Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT APPROX 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED HARD. I IMMEDIATELY STEPPED HARD ON MY BRAKES. THE BRAKES INITIALLY APPLIED AND THEN FAILED. I SWERVED INTO A PARKING LOT AND APPLIED MY BRAKES AGAIN WITH NO SUCCESS. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I THEN PUT THE GEAR SELECTOR IN PARK WHILE MOVING AT A FAIRLY HIGH RATE OF SPEED IN ORDER TO STOP. THE VEHICLE GROUND TO A HALT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A REPAIR FACILITY AND I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED AND DUE TO THE PRESSURE OF ATTEMPTING TO STOP HARD, THE LINE RUPTURED AND THE ENTIRE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILED.
