Consumer Description

WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT, WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY RADIO WENT OUT, MY GAUGES STARTED TO GO CRAZY, THEN MY TRUCK HAD SHUT OFF AND TURNED BACK ON. AFTER THAT I NOTICED SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD WENT TO PRESS MY BRAKES, I HAD NO BRAKES. SO I TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT, WHERE NOW MY GAUGES HAD PEGGED ALL TO ONE SIDE, MORE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD, AND NOW I STILL DIDN'T HAVE NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. SO I SLAMMED THE TRUCK INTO PARK, THEN SHUT IT OFF. I POPPED THE HOOD AND NOTICED A SMALL FIRE UNDER THE MASTER CYLINDER AND THE BRAKE LINES GOING TO THE MASTER CYLINDER WHERE FIRE ENGINE RED. TRIED PUTTING OUT THE FIRE BUT HAD A DEFECTIVE FIRE EXTINGUISHER. THE FIRE SPREAD AND HAS SEVERELY DAMAGED THE TRUCK, IT IS AT THE POINT OF NO RETURN. *TR
