Description of the problem | My 15 year old son driving with me in the passenger seat he has a learners permit applys the brake and it went to the floor not being able to stop properly swerves and avoids a collision with limeted brakes i took over and made it home buy the time i got home i had no brakes and no brake fluid i was releived to make it. I work on cars for a living and never replaced brakelines do to rusting out. There will be a fatality if gm dont fix there problem. I dont live in where it snows very often my couny has 2 salt trucks and my roads i drive dont get salt ,we havent got snow besides a dusting in three years. So to say its trucks in the north is a false statement. I bought a ss aftermarket brake line set i will install it myself . I know it will be labour extensive but it has to be done thanks for letting me vent thanks to you you for reading my complaint. *js |
