Consumer Description

1999 DODGE 2500 4X4 DIESEL BRAKE LINE CORROSION LED TO TWO FAILURES RESULTING IN NO ACCIDENTS. THE BRAKE LINE MATERIAL USED HAS NO ANTI CORROSION PROPERTIES AND CORRODES IN THE MIDWEST SALT BELT FROM PURCHASE. THE DIESEL LINES ADJACENT TO THE BRAKE LINES ARE NOT CORRODED SINCE THEY ARE MADE OF A MATERIAL WHICH HAS CORROSION RESISTANT PROPERTIES. ALL BRAKE LINES MUST BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS ISSUE ESPECIALLY IN TOWING OR EMERGENCY BRAKING SITUATIONS. PROFESSIONAL OPINION WOULD BE THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAVE ONLY A 3-4 YEAR SAFE LIFETIME. *TR
