Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND APPLIED MY BRAKES. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY, I HAD ENOUGH TIME TO PUT THE TRUCK IN LOW GEAR AND COME TO A SAFE STOP. I CHECKED THE BRAKE FLUID AND THE RESERVOIR WAS EMPTY. IT APPEARS THAT BRAKE FLUID IS LEAKING FROM A BRAKE LINE UNDER THE BED OF THE PICKUP NEAR THE GAS TANK. THE BREAK IS NOT VISIBLE BECAUSE THE GAS TANK IS IN THE WAY. I HAVE NOT HAD IT REPAIRED YET. THE TRUCK IS A 1999 DODGE PICKUP WITH ONLY 29000 MILES. *JB
