Consumer Description

I INSTALLED NEW REAR BRAKES, THEN I STEPPED ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, I CHECK AROUND AND FOUND THAT THE STEEL BRAKE TUBING WAS RUSTED OUT AND SPRUNG A LEAK, REPAIRED TWO OF THE FOUR STEEL TUBINGS,NOW IT WAS LUCKY FOR ME I WAS IN THE BACK LAWN,. NOW IF I WAS ON THE ROAD WHO KNOWS WHAT COULD HAPPENED. HOW CAN A BIG COMPANY LIKE CHRYSLER GET AWAY WITH INSTALLING STEEL BRAKE LINES. IT SHOULD BE ILLEGAL TO INSTALL SUCH A HAZARD.. I WANDER HOW MANY ACCIDENTS HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THIS AND IF ANY ONE DIED BECAUSE OF THIS, THEY SHOULD BE SUED BIG TIME TONY CAPUTO PS THIS IS ACCIDENT,MY SON CALLED ME AND SAID HIS RV CHRYSLER DID THE SAME THING.HE WAS ON THE ROAD, HE MANAGED TO GET HOME OK, THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL ON THIS, IT IS VERY VERY VERY DANGEROUS. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
