Consumer Description

TOOK THE CAR TO THE SUPERMARKET & AS I WAS DRIVING HOME I WENT TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT & MY BRAKES COMPLETELY FAILED. THERE WAS NO WARNING, THANK GOD I WAS NOT GOING FAST AND I WAS NOT HIT BY ANOTHER CAR. BRAKE FLUID HAD COMPLETELY DRAINED OUT OF THE SYSTEM. GOT MY CAR TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP WHERE WE HAVE ALL OUR CARS SERVICED. MECHANIC SAID ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE ALL ROTTED/RUSTED. CAN'T GET PARTS ANYMORE, THEY HAVE TO 'FABRICATE' THEM. PRICE TO REPAIR $1200.00 MY CAR ONLY HAS 58K & IS GARAGED. I DO LIVE ON LONG ISLAND BUT HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THROUGH ANY FLOODS. CADILLAC SAYS 'CAR IS TOO OLD FOR ANY RECOURSE ON THEIR PART'. WHAT ELSE IS NEW. I LOST MY BRAKES IN AN INSTANT WITH NO WARNING. I'M GRATEFUL I DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR GET MYSELF KILLED. HAVE READ ONLINE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE. I GUESS YOU CAN ADD MY CAR TO YOUR STATISTICS. I GUESS I COULD ASK MECHANIC FOR PICTURES IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE. THANK YOU [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
