Consumer Description

1 OPERATING HOUR AFTER COMING DOWN A 7% GRADE MY 1999 F350 TRUCK WITH CAMPER SUFFERED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE DUE TO A CORRODED BRAKE LINE. THE FAULT OCCURRED IN A CLIP WHERE MOISTURE AND ABRASIVES HAD BEEN HELD AGAINST THE STEEL BRAKE LINE. NEARBY DIESEL FUEL LINES EXHIBITED NO RUST. BECAUSE FORD USED STEEL THAT CAN RUST FOR THE CRITICAL BRAKE LINE, MY FAMILY ALMOST LOST OUR LIVES AND POTENTIALLY CAUSED THE DEATHS OF OTHERS. THE REPLACEMENT LEFT PAR OF THE ORIGINAL BRAKE LINE IN PLACE. *TR
