“I was driving in traffic and tried to stop applied brakes and the pedal went down to the floor. I had to veer to the right to prevent hitting car in front of me. This happened with my daughter driving several times before and she did not tell us. We put new brakes on the car and still have the problem.”

NHTSA complaint #10046914, filed 2003-11, 90,220 miles“On saturday, march 3, 2007, I experienced a sudden loss of my brakes upon stopping at a stop sign at a four-way controlled intersection. A pick-up truck on my right side had the right-of-way and had begun to proceed through when my 2000 town & country lxi brakes failed and went through the stop sign. Fortunately, the other driver was able to stop without incident. I had my minivan towed to our mechanic who found the brake lines were both severely corroded/rusted, one totally through the metal, the other nearly so. Both were replaced at a cost of over 600.00. …”

Luckily I was only traveling at about 10 MPH and by pumping brakes, gearing down and steering, I was able to avoid an accident. On inspecting my vehicle, under the driver?s side I found a leak in the brake line where the braided gas line joins with the steel gas line. There are 2 braided lines with connections at both ends to 2 steel lines. All 4 connections show extensive corrosion at the joint. …”
NHTSA complaint #10070350, filed 2004-01, 56,835 miles“As I backed out of my downward sloping driveway the brake pedal went to the floor and it was necessary to apply emergency brake to prevent entry into the street. Visual inspection of the rear brake lines revealed rust/corrosion on both sides of the flexible stainless steel segments which are located about 1 foot to the rear of the ABS module. One of these sections had ruptured causing the loss of braking. I have removed the line from the ABS module and cut it about a foot from the rupture. I have pre-removal pictures of these areas and the affected parts are available. …”
