Let's just say I'm happy that it didn't happen on the highway but I had a brake line bust on me last night. Luckily, I was already stopped at the light and didn't hit anything. I don't know what I would have done without my dak.

I had a brake line on my drivers side rear that blew on me twice within 6 monthes, I don't know if this had anything to do with it but I put new rear brakes on and when I took it apart the brake parts were all over. My chrysler Newyorker just blew one the other day. I am very easy on my brakes so I can't figure out why they blow.
