Consumer Description

WAS MOVING TRUCK INTO DRIVE WAY AFTER IT HAD BEEN PARKED IN THE STREET. UPON PULLING INTO THE DRIVE WAY I NOTICED I HAD NO BRAKES. TURNED TRUCK OFF AND CHECKED UNDER TRUCK TO FIND THAT THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM UNDER THE TRUCK BY THE LEFT REAR WHEEL. UPON CALLING MY MECHANIC I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS A NORMAL THING WITH MY YEAR TRUCK AND THAT IT WAS BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE NHTSA BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS. OH AND ALSO IT WOULD COST ALMOST 800.00 DOLLARS TO REPAIR BECAUSE THE MECHANIC WILL NOT JUST REPLACE ONE LINE BECAUSE ONCE ONE GOES THEY ALL START TO GO BASED ON HIS EXPERIENCE WITH MY YEAR TRUCK. HE DOES THIS FOR SAFETY REASONS. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY MECHANIC TO BE REPAIRED. ANOTHER 94.00 DOLLARS. AFTER AGAIN TALKING TO MY MECHANIC HE TELLS ME THE BRAKE LINE HAS CORRODED. *TR
