Caller stated brake lines and fuel lines were rusty. Caller's wife was driving and the brake light came on, and when caller checked, there was no fluid in the master cylinder. The brake pedal went to the floor. Caller found a hole in the front brake line. Caller noticed that the fuel line was rusting as well. Dealer and manufacturer stated warranty expired, and there was nothing they could do for him. Caller was taking vehicle to a mechanic to get the front brake line fixed.

Sudden loss of brake fluid due to premature rusting of metal brake lines. Brake warning light came on, brake pedal went mushy, some difficulty in stopping vehicle. Subsequent examination revealed metal brake lines severely rusted in three places, one resulted in said loss of fluid.
