WHEN I APPLIED MY BRAKES AS I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY , THE BRAKE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION UNDER MY TRUCK I NOTICE BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM BETWEEN THE FRAME AND FUEL TANK . I THEN NOTICE THAT THE BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND I HAD NO WARNING . THE BRAKE LINES ARE LOCATED WHERE YOU CANNOT SEE THEM MAKING INSPECTION OF THEM NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE . I WAS LUCKY WHERE I WAS WHEN THE BRAKES FAILED .
