Consumer Description

I HAD JUST RETURNED HOME FROM SHOPPING WHEN I EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. FORTUNATELY THE INCIDENT HAPPENED ON MY DRIVEWAY AS I WAS DRIVING UP TO THE FRONT OF MY GARAGE. SINCE I WAS MOVING VERY SLOW I WAS ABLE TO STOP BY SHIFTING THE TRANS INTO "PARK". I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND SAW A PUDDLE OF BREAK FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY AT EACH REAR WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP BY A TOWING SERVICE AND DELIVERED TO AUTO-LAB OF TROY, MI 48084. THEIR INSPECTION FOUND THAT BOTH BRAKE LINES AT THE REAR WHEEL CYLINDERS WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH WHICH ALLOWED THE FLUID TO SPAY OUT OF THEM WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS APPLIED.
