Complaint Summary
SERVICE BRAKES
Owner Narrative
THE FIRST DAY I NOTICED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT CLOSER TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE BRAKES ACTIVATED. THE SECOND DAY THE PEDAL NEARLY TOUCHED THE FLOOR AND THEN THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY NEIGHBORHOOD INDY TIRE CENTER WHERE THEY QUICKLY DETERMINED BRAKE LINE FAILURE NEAR THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. THE BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED COMPLETELY CAUSING A HOLE AND RAPID LOSS OF BRAKE FLUID. A NEW TEFLON COATED MAIN BRAKE LINE AND FITTINGS WAS INSTALLED ALONG WITH NEW BRAKE FLUID. OTHER BRAKE LINES WERE EXAMINE AND FOUND TO BE RUSTED BUT NOT COMPROMISED. THE TOTAL COST OF REPAIR WAS $461.38. *TR
