What owners wrote
Brake modulating system spontaneously caught on fire while parked in my driveway. Once the fire was put out, the car would no longer start.
I was two blocks from home when I applied brakes as I approached a curve. Brake pedal went to the floor boards. Using low gear and parking brake I managed to get the suburban home with no incident. Brake lines front to back were replaced by service center. Cause ,rust thru.
