Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: After changing all four brake rotors and brake pads because they were badly rusted, my brakes failed soon after leaving home . a pin hole leak developed in the brake line because of rust. the leak was in a place that was not accessible by me. i had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer for repairs. they found four badly rusted brake lines and replaced all four at a cost of $953.16. the towing charges were covered by my allstate auto club. i forget to request the old parts. i was fortunate the failure occurred shortly after leaving home and did not cause an accident like the failure of the rusted brake line in my 1988 chevy truck caused. i rear ended a car in that incident. *jb
