Consumer Description

I HAVE OWNED THIS PICKUP SINCE IT HAD ABOUT 15,000 MILES ON IT. I KEEP IT IN A GARAGE AND DRIVE IT ABOUT 5K MILES A YEAR. I HAD A BRAKE FAILURE AND ALMOST KILLED MY ENTIRE FAMILY DRIVING BACK FROM NH. I HIT THE BRAKES ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE BRAKE LINES RUPTURED CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GO RIGHT TO THE FLOOR AND LOSE ALL BRAKE PRESSURE. I ALMOST HAD A HEART ATTACK. WHY DON'T THEY MAKE THESE OUT STAINLESS STEEL, ALUMINUM OR A NON CORROSIVE MATERIAL? SOMEONE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IMMEDIATELY. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS. SERIOUSLY, SOMEONE COULD HAVE DIED. *TR
