Consumer Description

I PULLED OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND COASTED INTO THE MALL PARKING LOT WHERE I HEARD A LOUD CLUNK. TRIED TO STOP THE TRUCK WITH THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. COASTING TO A FULL STOP MOMENTS LATER I PLACED THE VEHICLE IN PARK. BRAKE FLUID WAS ALL OVER THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. CALLED THE TOW TRUCK. AS HE HOOKED THE TRUCK UP HE REACHED DOWN AND PICKED UP MY CALAPER FROM BEHIND THE FRONT LEFT WHEEL. TOWED THE TRUCK TO DODGE DEALERSHIP. EVERYONE SAID THEY HAD NEVER HEARD MUCH LESS SEEN A CALAPER FALL RIGHT OFF THE BRAKE LIKE THAT. I'M LUCKY THAT MY 1, 2 AND 3 YEAR OLD ARE OK. IF THAT HAD FALLIN OFF COMPLETELY WHILE ON THE FREE-WAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN GOOD FOR ANYONE INVOLVED. *TR
