Consumer Description

GOT IN TRUCK STARTED IT, DROVE TO THE TOP OF MILE DRIVEWAY APPLIED BRAKES. THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I ROLLED INTO THE ROAD BEFORE I COULD APPLY THE PARKING BRAKE. AN ONCOMING CAR HAD TO BRAKE, SO AS TO AVOID HITTING ME. I GOT THE TRUCK BACK IN TO THE DRIVEWAY AND RODE THE PARK BRAKE DOWN THE DRIVE. CALLED A WRECKER TO TOW TO NEAREST GARAGE. THE BRAKE LINES RUPTURED IN THE DIFFERENT PLACES, LOST ALL BRAKE FLUID.
