Cv joint boot failed and wore a hole in the brake line. Most of the ability to brake the vehicle was lost. There did not appear to be a split brake system.

Brakes suddenly failed while driving barely avoiding a serious collision. Brakes were working fine before complete failure. Upon inspection by a mechanic at midas the left front brake line was rubbing against the axle boot resulting in a break in the line and tearing of the boot. This resulted in a complete loss of brake fluid. Previously the right front brake line had fallen off during pad inspection.

Vehicle has a pcv hose failure factory recall. Its failed four times - the hose is not resistant to oil. It eats itself out from the inside out. It than sucks itself in and gets a growing hole. Vacuum pressure gets so low that the brake booster begins to failure causing break failure. Mazda has since upgrade the "new" improved part to a more "improved new" part that fixes this problem. They refuse to fix my van again because they already fixed it once. They should of fixed it right the first time. I'm on my fourth hose now and I think since they upgrade the part again it shows they know they installed a defective part on my van in the first place.
