1995 Toyota Camry Brakes Problems

MY VEHICLE IS A CAMRY STATION WAGON. ON THE ABOVE DATE, I WAS BACKING MY CAR IN MY DRIVEWAY & THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR.. USING MY FLOOR JACK, I CLIMBED UNDER IT & DISCOVERED THAT THE STEEL BRAKE LINES HAD RUPTURED DUE TO RUST IN 2 LOCATIONS- ONE BENEATH A BRACKET NEAR THE FIREWALL, AND ANOTHER AT THE REAR OF THE WAGON NEAR WHERE THE VEHICLE HEIGHT "SOLENOID" IS LOCATED. SUBSEQUENTLY, I DISCOVERED AT LEAST 3 MORE CAMRYS OF 1995 OR 1995 VINTAGE(INCLUDING ONE WAGON) FOR SALE ON WASHINGTON D.C. CRAIGSLIST WITH RUSTED OUT BRAKE LINES. MY SENSE IS THAT THEE CARS ARE SO OLD BUY YET SO RELIABLE THAT PEOPLLE ARE STILL DRIVING THEM & SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IN ONE, UNLESS SOMEONE INITIATES AN INVESTIGATION. I STILL AVE THE VEHICLE IN MY YARD IN FAIRFAX STATION VA & IF AN INVESTIGATOR WANTS TO INSPECT IT, I CAN JACK IT UP FOR THEM.. I CAN BE REACHED AT [XXX]. INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
