Consumer Description

ON AUGUST 14, 2014 THE REAR BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH AND FLUID WAS SPILLED ONTO THE ROAD. FORTUNATELY I WAS LEAVING MY HOME AND ONLY GOING ABOUT 10 MPH AND THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE S-10 HAS 65500 MILES ON IT. IT COST $700 TO REPAIR AT THE GM DEALER. *TR IN NOVEMBER 2013 THE FRONT BRAKE LINE RUSTED THROUGH AS I WAS LEAVING WORK AND HAD TO STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHT. ONCE AGAIN I WAS FORTUNATE THAT I WAS TRAVELING IN A SCHOOL ZONE AND ONLY GOING 15 MPH WHEN THEY GAVE OUT. IT COST $1600 FOR THE REPAIRS. IT HAS 58000 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME. I CAN ONLY IMAGE THE DANGER ASSOCIATED WITH THESE BRAKE FAILURES AS I TRAVEL IN THE NYS THRUWAY AND LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY REGULARLY AT SPEEDS OF 65-70 MPH. I AM FEARFUL OF THE NEXT RUST THROUGH AS THE REAR BRAKES LINES WERE REPAIRED NOT REPLACED.
