Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE LAST WEEK I WENT TO BRAKE FOR AN EXIT ONLY TO FIND THAT I HAD NO BRAKES. IT TURNS OUT MY BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND MY BRAKE FLUID HAD BEEN DRAINING MY WHOLE TRIP DOWN THE INTERSTATE. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO MANAGE TO GET OFF THE ROAD AND PARK MY VEHICLE AND CALL AAA TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED. I AM NOW FINDING OUT THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH GMC OLDER TRUCKS. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. LIVES ARE AT RISK. *TR
