“On september 30, 2014, I was driving down the highway in my 2005 Cadillac Deville at the speed of 65 MPH. I exit on to an exit ramp and stopped at a stop light. While at the light my brake pedal went to the floor. I tried pumping the brakes but the peddle kept going to the floor. I then realized I lost my breaks. The repair shop that repaired my brakes stated that the brake line going to the rear brakes rusted out in the middle of the car, which caused my brake failure. This repair cost me $572.66 to run 2 new brake lines from the front of the car to the rear brakes. …”
