Truck in reverse my foot on the brake pedal, on a driveway with an incline, I was waiting to back out of the drive way onto the street when the brake pedal went to the floor, and the truck started to roll backwards into the street. With some luck, I remembered to apply the emergency brake and stop the truck. After being towed to a repair shop I was shown that the break lines were all rusted very bad, and that 1 of them had blown out with no warning and all fluid was lost. I felt lucky to be alive.my truck looks new from the out side and in, I keep it clean and have it inspected for the state of pa yearly. When I looked under the truck at the repair shop I was shocked that everything was covered in rust, it looked like a 50 year old truck. I owned a 1978 GM truck for 16 years - 250,000 miles and it was not rusted under the body like this.

The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer and they stated that all the brake lines were rusted and fractured. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 130,000.
