About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
The first time May 2009 my brakes failed going down a hill, it turns out the main brake line had rotted out and I lost pressure to the rear brakes, I was lucky there was no one coming thru the intersection because I could not stop, my van was loaded and weighed 10,000 lbs. This is the second time the brake lines failed on this van Sept 2012 the rear axle brake line failed on the highway just lucky no one was in front of me. I have a 1985 GM van that has the original brake lines on it and they are in very good shape. I have a 1965 Toyota FJ45 that has the original brake lines on it and no corrosion on them. What is wrong here these lines should last a life time it is a safety item. Now I will replace them all with new brake lines because I can't trust the rest of them now I don't want to die or kill someone else.
