Brake line popped causing my 2003 yukon xl to rear end a car stopped at a light at 30 MPH glad I am not seriously injured scariest thing that ever happened in my life not being able to stop and had plenty of room. Time for a class action suit if not one already in place. This is lives people!
I was driving our 2003 GMC yukon xl home and the brakes went the floor, let me tell you this is very scary especially with such a large vehicle. Luckily I was a block away and made it home pumping the brakes. The brake lines broke just above the rear axle. Both lines come out of a connector and they were very severely rusty, it is tough to see unless you remove the spare tire. If you look at the same brake lines that run across the rear axle, they look fine.
