They get old and cracked and can fail/swell resulting in weak brakes.

I had my left rear flex line fail on my 300D during a hard stop in traffic (on I-70). Fortunately, I didn't hit anything. I noticed that the failed line runs only a few inches from the exhaust pipe. I suspect the heat from the exhaust shortens the life of that line. It appeared to be significantly more dried/cracked than the line on the other side.
