Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
REAR BRAKE LINE BLEW WHEN TRYING TO APPLY BRAKES. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS OR ANYTHING PEDAL JUST WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. HAD TO SWERVE OFF THE ROAD INTO AN EMBANKMENT TO AVOID A COLLISION AT A RED LIGHT! MECHANIC SAID THAT ALL MY BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED AND IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE ANOTHER ONE WAS TO FAIL.
