Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Driving to work, my brake pedal began to get soft but i made it to work safely. at work, i popped the hood a found the brake reservoir was empty. i had not noticed any leaks on my driveway before so i was confused at this leakage. i was able to refill the reservior and tested my brakes at lunch and they seemed better. but before driving home i noticed there was a puddle under the car. i drove home, with my brakes getting softer at each brake application. once home the leaking continued. the source of the leaks is the brake lines rusting. upon further investigation, the fuel vapor lines are also rusting through and leaking. rusting brake and fuel lines should not happen. i think there is a manufactured part defect in these lines that is allowing them to rust. *jb |
