Consumer Description

THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE HOSE THAT CONNECTS THE BRAKE 'HARD LINES' TO THE CALIPER FAILED. THE RUBBER PORTION SEPARATED FROM THE FITTING ON THE CALIPER CAUSING COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ALL BRAKE FLUID DUMPED OUT ONTO THE GROUND AND INSIDE OF THE WHEEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED UNDER HARD BRAKE PRESSURE. MIRACULOUSLY, I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE AROUND OBSTACLES AND AVOID SERIOUS COLLISION. I'M LUCKY TO BE ALIVE TO WRITE THIS COMPLAINT. UPON REMOVING THE WHEEL, THE BRAKE HOSE WAS HANGING FREE OF THE CALIPER DRAINING WHAT WAS LEFT OF THE CONTENTS OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM ON THE GROUND.
