2001 Honda Accord service brakes, hydraulic problems

“VEHICLE DEVELOPED LEAKS IN BRAKE LINE AND FUEL LINE IN REGION BELOW FLOOR PAN. THIS WAS DUE TO RUST-THROUGH. SERVICE ADVISOR INFORMED ME THAT THIS CONDITION HAS BEEN SHOWING UP LATELY, AND SHOWED ME AN ASSEMBLY THAT HAD BEEN RECENTLY REPLACED ON A SIMILAR VEHICLE. VEHICLE WAS IMPOUNDED BY DEALER BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL TOTAL FAILURE OF SYSTEMS. VEHICLE REQUIRED ALMOST TWO WEEKS TO REPAIR BECAUSE HONDA HAD A NATIONAL BACKORDER ON THE REPLACEMENT PARTS. THIS SUGGESTS TO ME THAT THERE MAY BE A SUDDEN DEMAND FOR THESE PARTS. *KB”
