Description of the problem | I entered my vehicle to drive home and realized that i had no brakes. After looking underneath i realized that my brake lines were rotted and leaking. One line is currently leaking but they are all in very bad condition. I was left with no option but to have the vehicle towed home. I am going to have to replace all the brake lines as even the ones that aren't currently leaking are in very poor condition. It would be unsafe to drive the vehicle without replacing them. I am very fortunate that the failure didn't occur while i was driving at a high speed. When i parked the vehicle the brakes were fine and when i came out 20 minutes later i had absolutely no brakes. |
