Luckily, i was going slow on the ramp with the traffic. There had been no indication prior to this incident…

Corded brake lines caused the fluid to be loss upon stopping causing the brakes to go out, this happened in 2012 with all the main brake lines to all 4 wheels having to be replaced, then again in 2013 the brake lines attached to the rear differential, corroded causing a rapid loss in brake fluid and, and loss of brakes. *js

Vehicle was parked in my driveway when i noticed brake fluid leaking under it. Upon further inspection, i saw that the brake line was corroded and ruptured. When i started the vehicle and backed it back and forth in the driveway i noticed that the brakes only worked in the front from this point. I replaced the ruptured brake line but i am worried that the remaining brake lines may rupture at any point. *js
