Description of the problem | I went to move this truck in my driveway, when i put it in reverse, the brake pedal went to the floor, nearly hitting my car which was behind me. I got out and opened the hood and noticed that the brake fluid reservoir was very low, and that brake fluid had squirted all over the front of the engine and was also leaking from a second place just under the master cylinder along the frame. The brake lines were wet and are very rusty, to the point of scaling. Now, i can't use my truck, which i very much needed on 09/14/2013. This is very disgusting! |
