Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: A brake failure due to a rupture in the front passenger side brake hose connected to the caliper. this failure led me to narrowly escape an accident when attempting to stop at a red light. the failure appears to be caused by the brake line being too short causing excessive flexing during turning at the crimp connector on the caliper end of the brake line. *jb |
