Consumer Description

THE MASTER CYLINDER BRAKE LINE ON MY 1998 DODGE DAKOTA TRUCK FAILED COMPLETELY AND SUDDENLY UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS (LIGHT BRAKING). UPON INSPECTION, ALL FRONT BRAKE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE DISTRIBUTION JUNCTION AND FROM THE DISTRIBUTION JUNCTION TO THE FRONT BRAKES (LEFT AND RIGHT) WERE HEAVILY CORRODED. LAST WINTER, THE BRAKE LINE LEADING FROM THE DISTRIBUTION JUNCTION TO THE REAR BRAKES FAILED UNDER SIMILAR CIRCUMSTANCES, HOWEVER; SOME BRAKING ABILITY REMAINED. THESE TWO FAILURES OVER A RELATIVELY SHORT TIME-FRAME LEAD ME TO BELIEVE IT MAY BE A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WITH ALL METAL BRAKE LINES. *TR
