Consumer Description

ENTERED MY PARKED CAR ON A SLOPING DRIVEWAY AND STARTED THE ENGINE TO PULL AWAY. I HIT THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GAVE UNDER THE PRESSURE OF MY FOOT AND WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. NO BRAKES, CAR ROLLED INTO STREET AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITH VERY LITTLE STOPPING ABILITY. THANK GOODNESS I ONLY HAD TO GO A SHORT DISTANCE TO MY HOUSE WITH NO STOPPING REQUIRED IN THE 6 MILE TRIP. AS IT TURNS OUT THE REAR BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED AWAY AND BLEW OUT UNDER NORMAL USE AND DUMPED THE FLUID. *TR
