Consumer Description

REAR BRAKE LINES BURST WHILE I WAS IN MOTION. I WAS GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND HAD TO USE THE GEARS TO SLOW DOWN. THEY WERE CORRODED THROUGH. SAME THING HAPPENED IN 2016 WITH MY FUEL PUMP LINE CORRODED THROUGH. WAS LEAKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. DID NOT NOTICE FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL THERE WAS PUDDLES OF GAS WHERE I PARK. OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS MY CLADDING HAS BEEN FALLING OFF FROM RUST THROUGH ON THE BOTTOM SECURE POINTS.
