Consumer Description
THE STEEL BRAKE LINE FROM THE ABS UNIT TO THE REAR BRAKES HAS CORRODED AND IS LEAKING FROM ABOVE THE STEEL FRAME FORWARD FROM THE LEFT REAR TIRE. FORTUNATELY THIS OCCURRED AS I PULLED INTO MY GARAGE AFTER DRIVING OVER 150 MILES ROUND TRIP AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND IN CITY TRAFFIC. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTERIOUS, CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE IF THE LINE WOULD HAVE FAILED DURING THE TRIP! AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS BRAKE LINE FAILURE LOOKS LIKE IT'S A COMMON PROBLEM!
