Consumer Description

REAR METAL BRAKE LINE BURST WHILE MANEUVERING IN PARKING LOT, LOSING REAR SERVICE BRAKES. BRAKE FLUID WAS GUSHING FROM BURST LINE ONTO GROUND. A QUICK EXAMINATION REVEALED BURST BRAKE LINE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED. VEHICLE PASSED STATE INSPECTION AND 27 POINT SAFETY INSPECTION PERFORMED BY GM DEALER THIS PAST JULY. DURING THE FIRST WEEK OF AUGUST, I TOWED MY SON'S DISABLED VEHICLE BACK FROM CENTRAL PA.(140 MILES). WITH THE TOW DOLLY AND HIS CAR - I WAS PULLING CLOSE TO 4000 POUNDS. CAN YOU IMAGINE IF THIS LINE BURST ON INTERSTATE 80 AT 55 MPH? WHEN DOES THIS HORROR END?
