MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND THE LINE RUBBED THROUGH AND LEAKED OUT. SHE WAS GOING 70 M.P.H. THE BRAKE LINES ON DRIVERS SIDE AT REAR WHEEL WERE RUBBING AND RUBBED THROUGH. THIS COULD HAVE KILLED HER. IT IS A FAULTY DESIGN, AND HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH RUST.

Reading this record
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
