Consumer Description

WHILE MY BUDDY WAS BACKING MY BOAT TRAILER AND BOAT INTO THE WATER FOR ME, HE YELLED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY, THE VEHICLE WAS SLIDING DOWN THE BOAT RAMP. HE WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE GOING INTO THE WATER. I TOLD HIM I JUST HAD THE BRAKES DONE THIS FALL AND HE SAID THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I GOT IN TO PULL THE TRUCK UP AND THE PEDAL DID GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. A LARGE PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID WAS ON THE GROUND AT THE BOAT LAUNCH. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAD CORRODED SO BAD, THEY RUSTED RIGHT THROUGH AND LOST ALMOST ALL OF THE BRAKE FLUID. THE LINES WERE SO BAD, I NEEDED TO GET THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE SYSTEM REPLACED. *TR
