TWO MINUTES AFTER EXITING THE PA TURNPIKE DRIVING THROUGH MY NEIGHBORHOOD. HAD TO STOP AT THE SIGN ON MY CORNER. APPLIED BRAKES BUT LINE BURST AND PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. CAR WOULD NOT STOP BUT FORTUNATELY WAS ABLE TO NAVIGATE THE TURN AND COAST TO MY HOME WHILE DOWNSHIFTING (AUTOMATIC) AND APPLYING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. NARROWLY AVOIDED HITTING A CAR AT THE INTERSECTION. THEN INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS CORRODED, CAUSING BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS YET TO BE REPAIRED.
