Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
I DROVE INTO LUMBER YARD HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY WERE GONE. AS MY SPEED WAS LOW DUE TO PARKING LOT, I WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT INCIDENT. BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND ALL THE BRAKE FLUID DRAINED INTO PARKING LOT. I HAD THE BRAKE LINES REPAIRED AT CONSIDERABLE COST AS THEY WERE ALL RUSTED. THEY NEEDED TO BE CUSTOM BENT BY THE SHOP. LUCKILY NO ONE WAS HURT OR KILLED. THIS SHOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED. I HAD RUST IN ALL LINES AND THE GROUPING OF LINES OVER THE DRIVERS SIDE FRAME RAIL NEXT TO FRONT TIRE WAS THE CULPRIT AREA WITH ALL LINES RUSTED THRU. I HAD NO STOPPING POWER. I HAD TO USE PARKING BRAKE TO STOP. *JS
