Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
I had been driving on the expressway, I exited and stoped at a drive up window. As I pulled up to the window my brake peddle went to the floor, I had to put it in neutral and use the emergency brake to get the car to stop. After inspection I found that a line within the cluster of four had failed under the drivers side front door. All the lines needed to be replaced due to severe rust.
The brake light came on in my car and when I took it in to the mechanic, I was told the brake lines were corroded. Brake fluid was leaking through the lines and if I had driven for even another hour, I would have had no brakes. I had the lines replaced, which had to be custom built. The repair cost me $1188.
Hard brake lines on frame under drivers door rusted through causing brake failure. While driving stepped on brakes and brake pedal went all the way down to the floor and vehicle would not stop. Noticed brake fluid leaking from under drivers door and saw that the hard brake lines on the frame were rusted threw. I had lots of older vehicles and never had the hard brake lines rusted threw especially in a 9 year old vehicle. Could have been very serious accident if it had happened on a highway.
Excessive rust build up on brake lines, rotors and calipers. Rotors & pads previously replaced in sept., 2008. Needed replacement again in oct., 2012 after only driving 16,000 miles. Brake lines are severely corroded and are in need of replacement. Control arm linkage attached to height sensor actuator also broke at about the same time.

Complete brake failure due to brake line corrosion, sudden onset, driver side to rear brake. Had previous episode front passenger line 3 mos prior. Will be replacing all lines at personal cost w stainless tubing, pending recall. Very dangerous.
As I was driving home from work late this afternoon on july 05, 2011 on rt 589 in pasco county fl, I was coming off the exit to a red light and I could not stop. I had to push the brake pedal to the floor and hold it there in order to stop just short of the intersection. Luckily there were no cars in the right lane going through the intersection at the same time. I pulled over after the light turned green and noticed fluid squirting out above the passenger rear tire area. After I made it home I pulled the tire off and looked around and notice two heavily corroded lines where the fluid was coming out.
