“Driving home from little league game with my 7 yr old, came into traffic in town and my brakes went mushy, within a couple minutes went from mushy to 5% braking. Made it home about 2 miles by pumping quickly just enough to slowly stop at the end of drive. When exiting the vehicle, there was a pool of brake fluid eating through my asphalt driveway. All brake fluid had drained out completely rusted / corrosion area of all brake lines by bundle under drivers seat. My mechanic, says other areas are almost as bad in other areas in the rear. Now I'm looking at 500+ in line repairs.”
