The brakes totally failed in my 1999 jeep wrangler. The steel brake lines had rusted and the brake petal went to the floor. The vehicle is used in a suburban home environment and I feel that brake lines should not totally fail. We feel we were very lucky this happened in a parking lot not driving on the highway.

Vehicle in question was fitted with an automatic transmission. When brakes were applied, brake pedal went below accelerator pedal. If one was not very careful, the accelerator would also be depressed when applying brakes. After the fact, I remedied the situation by affixing a one and a half inch block of aluminum to the brake pedal.
