First related symptom: few years ago brake lines rusted under the hood. Original remedy: I have painted them to protect them from further rust. Current issue: 12/26/2008 brake light switched on during drive to work. 12/26/2008 brake pedal got soft on the way back to home. 12/27/2008 I have checked the brake fluid. It was low. I have bought and add more fluid (car was not moved this day). While fluid was added I started the engine and in park gear I have pumped the brake pedal. It remained soft. Fluid got low again... There was a fluid on the pavement between rear axle and the fuel tank in the middle of the car. Speed of break deterioration and speed at which car is loosing fluid might lead to an accident. This is definitely a safety issue. Vehicle: crown victoria 1995, with ABS and traction assist. Break lines have corroded several years ago, now first has developed large leak. I will have to repair the car in the next few days, this is first time I will repair the lines. The vehicle has 130k miles. I have never seen other vehicle with such brake line corrosion.
