On Saturday, August 21, 2004 I pulled out of my driveway and attempted to apply my brakes. The brakes went to the floor with very little resistance. I continued driving about 100 ft and noticed the brake light had come on. I thought it might be the emergency brake. It wasn't. within 10 seconds of noticing the brake light I attemted to stop. After about a minute of applying the brakes, I stopped. I applied the emergency brake and decided to open the hood to see if the brake reservoir was empty. It was 3/4 low. I went back to the house and brought back a can of dot 3-4 brake fluid. I filled the reservoir to the proper level. I got back into the car and started the vehicle. I again pressed on the brake pedal and again the pedal went to the floor. I used the steering wheel to turn the tires to the far right and then to the far left. I looked behind both front wheels to see if there was any visible signs of brake fluid leaking. There was none. I decided to chock the back tires buy placing a large tree log behind each rear tire. I then crawled under the rear area of the vehicle and noticed dripping brake fluid coming from above the transaxle (rearend). I placed my hand above and felt the hydraulic line and felt a large amount of corrosion on the brake line. I am sending the vehicle to parkway auto repair on Wednesday, August 25, 2004. If you would like to see pictures or the actual brake line after it is removed, please let me know. No crash or injuries occurred from this equipment failure.
