Consumer Description

VEHICLE STOPPED WHILE WAITING FOR FUEL PUMP. PRESSED BRAKE PEDAL, AND BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. DURING FILL-UP, INSPECTED UNDER VEHICLE AND SAW FLUID DRIPPING FROM FRONT END. IDENTIFIED LIQUID AS BRAKE FLUID. REAR BRAKES STILL FUNCTIONED MINIMALLY. TOOK INTO MECHANIC. FRONT BRAKE LINE HAD FAILED. NEARLY ENTIRE BRAKE LINE WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. AT MECHANIC'S SUGGESTION BASED ON SAFETY, REPLACED ALL BRAKE LINES -- $2100 (APPROX $300 PARTS, $1700 LABOR). MECHANIC APPLIED UNDERCOAT SPRAY TO BRAKE LINE AS RUST PROTECTION. I KEPT A SECTION OF BRAKE LINE. NOTE: PREVIOUSLY OWNED 1991 CHEVROLET C1500 HAD SIMILAR FAILURE ON THE BRAKE LINES AROUND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL. *KB
