“Spontaneous front and rear brake failure on a 2004 Chevrolet SILVERADO 1500 lt pickup truck. I was pulling up to my driveway and applied the brakes. The pedal went to the floor and I tried to pump the brake with no success. No prior brake level or ABS or proportioning valve warning lights were indicated. I applied the emergency brake and came to a stop. Once I parked the truck I noticed brake fluid dripping down below the driver's door. I crawled under to discover that all four steel brake lines were completely rusted and fluid was steadily coming out. …”
