Description of the problem	I was traveling in icy conditions (rain and 26 degrees) and was turning the corner to go into a local mall when i stepped on the brakes, the pedal went to the floor. There was no warning whatsoever and had to apply the brakes with both feet to coast to a stop. I added in a bottle of brake fluid into the master cylinder and had my son step on the brakes, and a gusher came out of the line right under the drivers door. In looking underneath the vehicle, all of the lines seem to run there and all look extremely rusted to the point where i can't tell which is bad. If this had happened 4 minutes before, i was traveling down an extremely steep grade and feel that both my son and i would have been killed. After searching the internet on this issue, it looks like this has been investigated by the nhtsa since 2010 with no findings whatsoever. This is absolutely in excusable. I'm not sure what i am looking for as far as repairs go but am really thankful that my son and i are still alive. What is it going to take to get a ruling on this? Does someone have to die?
