Consumer Description

WHILE BLEEDING THE PASS. REAR BRAKES I HAD A VERY SUDDEN LOSE OF PRESSURE ON THE PEDDLE AND THE PEDDLE WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR OF THE TRUCK WHEN PRESSED. AFTER LOOKING UNDER THE TRUCK I NOTICED THAT I HAD A BRAKE LINE RUPTURE ALONG THE FRAME UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. AFTER FURTHER INSPECTION I REALIZED THAT ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES IN THAT AREA WERE VERY RUSTED AND IN NEED OF REPLACEMENT. LUCKILY I WAS NOT DRIVING THE TRUCK AND NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. *TR
