| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving on city street at approx 30 mph, stop light changed to red as i approached. was close to intersection, pressed hard on brake pedal and it started slowing vehicle, then after about .5 seconds, pedal went to floor with minimal braking at that point. did not lose control of vehicle, as speed was low enough that what was left of the hydralic system stopped vehicle. after limping vehicle home (was only 3 blocks from there), inspection under vehicle revealed steel brake line rubbing against frame rail just behind firewall, where line tucks into frame rail, causing weak spot that failed under pressure. repairs not made yet, as incident just occured, will need new steel brake line from abs control to rear axle. can save old part. *jb |
