Consumer Description

I STARTED VEHICLE, DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL, I THEN PLACED THE SHIFTER INTO REVERSE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE WHEN I REALIZED THE VEHICLE WASN'T STOPPING AS USUAL. I THEN PUT THE SHIFTER INTO DRIVE AND PARKED IT . I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED ALOT OF FLUID (ON THE DRIVERS SIDE) ALL OVER THE GROUND. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO HAVE IT MOVED TO A MECHANICS LOCATION FOR FURTHER INSPECTION. THE MAIN (CORRODED) BRAKE LINE BURST CAUSING FLUID TO LEAK EVERYWHERE AND CREATING A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS LIFE THREATENING DRIVING HAZARD ( BRAKE FAILURE) HAD I NOT PARKED THE VEHICLE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT ENDING....THIS NEEDS TO INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY. *TR
