“I went to back out of my driveway and the brake pedal went to the floor. I looked under the vehicle and noticed a rusted brake line had burst. I was able to park it safely back in the driveway. I take care of my truck and is serviced regularly by the dealer.”

Brought into dealer and they stated that the backside of the rotor is rusted away and that there is only 1/4 of an inch of contact on the rear side of all 4 rotors. Vehicle has 30,000 miles and is out of warranty, dealer said corrosion is normal in the northeast and now wants $1,000 for a new brake job.”
