Consumer Description

PROBLEM: THE STEEL BRAKES LINE GOING TO THE FRONT AND BACK RUPTURED AT THE SAME TIME DURING WHAT WAS TO BE AN EMERGENCY STOP. THEY WERE ON TOP OF THE ABS MODULE AND WERE HEAVILY RUSTED. HENCE, THERE WAS NO BRAKING EXCEPT BY PULLING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHEN I WAS CUTOFF BY ANOTHER CAR AND HAD TO JUMP THE CURB TO AVOID A COLLUSION. LUCKILY NO DAMAGE TO ME OR THE CAR, EXCEPT TWO RUPTURED BRAKE LINES. I WAS IN CHICAGO ON CITY STREETS IN THE DIVERSEY SHERIDAN ROAD AREA. I HAD THE DAMAGED AREA REPLACED AND TRADED IN THE CAR....UNSAFE. THESE LINES SHOULD HAVE BEEN COATED WITH SOME TYPE OF RUST PREVENTATIVE COMPOUND.
