2001: “I was driving home from work and was coming up to a stop sign and my brake pedal went clear to the floor. Luckily no one was coming and I went right through the intersection. After getting the truck home, my mechanic came and looked it over and found the rear brake line on the left side of the truck was completed rotted out and will have to be replaced. He told me that the other lines are looking bad also and that they should be replaced.”
