Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH ON A LOCAL HIGHWAY WHEN HE NEEDED TO BRAKE TO SLOW DOWN FOR A VEHICLE WHO TURNED ON UP AHEAD WHEN THE BRAKE LINE BLEW. PEDAL IMMEDIATELY WENT SOFT. HE BARELY AVOIDED COLLISION AND HAD TO PULL OFF INTO A NEARBY CHURCH PARKING LOT. NOW WE ARE OUT THE EXPENSE OF HAVING THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED. THE RUST ISSUE, WHICH HAS BEEN COMPLAINED ABOUT IN ALL OF THE OTHERS, IS THE SAME HERE THAT LED TO THIS. THOUGH IT HAS HIGH MILEAGE, THE TRUCK HAS BEEN VERY WELL TAKEN CARE OF AS IT IS A REGENCY EDITION SILVERADO.
