WHY are brake lines on vehicles not required to be made so as not to rust? Brake lines failed on my vehicle, and need to be replaced. How many accidents are caused by brake line failures?

I HAD JUST PURCHASED THE CAR 2 WEEKS EARLIER. I WAS ACCELERATING TO MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY AND THE ACCELERATOR STUCK AT 60 MPH. NO MATTER WHAT I DID TO THE PEDAL, IT WAS STUCK AT 60 MPH. THE BRAKES WOULD NOT WORK EITHER. I WAS IN A RUNAWAY CAR ON A BUSY FREEWAY. I TRIED TO NEGOTIATE THE TRAFFIC FOR 2 MILES THEN DECIDED I NEEDED TO GET OFF THE FREEWAY. I STARTED TO SMASH INTO THE FREEWAY OFF-RAMP RETAINING WALL IN THE EFFORT TO SLOW THE TRUCK DOWN WHICH IT DID TO SOME DEGREE. THEN HAD TO BARREL THROUGH A RED LIGHT WITH FLASHERS AND HORN GOING AND TO STOP THE TRUCK I DELIBERATELY RAMMED IT INTO A WROUGHT IRON FENCE, 2 LANDSCAPING BOULDERS AND A LIGHT POST. THE AIRBAG ALSO FAILED. I WAS RUSHED BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL WITH HEAD TRAUMA AND CONCUSSION, BROKEN GLASSES THAT CUT MY EYEBROW. I HAVE PICTURES. THE WORST PART HAS BEEN THE PTSD THAT I HAVE SUFFERED AS A RESULT OF THE ACCIDENT -- MULTIPLE FAILURE - ACCELERATOR, BRAKES AND AIRBAG.

MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 60K MILES, DON'T DRIVE A WHOLE BUNCH, BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2002. 2 TIMES I HAVE HAD THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL AND BREAKS CATCH ON FIRE DUE TO THE BRAKES/CALIPER LOCKING UP. ONE INCIDENT WAS ONLY GOING ABOUT 25 MPH, THE OTHER INCIDENT ON HIGHWAY AROUND 55 MPH. BETWEEN TOWING AND REPLACING BRAKES, ROTORS, CALIPER, BRAKE LINES, AROUND $500-$750 EACH TIME. I AM ON HERE BECAUSE MY BRAKE LINE FROM FRONT TO BACK HAS ERODED AWAY NEAR GAS TANK, SAME AS EVERYONE'S I HAVE READ AND BECAUSE MY PASSENGER WHEEL HAS BEGAN TO GIVE SIGNS THAT IT WILL BE LOCKING UP AGAIN. HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LINE DUE TO THE LINE BEING CRACKED WHERE THE BANJO BOLT IS. THESE SEEM TO ALL BE HUGE ISSUES AND VERY DANGEROUS THAT NEED TO BE ADDRESSED.

I WAS PARKED IN A SPACE. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND PUSHED THE BRAKE PEDAL TO TAKE THE VEHICLE OUT IF PARK. I FELT THE PEDAL GO TO THE FLOOR AND HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE VEHICLE. I PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK AN GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT THE NOISE WAS AND SAW FLUID DRIPPING FROM MY GAS TANK. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I REALIZED THE BRAKE LINE NEXT TO THE FUEL TANK HAD BURST DUE TO RUST AND CORROSION. THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE TO THE REAR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE WORST DAMAGE WAS THE SECTION TUCKED BEHIND THE FUEL TANK WHERE IT WAS MORE DIFFICULT TO GET CLEANED DURING NORMAL WASHING.

16 YEAR OLD SON WAS DRIVING MY TRUCK TO A SCHOOL FUNCTION, STEPPED ON THE BRAKES TO MAKE THE TURN OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO THE SCHOOL AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WENT TO GET THE VEHICLE AND THE BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS ALONG THE FRAME RAIL TO THE REAR AXLE HAD CORRODED THROUGH IN SEVERAL PLACES CAUSING HIM TO LOSE BRAKE FLUID. I'VE HAD A LOT OF CARS MUCH OLDER THAN THIS TRUCK (MY FAMILY HAD A CAR DEALERSHIP) AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE EVER SEEN A HARD BRAKE LINE GO BAD. LOOKING ONLINE FOR A REPLACEMENT PART IT QUICKLY BECAME APPARENT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE DAKOTAS AND THEY ALL CORRODE IN THE SAME PLACE. BEHIND THE FUEL TANK. DEFINITELY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD CORRECT.

WHILE STOPPED PARKING AND TAKING VEHICLE OUT OF GEAR, BRAKES FAILED AND PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. THIS IS A SPECIAL ORDER VEHICLE THAT INCLUDED 4 WHEEL ABS. AFTER BRAKES FAILED AND FLUID LEAKED OUT OF REAR BRAKE LINES NEITHER THE ABS OR "BRAKE" WARNING LIGHTS WERE INDICATED ON THE DASH CONTROL PANEL. I AM CONCERNED THAT A BRAKE LINE FAILED AND NO INDICATION OF FAILURE SHOWED ON THE CONTROL PANEL. WITH THE FAILURE NOT UNDER ANY STOPPING FUNCTION (VEHICLE WAS ALREADY STOPPED) AND THERE WAS NO REPORT OF FAILURE WITH THE CONTROL PANEL THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE IF BRAKES FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND FIRST NOTICE IS COMPLETE LOSS OF PEDAL WILL CAUSE ACCIDENT OR AT LEAST LOSS OF CONFIDENCE AND OR CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE ALL RECORDS OF REPAIR OVER THE HISTORY OF THE TRUCK. I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT A BRAKE LINE FAILURE TOOK PLACE AT ALL. I HAVE OWNED DOZENS OF VEHICLES OVER MY DRIVING LIFE AND HAVE HAD VEHICLES WITH WELL OVER 200,000 MILES WITH NO BRAKE LINE FAILURES. IF THIS IS NOT A DEFECT IN DESIGN OR WORKMANSHIP, THEN THE DEFECT HAS TO BE IN INFERIOR MATERIAL QUALITY THAT SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED IN THIS IMPORTANT FUNCTION REQUIRED FOR OPERATING A VEHICLE.
