Consumer Description

NOTICED BRAKES VERY SPONGY ON 1999 DODGE RAM WHILE COMING TO A STOP LIGHT. WAS ABLE TO STOP WITHOUT ACCIDENT, ALTHOUGH STOPPING DISTANCE WAS ABOUT 15 FEET PAST THE LINE. WAS NEAR HOME, SO DROVE VERY SLOWLY TO MY RESIDENCE WITH VERY LITTLE BRAKING ABILITY. FOUND BRAKE FLUID DRIPPING FROM DRIVERSIDE VEHICLE FRAME. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND SEVERELY CORRODED BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED. I REPLACED THE BRAKE LINE AND HAVE SINCE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THESE VEHICLES, AS INDICATED ON MANY INTERNET FORMS FOR THESE TRUCKS. I STILL HAVE THE CORRODED BRAKE LINE. *TR
