Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK, I TRIED TO STOP MY CAR AND THE BRAKES WENT TO THE FLOOR, THE CAR STARTED SMOKING, AND I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN LOW SO IT WOULD SLOW DOWN. AND WHEN IT SLOWED I FINALLY GOT IT TO STOP. THE MECHANIC SAID THE CAR WAS PUT TOGETHER FUNNY AND THAT THE BRAKE LINE CORRODED CAUSE ITS OVER THE EXHAUST. I DIDN'T GET HURT BUT I COULD HAVE, BUT IF IT WERE SOMEONE WHO DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO SLOW DOWN A CAR, OR A NEW DRIVER IT COULD HAVE BEEN BAD. *TR
