The technique for fastening the fitting to the hose is what makes some prone to failure. Supposedly there are D.O.T.-certified hoses that should be just as long-lasting as the standard rubber hoses.
The braided lines on my Sentra have been there since 1997. No problems yet, though the car has hardly been driven since 2002.
