Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Brake failure due to corroded and rusted brake lines. had to replace all lines. can't understand why this occurred as i only have 75,000 miles on my automobile. this could have caused a serious accident as i was in the mountains of tennessee last year. i have never heard of this problem, nor has anyone else whom i have spoken to has ever heard of this problem, and never had this problem with any automobile that i have ever owned. this repair was costing approximately $2,000 to replace all lines. please advise. thank you. *ak
