Consumer Description

BRAKES FAILED WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN LIGHT TRAFFIC. BRAKING ACTION REDUCED TO APPROX 10 TO 20 PERCENT OF NORMAL. DRIVER FELT A "POP" AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, FOLLOWED BY A 'SERVICE BRAKE SYSTEM' WARNING MESSAGE. A LARGE PUDDLE OF FLUID FORMED UNDER THE TRUCK WHEN PARKED AND A QUICK LOOK UNDER THE TRUCK SHOWED LOTS OF FLUID FROM THE FRONT OF THE BED TO THE REAR OF THE TRUCK. FURTHER INVESTIGATION SHOWED HEAVY CORROSION ON ALL RIGID BRAKE LINES. ALL BRAKES LINES WILL BE REPLACED. THE FAILED LINE POWERED THE REAR BRAKES. THIS TRUCK IS ONLY EIGHT (8) YEARS OLD. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN LOTS WORSE IF THE BRAKES FAILED ONE WEEK EARLIER WHEN I WAS PULLING A CAMPER THROUGH THE TENNESSEE MOUNTAINS. *TR
