I LEFT MY RESIDENCE TO RUN AN ERRRAND AND A DEER RAN OUT IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE. I HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL HARD TO AVOID HITTING THE DEER AND A BRAKE LINE RUPTURED. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOP AND CAREFULLY RETURNED HOME WITH THE BRAKES BARELY WORKING. UPON INSPECTION, THE BRAKE LINES, WHICH ARE CLUSTERED TOGETHER UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE ARE COMPLETED CORRODED. I CAN'T EVEN TELL WHICH ONE RUPTURED DUE TO ALL OF THE CORROSION. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE SINCE NEW AND TAKE GOOD CARE OF IT. THE BRAKE LINES LOOK LIKE THEY ARE 30 YEA…
