Driving 45mph approaching a stop, I hit the brakes and the car started to slow. Then the car lurched and accelerated by its self. I pushed the brake harder and tried to pump it but nothing slowed the vehicle. The brakes felt as if they were not working at all. Vehicle crashed at about 55mph and rolled severely injuring the driver. No adverse weather conditions, 77 degrees out, driving on a military installation road.
Rusted and leaking break lines above gas tank of the drivers side. Rusted all the engine area. It has holes just right above the gas tank.
Rusted steel break lines that takes break fluid to rear from the engine compantment
My ml350 has had a problem with the primary brake lights burning out. Automatically the vehicle is switching to the substitute brake lights. This is the second set of brake lights on the vehicle in less than 1-month. I just replaced them 2-days ago with a new set of sylvania bulbs purchased from advanced auto as per the vehicle make, model and year. I am concerned that the problem could originate from a possible short in the electrical system and/or poor grounding.
