When I applied my brakes as I backed out of my driveway , the brake petal went to the floor. Upon closer inspection under my truck I notice brake fluid leaking from between the frame and fuel tank . I then notice that the brake line had rusted through and I had no warning . The brake lines are located where you cannot see them making inspection of them nearly impossible . I was lucky where I was when the brakes failed .
