Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
DRIVING ON WEST STONE DRIVE KINGSPORT, TN, A VEHICLE CUT ME OFF TRYING TO GET THRU A TRAFFIC LIGHT, I LOCKED MY BRAKES DOWN HARD AS I COULD, I COULD FEEL THE ABS SYSTEM WORKING, I WAS ABLE TO STOP ABOUT 12 INCHES FROM THE OTHER VEHICLE. WHEN I PULLED OUT AFTER THE LIGHT CHANGED TO GREEN, I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A SLIGHT GRADE, DEPRESSING MY BRAKE PEDAL LIGHTLY, THE PEDAL WENT ALL WAY TO THE FLOOR BOARD.. I TOOK THE TRUCK TO A LOCAL SHOP TO HAVE IT CHECKED, ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES BEHIND LEFT FRONT WHEEL HAD RUPTURED. WHEN THE MECHANIC STARTED THE REPAIRS, HE CALLED SAID ALL LINES ON THIS TRUCK WERE EXTREMELY RUSTY, (HE ASKED WHAT I WANTED TO DO) I SAID FIX IT RIGHT. IN MAKING THE REPAIRS ALL LINES WERE REPLACED.. I HAVE PICTURES OF ALL LINES THAT CAN BE SENT. I ALSO HAVE ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES THAT CAN BE LOOKED AT AND OR ANALYZED. *TR
