Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING FROM HOME TO GO TO MY PARENT HOME. I HAD TO SLOW DOWN DUE TO TRAFFIC. MY BRAKES FAILED. I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN BY DOWN SHIFTING AND HAND BRAKES AND HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE REPAIR GARAGE. THE REPAIR GARAGE FOUND THAT THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR BRAKE CYLINDER HAD BLOWN OUT AND WAS SQUIRTING BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER. THIS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAD HAPPENED. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN JULY 2007 WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE CYLINDER HAD FAILED ON THE FREEWAY, CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE - ODI # 10304293. PLEASE INVESTIGATE AND TAKE ACTION TO RECALL THIS SERIOUS LIFE DAMAGING COMPONENT ON A OTHERWISE GOOD VEHICLE. *TR
