Consumer Description

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL WITH OUR 3 KIDS IN THE CAR WHEN THE BRAKES GAVE OUT COMPLETELY. SHE HAD TO SWERVE INTO THE OPPOSITE LANE TO AVOID HITTING THE CAR IN FRONT OF HER. AFTER HAVING THE VAN TOWED BACK TO OUR HOUSE I FOUND THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED THROUGH IN ONE SECTION. THE REST OF THE BRAKE LINES WHERE FIND. IT WAS ONLY WHERE THE BRAKE LINE WAS TOUCHING THE ENGINE HEAT SHEILD DID IT RUST. I THANK GOD MY WIFE AND KIDS DID NOT GET SERIOUSLY HURT.
