I am writing as requested on our phone call on January 3 2015 as you are aware my wife and eleven year old daughter were nearly in an accident on December 15 2014. My 1999 Nissan Pathfinder had gone back to the dealer in 2014 as there was a recall on strut tower failure in high road salt sections of the country. They repaired the driver side strut tower and half of the passenger side tower the enclosed pictures show where they stopped the repair. This is where the tower failed. According to my mechanic if they had completed the procedure correctly this part of the tower would not have failed causing the brake lines to separate and break.

After a 1500 mile trip back from New York state I pressed the brake pedal while starting the car and putting it into drive and the pedal went to the floor and all brake fluid went onto the ground in my driveway. Due to extreme road conditions in the northeast salt and snow the brake lines in the rear of the vehicle completely failed I lost both front and rear brakes at the same time. After a $1500 repair on both brake lines and exhaust the car was back on the road again. Now 3 years later the brake lines under the hood have failed thankfully in the driveway, all fluid lost and no brakes from or rear.
