Consumer Description

MY WIFE AND I WERE DRIVING HOME A FEW NIGHTS AGO. WHEN APPROACHING AND INTERSECTION THE LIGHT TURNED RED. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKES TO STOP AND THE BRAKE WENT TO THE FLOOR. WE WERE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION BEFORE I COULD GET STOPPED. THANK GOD IT WAS LATE AT NIGHT AND THERE WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC. IF IT WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY WE COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. I AM GLAD IT HAPPENED AT A SLOW SPEED AN NOT ON THE INTERSTATE AND NO ONE WAS IN FRONT OF US. I PULLED OVER AS SOON AS I COULD AND I COULD SEE BRAKE FLUID RUNNING OUT FROM UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. I HAVE NOW GOING TO HAVE PAY FOR A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR TO HAVE ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED. I BEG YOU FOR GOD'S SAKE ISSUE A RECALL ON THE TRUCKS BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED.
