Consumer Description

SLOWING DOWN TO PARK, PUSHED BRAKES, PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. BARELY STOPPED BEFORE PINNING SOMEONE BETWEEN MY VEHICLE AND ANOTHER TRUCK. REAR BRAKE LINE BURST BELOW DRIVER SEAT, BRAKE FLUID PUDDLE UNDER TRUCK. UPON INSPECTION, ALL 4 BRAKE LINES RUNNING ALONG THE FRAME TOTALLY RUSTED, ABOUT TO BURST. NEED TO REPLACE ALL LINES ON WHOLE TRUCK. ON THE FLATBED TOWTRUCK, NOTICED THE DRIVER REAR LEAF SPRING WHERE IT WRAPS AROUND THE BUSHING WAS MISSING THE TOP HALF. THIS IS WHERE FORCE IS TRANSMITTED FROM AXLE TO FRAME (BACK IS A HANGER / PIVOT). THE WHOLE REAR AXLE COULD HAVE TORN OFF. NOTICED WHERE IT HAD CRACKED AND HAD RUSTED 1/2 THROUGH BEFORE FALLING OFF, LIKELY SOMETIME RECENTLY. *TR
