General hts 10 ply e rated tire failure; separated belt
The first time may 2009 my brakes failed going down a hill,it turns out the main brake line had rotted out and I lost pressure to the rear brakes, I was lucky there was no one coming thru the intersection because I could not stop, my van was loaded and weighed 10,000 lbs. This is the second time the brake lines failed on this van sept 2012 the rear axle brake line failed on the highway just lucky no one was in front of me. I have a 1985 gm van that has the original brake lines on it and they are in very good shape. I have a 1965 toyota fj45 that has the original brake lines on it and no corrosion on them. What is wrong here these lines should last a life time it is a safety item. Now I will replace them all with new brake lines because I can't trust the rest of them now I don't want to die or kill someone else.
On i71 interstate, entering i264 ramp, traffic went from 60 MPH to basically stopped extremely quick, no choice but to slam on the brakes, I had locked up the rear brakes,anti-lock on front, the pedal suddenly went to the floor, miraculously I only touch the car in front,,,we pulled over, along with 6 other cars,,we found no damage to the front of mine, nor the rear of the car in front of me, no one hit me from behind. I limped home on the emergency brake, and found the front right caliper line wet with spray indications 12" around the failed line which is mounted on the rear of the main-cross member of the frame...all brake lines on my van, whether in the spray line from wheels or not, are very corroded...the whole system will need to be replaced.
