Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE I WENT TO STOP AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR INDICATING A LOSS IN BRAKE FLUID PRESSURE. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO INVESTIGATE THE MATTER AND FOUND BRAKE FLUID EVERYWHERE AND A HIGHLY CORRODED BRAKE LINE JUST TO THE REAR OF THE ABS HYDRAULIC UNIT. IT WAS EVIDENT THAT WAS THE SPOT OF THE LINE FAILURE DUE TO THE HIGH AMOUNT OF BRAKE FLUID THAT HAD BEEN SHOT OUT OF THE LINE ABOVE IT. UPON INSPECTION I HAVE FOUND THAT THE OTHER BRAKE LINES ARE ALSO HIGHLY CORRODED. *TR
