Consumer Description

BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR UPON BRAKING. HAD TO DOWNSHIFT TO LOW GEAR AND APPLY WHAT LITTLE BRAKE I HAD LEFT TAKING APPROXIMATELY 200 FEET TO STOP. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME OR IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A REAR END COLLISION. SLOWLY RETURNED HOME ABOUT A MILE AWAY AND UPON FURTHER INSPECTION FOUND THE HARD BRAKE LINE RIGHT FRONT PASSENGER SIDE HAD BURST. NO PRIOR WARNING TO LOSS OF BRAKES. *TR
