Consumer Description

THE METAL LINE RUNNING FROM THE ABS/PROPORTIONING VALVE TO THE REAR BRAKES IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND FAILED WHILE DRIVING HOME. THERE IS ALMOST NO BRAKING LEFT ON THE TRUCK. A STOP FROM ~50MPH INCLUDING DOWNSHIFTING TO L1 AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE RESULTED IN STOPPING MORE THAN 10 FEET OVER THE LINE. THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS MOST OF THE WAY TO THE FLOOR EVEN AFTER SEVERAL PUMPS. THIS IS THE SECOND FAILURE. TWO OF THE BRAKE LINES RUNNING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE FAILED SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND WERE REPLACED. *TT
