Consumer Description

THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT THE DRIVER SIDE REAR BRAKE LINE DEVELOPED A LEAK BECAUSE IT WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE SEAM ON THE SIDE OF THE GAS TANK. THE LINE IS IN GREAT SHAPE OTHERWISE. STILL HAS A BLACK COATING ON IT OTHER THAN THE AREA THAT WAS RUBBING THE PLASTIC GAS TANK SEAM. THE GAS TANK SEAM IS ALSO WORN AWAY. WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN THE FALL OF 2010 AND THESE ARE THE SAME BRAKE LINES AS WERE ON IT AT TIME OF MY PURCHASE. VERY DANGEROUS EXPERIENCE FOR MY WIFE WHO WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY SHE GOT IT INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARKED. THIS HAPPENED 3-15-2019. I TOOK PICTURES THEN GENTLY PULLED THE BRAKE LINE AWAY FROM THE GAS TANK AND TOOK A PICTURE OF THE HOLE WORN IN THE LINE AND WEAR ON THE GAS TANK
