Consumer Description

WHEN I WAS GETTING READY TO BACK OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PRESSED THE BRAKE TO PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR THE BRAKE FELT LOOSE. AS I GOT THE TO BOTTOM OF MY SHORT DRIVEWAY I PUSHED MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO STOP. I BROUGHT THE TRUCK INTO THE BE LOOKED AT AND THEY ADVISED ME THAT MY BREAK LINE HAD BEEN RUSTED THROUGH. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 1 MONTH AND 10 DAYS AGO. I THEN DID A SEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A PRETTY COMMON PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS EVEN A REPAIR KIT; HOWEVER, THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL SO NOW THE COST IS ON ME TO FIX. 365.00 PER MONTH CAR PAYMENT AND NOW NEAR 1500 DOLLAR CAR REPAIR. *TR
