| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: There was a thumping sound after the brakes were applied, a technician indicated the cause of the noise was due to the fact that when the brake pedal was depressed, the brake bridged the rear wheel cylinder gasket and subsequently the brake fluid built up on the brake lining/pad of the brake shoe, the brake fluid is manufactured with a silicone base, which apparently coats the brake lining, and can not be removed, therefore there is potential brake failure, consumer was informed that the problem is the silicone in the brake fluid formulation.*jb |
