Consumer Description

NO SPECIFIC CRASHES THAT I AM PERSONALLY AWARE OF, BUT THERE HAVE SURELY BEEN MANY, POSSIBLY ATTRIBUTED TO OTHER CAUSES. THE FAILURE-SEVERELY RUSTED BRAKE FLUID LINES WHICH HAVE CAUSED LOSS OF BRAKING. IT OCCURS VERY FREQUENTLY IN THE 'RUST BELT STATES', IE MASSACHUSETTS FOR EXAMPLE. REPAIR INVOLVES REPLACING RUSTED LINES AND RELATED PARTS, USUALLY AT SUBSTANTIAL COST TO VEHICLE OWNER. THE REASON FOR REPORTING THIS PROBLEM IS THAT I AM A REPAIR SHOP OWNER WITH OVER 40 YEARS IN BUSINESS, AND I AM SEEING MORE OF THIS PROBLEM EVERY DAY. IT CONSTITUTES A SUBSTANTIAL PERCENTAGE OF MY SHOP'S BUSINESS. *TR
