Consumer Description

WITHOUT WARNING, WHILE DRIVING LAST SPRING, 2011 THE BRAKE LINE BROKE AND I LOST BRAKES SUDDENLY WHILE STOPPING FOR TRAFFIC. THE DEALER REPLACED STEEL BRAKE LINE ON LEFT SIDE OF REAR AXLE AT MY EXPENSE. TODAY, WHILE STOPPING HARD IN TRAFFIC, THE PEDDLE SUDDENLY WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I LOST ALL BRAKES. THE STEEL BRAKE LINE ALONG THE FRAME, FROM THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK TO THE REAR IS LEAKING FLUID FROM A BURST IN THE STEEL LINE. AGAIN, NO BRAKES. I PURCHASED THIS TRUCK IN 2002 AND ITS HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REGULAR SERVICE. *TR
