IN THE LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER, 2009, MY FATHER AND I WERE PULLING A BUMPER HITCH CAMPING TRAILER WHEN THE TRUCK BRAKES FAILED. WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP THE REST OF THE WAY HOME BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE ELECTRIC ASSIST BRAKES ON THE CAMPER. WHEN WE HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE METAL BRAKE LINES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAD CORRODED INSIDE THE FRAME, NEXT TO THE GAS TANK. THE BRAKE LINE WAS REPLACED AND NO FURTHER INCIDENT HAS ARISEN. *TR

Owner report 10445209 · 2012-01-25 (January 25, 2012)
WAS DRIVING ON A LOCAL ROAD. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. WAS ABLE TO STOP AND DRIVE IT HOME. THE LINE ABOVE THE GAS TANK WAS CORRODED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. SAME THING HAPPENED IN DEC.2011. THIS TIME THE LINE WAS CORRODED AGAINST THE FRAME LEADING TO THE ABS MODULE. THIS REPAIR HASN'T BEEN COMPLETED BECAUSE OF EXPENSE. I PLAN TO REPLACE THE REMAINDER OF THE LINES BECAUSE THEY ARE RUSTING INSIDE THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT LEADING TO THE MASTER CYLINDER. *TR
