Description of the problem | Total failure of steel brake line (front to rear) while pulling out of a parking lot after a doctor visit i was shocked to feel my brake pedal go to the floor, luckily the split system allowed me to stop before entering a busy highway. Car was towed to a local dealer for repair the owner says this happens alot after paying a 250. 00 bill i was on my way considering risks envolved i feel manufacturers should be made to by law to use stainless material for all brake components. They must now be using a low grade steel (no doubt to cut manufacturing costs). |
