A few days before the complete failure we noticed that the brakes had started to feel "mushy". On 9/29/12 my husband hit the brakes hard and that is when the brake line blew out in the front and the rear. The brake line is completely rusted from front to rear.

The cliff is approximately 1,500 feet down - we are very lucky we aren't dead because we only stopped a few feet from…

Abs intermittently came on when i apply the brakes. After several weeks of this happening the brakes became very mushy. Changed both front wheel sensors but didn't fix the problem. Took to repair shop and they said the brake modulator was bad - $1200 to repair. We disconnected the anti-lock brake system at this point. Brakes work fine without it. *tr
