Brakes failed in my 1995 jeep wrangler. Both circuits (front and rear) had all hydraulic fluid stream out. I needed to replace all the brake lines and hoses due to extensive corrosion to the brake lines. The front circuit line rusted thru and the fluid came out thru a rupture in the steel (rusted) line. The rear circuit hose for the drivers side wheel blew off the steel line (due to corrosion). Fortunate for me I was approaching a red light, didn't like the way the brakes felt, so applied the brakes harder than usual to determine if I could sense some defect and they went to the floor, luckily the light turned green at the same time and the cars in front of me moved out. I downshifted and slowed and pulled to the shoulder and then into a shopping center parking lot, from where the car was towed to a repair station. The service tech at the garage told me that all the lines are shot (which I confirmed myself). In addition he also warned me about advanced corrosion to the fuel rail as well as other steel componets (mostly tubular). This jeep has been in fresh water above the frame in the past while four wheeling, but never in salt water. The vehicle has 75,000 miles on it and has not been utilized very often (driven perhaps 1 or 2x per month except winter) over the last several years. Has there been any other complaints of this type of issue? This could have killed me and or whoever else was with me should have made a panic stop prior to this happening. I would appreciate whatever info can be passed along to me. By the way, this repair was extremely expensive!
