Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH, I HAD TO STOP FOR A GARBAGE TRUCK DOING A TRASH PICKUP. WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES ON MY PICKUP, THE BRAKES TOTALLY FAILED AND I NEARLY DROVE ANOTHER CAR INTO THE BACK OF THE GARBAGE TRUCK. THAT AVERTED CRASH WOULD CERTAINLY HAVE KILLED THE CAR'S DRIVER. I AVOIDED A CRASH BY A RAPID TURN INTO THE ONCOMING LANE JUST AS A CAR COMING TOWARD ME CLEARED THE OPPOSING LANE. MY TRUCK HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROFESSIONALLY AND THE BRAKE FAILURE WAS A GREAT SHOCK TO ME. MY TRUCK IS A 2007 CHEVY SILVERADO 3500 DUALLY.
