Consumer Description

I HAD MY 2000 FORD WINDSTAR'S TRANSMISSION SERVICED AND WHEN I PICKED IT BACK UP THE TECHNICIAN POINTED OUT TO ME THAT I AM LEAKING BRAKE FLUID FROM A SWITCH ON THE MASTER CYLINDER. I WAS INFORMED THAT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE LOSS OF FLUID CAN CAUSE MY BRAKES TO STOP WORKING. THE TECHNICIAN ALSO INFORMED ME THAT BRAKE FLUID IS FLAMMABLE AND MIGHT CAUSE A FIRE IF IT IS NOT REPAIRED RIGHT AWAY. *TR
