Consumer Description
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 55MPH TRAFFIC SUDDENLY CAME TO A STOP. I HAD TO MAKE A PANIC STOP AT WHICH TIME THE BRAKE SYSTEM FAILED. THE PEDAL SANK TO THE FLOOR, THANKFULLY I PULLED THE SHIFT LEVER TO LOW AND PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON TO KEEP FROM HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I GOT HOME I JACKED UP THE CAR TO TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WAS THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THE BRAKE LINES COMPLETELY RUSTED, AND A RUPTURE IN THE ACTUAL LINE. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS APPEARS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH CADILLAC BRAKE LINES(USING CHEAP MATERIALS). *TR
