Consumer Description

BRAKE LINE (BETWEEN FRONT CALIPER AND ABS BLOCK) RUPTURED WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT APPROX. 35 MPH. TOTAL SYSTEM FAILURE WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS OR PEDAL SOFTNESS PRIOR TO PEDAL GOING TO THE FLOOR. I DID MANAGE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND PULLING OFF OF THE ROAD INTO SOFTER SOIL. I NEARLY STRUCK SEVERAL VEHICLES AND HAD TO DRIVE OFF OF THE ROADWAY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. THIS VEHICLE IS USED EXTENSIVELY BY MY SON. IF THIS FAILURE HAD OCCURRED WHILE HE WAS DRIVING THE RESULT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. HE HAD JUST RETURNED FROM DRIVING THIS VEHICLE IN THE MOUNTAINS OF NEW HAMPSHIRE ON A SKI TRIP THE PREVIOUS WEEKEND. ALL BRAKE LINES IN VEHICLE SHOW HEAVY CORROSION AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. *TR
