Description of the problem | While traveling on i-75 north at the i-4 exit i brake to slow down for stopped traffic ahead and the brake pedal worked for a brief moment before quickly loosing all pressure and going to the floor. All braking power was lost immediately and i barely avoided an accident by swerving off the road to avoid the stopped traffic in my lane. Upon initial inspection it became obvious that the brake line had ruptured behind the front driver side wheel. The lines are all heavily corroded and rusted, thereby becoming brittle and failing under pressure. |
