Consumer Description

MY BRAKE LINES FAILED TWICE. ONCE IN 2008 AND TODAY 8/8/11. FAILURE DUE TO LINES RUSTING (CHEAP METAL TUBING) AND BURSTING WHEN BRAKES APPLIED. MECHANIC EVEN STATED HE COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT GM WAS USING INFERIOR METAL TUBING. HE SHOWED ME A PIECE OF THE LINE AND IT SNAPPED INTO TWO PIECES, I MEAN IT DIDN'T EVEN BEND IT JUST SNAPPED. *TR
