| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: A failure of the left front brake line caused the loss of all brake fluid in the master cylinder. the reservoir does not have a separation that would have prevented all the brake fluid from being lost. most master cylinders have a partition in them, so at least the front or back brakes would still be functional. i believe that this is a major function that should be investigated. i could have had a major accident if i had been on the road. as it was i had just pulled off the road and was unloading passengers when the brake line failed. nlm |
