| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I had to brake hard when i parked the car. when i got in the car the next morning, there were absolutely no brakes and the master cylinder was empty of brake fluid. all the brake fluid had drained out from a leak at or near the junction box. i had to have the car towed to the dealer who replaced the brake line from the master cylinder to the junction box for a charge of $205.66 (towing was also $6.00 more than the aaa reimbursement). the brake line clearly showed an elongated hole caused by external abrasion or rubbing. i believe this was a safety defect caused by faulty design or assembly. if this had happened in traffic, or while i was towing my horse trailer, the results could have been disastrous! *ak |
