My wife was driving and suddenly the brake pedal went to the floorboard. The service brakes light illuminated as did the stability track and brake fault lights. Fortunately she was going slow and was able to maintain control without having a collision. Upon inspection, i found a brake line failure in the frame, due to heavy corrosion. This occurred on a city street in a 30 mph zone. *tr

This is a fleet vehicle with multiple drivers. It has been garaged since purchased new, and frequently washed. It is infrequently used in poor weather, when roads are salted or brined, and undercarriage is rinsed after use in such conditions, intending to avoid premature undercarriage rust.
