| Description of the problem | While parking my jeep in a parking garage, the front brake line snapped during a turn. The broken line occurred where it connects to the driver's side tire from the engine. I lost all ability to brake and lost all brake fluid. Only emergency brake would work. Had to have it towed to dealer for costly repair to include replacing front brake pads because brake fluid ruined them. Very lucky i was in a parking garage and not on a major road driving at higher speed. |
