Driving down the road, I had lost my brakes, took it to a mechanic and the brakes line on the left front wheel broke, this happened in September 2013, and the left front brake line broke again in December 2013. I called the dealer and they said there were no recalls for brakes, maybe next time I'll be traveling the interstate and realize I have no brakes when I need to apply them.
