“I was driving on a 4 lane divided highway with multiple stoplights. As a light turned red, I applied the brakes. The brake pedal went to the floor accompanied by the brake warning light and I almost hit the car in front of me. I pulled off into a parking lot and discovered brake fluid leaking in the vicinity of the left rear wheel. Upon further inspection, it was discovered that all of the brake lines are severely corroded and that the failure occurred in the steel brake line that goes to the rear brakes. …”
