I WAS BACKING THE VEHICLE INTO THE GARAGE. WHILE MANEUVERING BACK AND FORTH I STEP ON THE BRAKE PETAL TO SHIFT BACK TO FORWARD. THE VEHICLE STOPPED THEN THE PETAL WENT TO THE FLOOR BOARD ABRUPTLY. THE VEHICLE MOVED AND STUCK THE HOUSE. THE REAR BRAKE LINE HAD SPLIT OPEN AT THE ABS BRAKING VALVE. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES AT THE VALVE WERE SEVERELY ROTTED. HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE STEEL LINES TO MAKE THE VEHICLE SAFE.

WIFE WAS DRIVING TRUCK AT APPROX 30 MPH WHEN DIC ILLUMINATED WITH SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM MESSAGE. SHE THEN PRESSED THE PEDAL AND IT WENT TO THE FLOOR. SHE WAS ABLE TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE WHICH WOULD NOT STOP FROM HITTING ANYTHING/ANYONE. ONLY AFTER PUMPING THE PEDAL DID THE TRUCK STOP.
