Consumer Description

BRAKES FAILED WITHOUT WARNING WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT HIGHWAY SPEED, THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR WITH NO WARNING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO RUN OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A COLLISION AND STOP THE VEHICLE SLOWLY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, I COULD SEE BRAKE FLUID POURING OUT OF THE BRAKE LINES UNDER THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR. THERE APPEARED TO BE SIGNIFICANT CORROSION ON THE BRAKE LINES WHERE THE FLUID WAS NOW POURING OUT.
