Consumer Description

WENT TO MOVE VEHICLE TO ATTACH LANDSCAPE TRAILER. BRAKES WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR. UPON INVESTIGATION, FOUND BRAKE FLUID ON GROUND FROM DRIVER SIDE RIGHT FRONT. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO REPAIR STATION AND ASKED MECHANIC TO REPLACE BRAKE LINE AND CHECK ALL OTHER BRAKE LINES. MECHANIC ENDED UP REPLACING 80% OF LINES DUE TO CORROSION. THIS COULD HAVE ENDED UP RESULTING IN AN ACCIDENT IF THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING WITH THE TRAILER ATTACHED CARRYING ATV'S. IN ADDITION, THE CABLE HOLDING THE SPARE TIRE HAD TO BE CUT IN ORDER TO GET ACCESS TO REAR BRAKE LINES. THE CABLE WAS RUSTED MEANING THAT A TIRE COULD NOT BE CHANGED IN THE EVENT OF A FLAT. *TR
