Description of the problem | My truck was parked. I started my truck. I applied the brake to put my truck in gear. The brake pedal went completely down to the floor. I inspected under my truck, and there was a puddle of brake fluid under the driver's side area on the cement. I saw that all the brake lines connected to the abs electro-hydraulic control unit are severely rusted, and one of them was leaking severely. I had my truck towed home. There was no warning light on the dash that was blinking to tell me i that i was having a problem with my brakes. They were working fine prior to this failure. I will document the condition of the brake lines with a picture and brake mechanic witnesses before any repairs. I am in the process of locating a brake repair business. |
