Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
WHILE MOVING FORWARD IN LINE AT A DRIVE THROUGH MY BRAKE PEDAL SUDDENLY WHEN STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND WOULD BARELY STOP MY TRUCK. BY THE TIME I RETURNED HOME I HAD TO BRAKE WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. I THEN HAD IT TOWED TO 4 DIFFERENT MECHANICS WHO WOULD NOT FIX MY BRAKES FOR UNDER $4000 DOLLARS DUE TO LIABILITY REASONS. APPARENTLY THE "STAINLESS STEEL" HARD LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER HAD ALL RUSTED OUT COMPLETELY. IF I HAD BEEN ON THE ROAD FAR AWAY FROM HOME THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR
