Brake line above fuel line completely rusted through. Luckly I was stopped for fuel and lost brake pressure. Upon inspection at my local garage, all brake lines were rusted to the point all were replaced. Upon closer inspection, the rear suspension parts are rusting underneath the coating that covered the suspension parts. I realize the vehicle is 14 years old, but I have much older vehicles that have zero rust. Just for the record, we have years that we have no snow, so my exposure to salt roads is very limited. Items such as brake lines and suspension parts should be made of a better quality material. After all, this vehicle still has the original exhaust system! regardless of age, with just over 77k miles this is a serious safety issue.
