For the last 2 years the front brakes stalled 4 times on the high way. I had to pull over, wait 20 minutes and the brakes are working again. The mechanic's computer doesn't find anything wrong.

Brake line at rear wheel connector rusted through and literally broke a hole through the very rusted metal while driving at about 30 mph, but luckily this was on empty road and it eventually stopped, but the brake pedal lost effectiveness and the usability is now dangerous, so it is parked at home, while my registration, tax and inspection lives are only half used.
