Description of the problem	While exiting my driveway at home (which is on a an incline and exits onto a state highway) i lost all braking capability. When i took the car into my local garage to have the problem diagnosed i was told the brake lines were completely corroded through which caused the loss of braking ability. While attempting the repairs the mechanic smelled gasoline fumes and found that the fuel lines where they exit the tank has also corroded through. I started to notice under body corrosion several years ago when the parking brake body attachment points on the rear differential corroded and became dislodged. All of this corrosion seems to be occurring much sooner than i would expect and sooner than i have ever experienced with other vehicles i have owned manufactured by other companies.
