THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD A LONG HISTORY OF NEEDED BRAKE WORK. BRAKES WERE RECENTLY CHANGED AGAIN AND IT STILL HAS SOFT BRAKING AS WELL AS PULSATING BRAKING. BOTH OF THESE FACTORS LEAD TO DANGEROUSLY SLOW STOPPING EVEN WITH PRACTICALLY NEW PARTS.

WHILE COMING TOWARDS AN INTERSECTION, THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME HIT HER BRAKES SUDDENLY. I REACTED BY HITTING ME BRAKES AND WHILE I WAS SLOWING DOWN MY BRAKE PETAL SUDDENLY WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE FLOOR. I WAS TRAVELING APPROX 5-10 MPH WHEN I HIT THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. AFTER MOVING OUR VEHICLES FROM THE ROAD, I DISCOVERED BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM UNDER MY ENGINE. I INSPECTED THE BRAKE FLUID RESERVOIR AND THE MASTER CYLINDER... BOTH LOOKED NORMAL. I GOT UNDER THE FRONT OF MY TRUCK AND I COULD SEE BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN SPRAYED ALL OVER THE LOWER FRONT OF THE ENGINE AND FRONT BUMPER. I COULD SEE THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE VERY RUSTY. BEFORE THE ACCIDENT THERE WASN'T ANY INDICATION THAT I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES. I SEEMS AS THOUGH THE BRAKE LINE JUST FAILED. I WAS TRAVELING ON A LOCAL ROAD IN A STRAIGHT LINE APPROX 30-35 MPH WHEN THE ACCIDENT OCCURRED.
