Brakes failed coming into my driveway. Able to stop car by using emergency brake. Could have caused a crash. Brought to be serviced. Mechanic reported that it was failed left front brake hose due to spring support rubbing through. This hose has been replaced and the old part is available. Mechanic also reported that right front brake hose needs to be replaced because of same reason. An appointment for this has been scheduled and part will be available. He feels this will be a design issue.
