I went to stop at a red light under normal conditions and the brake petal went to the floor and I rear ended an SUV. My vehicle was towed to a repair shop to find that three of the four brake lines rusted out and the one that stayed intact was leaking. I did heavy damage to the SUV as well as pushed in my bumper and damaged the hood. Also the application of the emeregency brake did nothing.
