Consumer Description

WE WERE TRAVELING NORTH UP THE SAW MILL PARKWAY FROM BRONX NY. THIS PARKWAY IS TWO LANES WITH 3-4 LIGHTS DEPENDING WHERE YOU GET ON, SO I HAD 3 LIGHTS GOING NORTH. AT THE FIRST LIGHT I NOTICE THE BRAKES WERE WEEK. SECOND LIGHT HAD THE SAME NO PRESSURE BRAKE PEDDLE, AND THEN THE THIRD LIGHT I HAD NO PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE PEDDLE COULDN'T STOP AT THE RED LIGHT AND HAD SEEN THE CARS COMING FROM THE LEFT INTO THE INTERSECTION SO THAT MADE ME SWERVE HARD TO THE RIGHT AND FINALLY CAME TO A STOP. THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE LINE BLEW AND FLUID WAS LEAKING ALL OVER. I HAD BOTH OF MY DAUGHTERS, BROTHER IN-LAW, AND A FRIENDS SON IN THE TRUCK GOING TO A FAMILY PARTY IN CONNECTICUT AROUND 12PM.I HAD A COUPLE THINGS GOING FOR ME OTHER THAN BEING LUCKY, A GOOD DRIVER AND KNOWING THE HIGHWAY VERY WELL. I MADE IT TO THE MECHANIC SHOP AND SAW THAT ALL MY BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED UP THAT THE MECHANIC DIDN'T WANT TO TOUCH THE OTHERS CAUSE THEY MIGHT BE VERY BRITTLE AND WILL BREAK VERY EASY. THIS TRUCK IS NOT MY MAIN VEHICLE AND IS IN VERY GOOD SHAPE TILL I LOOKED UNDERNEATH. *TR
