What owners wrote
I was driving about 20 miles an hour on dry pavement on a clear day. The vehicle in front of me breaked, I pressed on my break and my jeep liberty did not slow at all. I continued to press harder on the break injuring my right foot and then slammed into the car in front of me.
The left front brake hose corroded (metal part) and broke near the the crimp fitting. Corrosion was not visible due to rubber sheave covering the crimp fitting connecting the hose to the metal line part.
