Metal brake lines rusted all the way thru and lost all brakes while backing trailer down boat ramp. I used emergency brakes to prevent going into water. Had to get towed to repair location. Plan to repair myself by bending and flaring new metal brake lines. This is a widespread issue with Durangos and Dakotas. Dodge knows about it but won't do anything. Very surprised this issue hasn't resulted in someone getting killed, or maybe it has. Dodge sucks!!!
