Description of the problem	Brake failure due to rusted brake line. A panic stop was attempted to avoid a merging vehicle. The brake pedal went to the floor when the line broke. I was able to avoid the vehicle the remaining fluid and slow speed stopped my vehicle. I have had other problems in the past with the brake pedal being soft and able to go to the floor. But it rebounded and stopped the truck. There is also abs quirks as well. Vehicle is a 1999 gmc sierra extended cab 3 door 4x4 5. 3l 78,000 miles. I found the leak it was inside the frame under the drivers door in a cluster of brake lines attaching to the abs pump. All of the brake lines in the area were seriously rusted and have to be replaced. The lines aprox. 1 foot from the abs pump are in good shape. The brake lines seem to be rusted however the frame, underbody floor and other equipment located in the same area are not showing a rust problem. This rust problem should be checked and inspected regularly. I think a stainless steel or other rust resistant material should used in this location.
