Description of the problem | While backing in my driveway sloped downhill, applied brake peddle to slow before stopping. Brake peddle went to the floor. Luckily i had mind enough to apply the emergency brake to come to a stop before running through my garage. Upon inspection, i noticed fluid running off the frame rail onto driveway. I noticed brake lines in frame rail were corroded bad. Called dealer, they say they replace brake lines all the time in these vehicles. They wanted $1100. A local garage replaced all the lines for $800. I am the original owner and take good care of vehicle. Is this a class problem? Should this be covered under a recall? Happy to supply vin if needed, just don't have it with me. |
