Consumer Description

PULLED INTO PARKING SPACE, APPLIED BRAKE AND PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO FLOOR. TRUCK ROLLED FORWARD INTO BUMPER OF PARKED CAR. UPON INSPECTION, FOUND STEEL BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH, JUST ABOVE FLEX LINE RUNNING TO DRIVER'S SIDE FRONT BRAKE, WITH BRAKE FLUID FLOWING OUT OF CORROSION HOLE. THERE WAS NEVER ANY INDICATION THAT THE TRUCK HAD ANY PROBLEMS AT ALL WITH THE BRAKES. I WAS ON MY WAY TO THE HIGHWAY AND AM THANKING GOD I DECIDED TO MAKE A QUICK STOP TO MY LOCAL FOOD STORE FIRST. IT COULD HAVE BEEN A HUGE DISASTER! I CAN'T BELIEVE FUEL AND BRAKE LINES ARE NOT REQUIRED TO BE MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL - MOST ESPECIALLY IN STATES THAT SALT THE ROADS IN WINTER! *TR
