Description of the problem	My 2008 jeep wrangler had a safety recall affecting the front fender wells rubbing the hard brake lines three years after purchasing the jeep new. This past week (4/28/2018) as i was traveling in my neighborhood my brakes went to the floor and my engine began to smoke. After down shifting and pulling the e-brake to get the vehicle to stop i had noticed the brake line where it was contacting the "fixed" fender well had rusted out and blew out while driving, sending brake fluid all over the engine and resulting in my jeep brakes not working. The initial "fix" that jeep used to alleviate the problem was cutting the fender well wider to not touch the brake lines but obviously the three years it was making contact was enough to deteriorate the integrity of the line and then over the years rust had developed and weakened the metal to the point of failure. I was lucky to have been only driving in my neighborhood with no other vehicles around as apposed to in traffic on a busy road. Brake lines should not corrode and fail in under 10 years.
