The last 3 vehicles I've owned have had total brake failure due to brake line failure/ with vehicles lasting longer and salt treating for winter precipitation, stainless should be required. The most recent was a Toyota Tundra. Previously an expedition and a Lexus rx300.
Toyota Tundra frame recall - frame coating applied per recall in 2014. Vehicle inspected twice by dealer in 2018 & 2019 and vehicle determined to be ok. Recently experienced loss of brakes and crash into garage. Vehicle inspected by independent mechanic and found 2 perforated and rusted brake lines. Scraping away the undercoating uncovered other corrosion in various degrees. Determined that spray undercoating came way to late as truck already had 9 years of corrosion. Undercoating only hid the problem. Submitted a claim with Toyota who offered no assistance.

I have a 2005 Toyota Tundra, which has the entire frame all rusted. I already replaced all brake lines and differential because of the rust. The mechanic said it is rusted so bad that it could fall apart. There was a limited campaign for a recall on our Tundra and the spray was done in 2015. Obviously it didn't take because of all the continuous issues we are having. I called the corporate office of Toyota and opened an claim and the manager I spoke to really could care less and told me that once the warranties are over its no longer their (Toyota) problem. I requested a field inspection technician to look at the truck . That request was denied by the manager who stated that he was speaking for Toyota. I asked for my claim to be reviewed by some one above him and he stated their was no one higher them himself and his decision was final. I don't understand why they can't look at their products and tells us if it is safe to drive. Obviously they new there was a problem or they wouldn't have the limited campaign for a recall. They need to do more.
I got into truck to drive and had no brakes. They had "gone" out overnight. The truck was towed to dealer and we found out that a brake line had rusted out. Less than three months later the same thing happended again. Now it is an additional two lines that have rusted out. Toyota is telling us that its normal and not unexpected for this to happen with a truck that has almost 50,000 miles on it. In addition, since there are several brake lines on the truck, the others could go at any time. This is an extreme safely hazard as the brakes could stop working at anytime the truck is driven.
