There was no accident the driver side rear brake line developed a leak because it was rubbing against the seam on the side of the gas tank. The line is in great shape otherwise. Still has a black coating on it other than the area that was rubbing the plastic gas tank seam. The gas tank seam is also worn away. We purchased this vehicle used in the fall of 2010 and these are the same brake lines as were on it at time of my purchase. Very dangerous experience for my wife who was driving the vehicle when the brake pedal went to the floor. Luckily she got it into a parking lot and parked. This happened 3-15-2019. I took pictures then gently pulled the brake line away from the gas tank and took a picture of the hole worn in the line and wear on the gas tank

When I first purchase my car from a used car dealer which is smart auto dealer, 2 weeks later my vehicle will start to have issues while my vehicle is in motion on the service streets. Whenever I am making a left turn my alert alarm will light up on dash stating service brake assist , service stabilitrak , service traction control and ABS light, this will go on & off, but now it stays on constantly. While turning left, there will be a grinding noise, car tends to reduce its power, like its hard for me to take off and my vehicle will kick so hard, like something is locking. Also another issue is while parked on a slanted carport, my vehicle will not go into reverse gear. I feel like my vehicle is going to break because, I have to force it to get into reverse gear, that the vehicle will make the loudest noise, like my axle is going to break on me. According to the dealers service department its not showing up on there diagnostic as any issues. Can someone please tell me if there is a recall on my vehicle? There was a known recall, but my VIN# is not showing up. Dealers are trying to cheat me

The service airbag light came on but you claim my VIN number is not under recall! This should be looked into! It came on when I started it and stayed on until I was on my way home from work then it disappeared. I also have a break that is grinding even after it has had new rotors, brake pads and the caliper changed. It grinds continuously. I am not happy at all! Please check into these matters! I believe my car should be on your recall list for these issues!
