Description of the problem | My daughter was driving her son, our grandson, home from school in my yukon. As she was leaving the city limits just starting to get up to legal 55 mph and the brake system completely failed without warning. She fortunately saw a body shop and managed to maneuver the vehicle in there and down shifted to stop. She was fortunate to find this location. As you leave town there is a large hill we are thankful the brakes did not fail as she was going down it. I just am upset there was no warning, and we find out the whole brake line failed. It is hard to imagine what could have happened. |
