Driving in residential area, about 25 MPH. Applied brakes, and pedal went all the way to the floor with little of no back pressure. I had just used brakes at a stop sign just minutes before, no indication of any problem. No warnings, lights, buzzers, nothing, just a sudden total loss of brakes, front and rear. Upon investigating, found all brake lines on rear of vehicle crumbling with rust. I removed one piece, it broke completely in two different places while taking it out. Fuel lines appear to be in like condition. Vehicle was purchased used. After I turned off the engine off, then restarted it, the brake warning lights, and ABS lights illuminated. This could have had catastrophic results had it happened on the open road. Why no previous warnings to a brake problem?
