Consumer Description

WE HAD DRIVEN ABOUT 90 MILES FROM OUR MAIN HOUSE TO OUR LAKE HOUSE ON FRIDAY NIGHT-BRAKES WERE FINE. SATURDAY MORNING WE BACKED THE SIERRA UP AND HOOKED UP THE BOAT TO THE HITCH. AFTER HOOKING UP THE BOAT WHILE WE WERE PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE DROPPED THE BOAT AND DROVE THE SIERRA A FEW MILES TO THE STORE. WHILE AT THE STORE WE NOTICED A LEAK ABOVE THE GAS TANK. THE LEAK WAS BRAKE FLUID AND THE SIERRA TOOK AN ENTIRE BOTTLE OF BRAKE FLUID. WE DROVE IT THE FEW MILES BACK TO THE HOUSE AND GOT THE TRUCK TOWED HOME THE NEXT DAY. WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS DROPPED WE NOTICED RUST SO BAD ON THE FRAME THAT A SCREWDRIVER WENT THRU THE FRAME. THE FRAME COULD HAVE BUSTED APART RIGHT BEHIND THE CAB OF THE TRUCK. WE WERE EXTREMELY LUCKY THAT THERE WERE NO INJURIES. *TR
