Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING MY 1997 CHEVY BLAZER, I WAS TURNING TO THE LEFT OFF THE HIGHWAY AT 60MPH. I APPLIED MY BRAKES WHICH STARTED MY DECELERATION, SUDDENLY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT THE FLOOR. I PUMPED THE BRAKE PEDAL ONE MORE TIME WITH NO RESISTANCE. I HAD TO APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE AND STARTED MAKING LARGE S-TURNS TO BURN OFF THE SPEED AND MANUALLY DOWNSHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER I FINALLY STOPPED THE VEHICLE I CHECKED THE BRAKE LINES AND FOUND OUT THAT THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE METAL BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND WAS SPRAYING BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER THE PLACE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN 3 MONTHS THAT THE BRAKE LINES HAVE BURST ON THIS 1997 CHEVY BLAZER. THE LAST TIME THE REAR MAIN BRAKE LINE BURST. *TR
