Consumer Description

WAS DRIVING WHEN BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT WHEN I WENT TO STOP AT A STOP SIGN. . CAUSE DUE TO RUST CORROSION . BRAKES GIVING OUT COULD HAVE CAUSED A FATAL CAR ACCIDENT . RUST HAS DAMAGED ALL BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES . RUST IS NOW MOVING UP THE VEHICLE. BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES SHOULD HAVE A PROTECTED COATING OR MADE WITH A NON CORROSION METAL. I HAD NO IDEA THAT MY BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED OUT TILL MY BRAKES GAVE OUT. THESE VEHICLE NEED TO BE RECALLED AND HAVE NEW LINES. ALSO HAVE A PROTECTED COATING APPLIED UNDER THE VEHICLE TO STOP RUST. VERY VERY DANGEROUS DRIVING AROUND NOT KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE RUST UNDER YOUR VEHICLE EATING AWAY AT YOUR BRAKE LINES AND FUEL LINES. *TR
