Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
Owner Narrative
BOTH THE DRIVER SIDE AND REAR BRAKE LINES, BECAUSE OF RUST, BURST AT THE SAME TIME. IT WAS LUCKY THE CAR WAS NOT ON THE ROAD.I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE LINES AND HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT CALIPERS BECAUSE THE BLEEDING NIPPLED WERE COMPLETELY GONE DUE TO RUST. THE REAR CALIPERS WERE IN GOOD SHAPE.OVER THE COURSE OF OWNERSHIP, I HAVE HAD TO FORCEFULLY REMOVE THE TIRES FROM THE HUB BECAUSE THEY WERE RUSTED TO THE HUB. AGAIN I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID THIS WORK AT HOME AND WOULD HAVE BEEN IN SERIOUS TROUBLE HAD I BEEN FORCED TO CHANGE TIRES DUE TO A FLAT. IT ALSO APPEARS THE TRUCK FRAME IS SHOWING ADVANCE RUSTING FOR ITS AGE AND MILEAGE. *TR
