the driver's seat frame chafed, lines routed too close to the body.

Steel brake line running to the rear brakes rubs on the underside of the car body at the transmission crossmember.
