[QUOTE="Dennis Shelley, post: 1026011, member: 58803"] 2001 ST. Saturday, driving in town, approached a stop sign the brake pedal had pressure, then went to the floor. Mashed the parking brake, the ST stopped in time. Limped it into the parking lot at that corner. The drivers side front flex brake hose gave way and ALL the FLUID went out the hose break. I thought this was two system braking. In that if the front or rear failed the other was on reserve. Not this time. Had no warning. After the failure the low fluid light came on. Only 500 miles earlier changed the oil and checked brake, P/S and coolant. Lucky it was on a level city street, not on a mountain pass going down hill. Does the ST have two braking systems??? The fluid reservoir in mine is one non-segregated unit. thanks for your input. Dennis [/QUOTE]
