I was driving my vehicle under normal conditions on a major highway. Upon approaching an exit I applied the brakes to reduce my speed. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor and consequently I engaged my emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The brake warning light did not come on until I brought the vehicle to a complete stop. No accident ensured as a result. I had my vehicle towed to a repair facility where repairs were made. Repairs consisted of a complete replacement of all brakes lines since they were all rusted and corroded. Old parts are not available. A few months prior to this incident all the power steering lines required replacement due to rust and corrosion. The complete exhaust system currently requires replacement due to rust and corrosion (system is leaking).
