Description of the problem | I was driving down a hill when a car went through a stop sign at an intersection. I slammed on my brakes, in a panic stop, and my brake pedal went to the floor. I didn't have any brakes so i drove around the car almost hitting it. The other car didn't stop and i drove 5 mph to a parking lot where i looked and found a puddle of brake fluid under the driver side of the truck. I took it to my auto shop and he said i blew out two brake lines. I had all the brake lines replaced at the cost of 2,269. 99. |
