Consumer Description

BRAKES FAILED DUE TO A SUDDEN BRAKE LINE FAILURE. THERE HAD BEEN NO PRIOR FLUID LEAKS. THE REAR METAL BRAKE LINE UNDER THE BED RUSTED AT A CLAMP IN FRONT OF THE FUEL TANK. AS I HAVE LOOKED FURTHER INTO THIS I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND SEVERAL SHOPS SAID THAT THEY SAW THIS OFTEN WITH THESE VEHICLES ALL FAILING IN THE SAME AREA. *TR
