Consumer Description

NO BRAKES, BRAKE LINE RUSTED AND BURST, DUE TO IT BEING UNDER FIRE WALL, ACCORDING TO THE MECHNAIC THE FIRE WALL GETS WET AND THIS CAUSES RUST TO SET IN. THE BRAKE LINE WAS NOT VISIBLE TO MECHANIC TO DO AN INSPECTION DURING REGULAR SAFETY CHECKS. SINCE THE LINE WAS NOT VISIBLE THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL IF IT IS VIABLE. THANKFULLY WE FELT THE BRAKES GO SOFT AND STOPPED SAFELY. THIS IS A POOR DESIGN, AND AM NOT SURE HOW MANY MORE CARS ARE DESIGNED IN A SIMILAR MANNER.
