Consumer Description

ON MARCH 12 2012 I WAS TRAVELING DOWN A ROAD GOING TO WORK WHEN A VEHICLE PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME. DRIVER DID NOT SEE ME THEREFORE KEPT ON GOING SO I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BRAKES AND SWERVED TO THE LEFT AVOIDING A CRASH.. AT THAT TIME WHEN I HIT MY BRAKES THE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. THE ABS WAS ACTIVATED BUT IT TOOK CONSIDERABLY LONGER TO STOP THE TRUCK SINCE I HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING EFFORT... I TOOK IT TO A SHOP TO HAVE IT FIXED AND IT WAS DETERMINED THAT ONE OF THE 4 LINES THAT WERE CLUSTERED TOGETHER ON THE FRAME BETWEEN THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE ABS CONTROLLER HAD BURST. ALL 4 OF THE LINES WERE VERY RUSTY. IN ADDITION, TODAY MARCH 16 2012 I WENT BY THE SHOP TO SEE WHAT THEY HAD DONE ON THE REPAIR.. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT HE HAD REPAIRED THE LINE AND WHEN HE WAS BLEEDING THE BRAKES, ANOTHER ONE OF THE LINES HAD BURST. *TR
