My brake lines rusted out on my fairly late model Chevy Pickup. Luckily, nobody died when my brake pedal went to the floor. It makes me wonder if we had a brake failure here.
I recently had a front brake line rubber hose blow out on my 2003 Jeep Liberty. Luckily I was just pulling out of a parking spot when it happened, so when the pedal sunk to the floor I was only going 3 MPH, and pumping the brakes provided some pedal resistance and braking action.
It's almost certainly a brake failure that caused this accident. That, or a strange jihad attack.
Sounds like brake failure is an option, no skid marks.
My Willys jeep brakes have to be reworked completely due to age and rust.
Hopefully in December, I will send it off for all the underneath surgery it needs.
No lift here and my back and knees don’t handle concrete well.
I like to watch the South Main Auto youtube channel, guy's an auto mechanic in upstate NY, from what I understand NY has pretty strict laws requiring safety inspections...but many get away with getting rubber-stamp certificates from shops just looking to make a quick buck...without doing the actual inspection.
Late 90's GM's trucks/vans, notorious for peeling paint, rusted-out brake/fuel lines and blown intake manifold gaskets.
...been there, done that.
