Steel Brake lines burst. The Steel lines are all rusted and corroded. Even the factory replacement pieces corroded again. This happened 2 times and even when I replaced them with original factory pieces ,it happened again .this can't be a coincidence.

PHANTOM MISFIRE CAN DROP ENGINE RPM AND STALL. EVERY POSSIBLE SENSOR REPLACED. FUEL PUMP, INJECTORS REPLACED. ENTIRE IGNITION SYSTEM REPLACED. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WHILE THE PHANTOM MISFIRE HAPPENS A PROFESSIONAL CODE READER SHOWS NO MISFIRE AND NO HISTORY OF EVENTS. CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME, ANY SPEED. AT SLOWER SPEED THE ENGINE WILL CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING A DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKE HYDRAULICS. CONDITION HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR OVER FIVE YEARS AND I'M INTO THIS DEMON FOR THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS.
