What owners wrote
This is a police vehicle. During an accident the ABS system was inoperative and the brakes locked and may have contributed to the accident. Please describe.
The brake line from the ABS pump to the right front brake rusted through which resulted in the loss of all fluid in the master cylinder. Further inspection found the two rear brake lines also severely rusted. The location of the failure and the extensively rusted rear lines was directly under the master cylinder, on top of the chassis rail.
