Consumer Description

IN THE PROCESS OF EXITING FROM OUR HOME, WHILE TOWING A LARGE BOAT, A BRAKE LINE RUPTURED RELEASING THE BRAKE FLUID AND CAUSING A COMPLETE FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM. I INSPECTED THE RUPTURED AREA AND FOUND THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND READY TO FAIL AT ANY TIME IN THE NEAR FUTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY TO HAVE THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED. ESTIMATED COST IS $950. HAD THIS FAILURE HAPPENED ONE MINUTE LATER THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC! *TR
