Consumer Description

IT STARTED TO CLICK AND SQUEAK. I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE PEDAL BRACKET SNAPPED WHEN ME AND MY CHILDREN ALMOST GOT HIT BY A COAL TRUCK BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAD TO TAKE IT TO MY DADS SHOP AND WELD IT WHICH I'M STILL UNSURE OF HOW LONG IT WILL LAST SINCE THE METAL IS THIN AND IT IS SQUEAKING AGAIN. *TR
