Model Year	2005
File date	04/10/14
Component	SERVICE BRAKES
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Put my foot on brake to put vehicle in gear and pedal went straight to floor. The brake line burst. If i got out of the driveway and headed down the hill to the stop sign and the brakes failed, i would find myself in oncoming traffic doing 40mph+ during rush hour. There was no warning, and no brakes at all!!! This vehicle only has 51,000 miles and is always garaged, washed and very well maintained. I have no doubt that if the brakes failed on the road instead of in the driveway, i would have been involved in a very serious accident. You need to do something before multiple deaths and/or injuries. At least a letter to owners to inspect the brake lines.
