| Description of the problem | A car cut in front of me and i had to slam the brakes, when i did the pedal went straight to the floor. I was able to swerve into another lane and avoid the car in front of me but after pulling over i observed brake fluid gushing out a rusted out brake line when the pedal was pushed. Very unsafe. I live in charleston south carolina and this type of corrosion on the brake lines is totally unsafe. |
