What could cause both the upper and lower radiator hoses to collapse?
The radiator and hoses are about 3 yrs old, thermostat 2 yrs, water pump 4 yrs, pressure cap 3 yrs, heater core is original?

Additionally,before this issue, I was only getting heat a throttle not at idle. I reverse flushed the system and both heater hoses are hot.
