Description of the problem | Had just made a left turn onto my street, approximate speed about 5 mph. After the left turn was made, i proceeded about 200 feet to my driveway. Upon pulling in, i attempted to stop and the pedal went to the floor. The brakes were not hit abruptly however there was snow on the ground. Moving at 10 mph when coming to a stop, the truck did not slide but eventually stopped, without incident. After parking the truck, 20 minutes later i decided to see if it was still the same or if this was just a "fluke" (no the abs light did not come on when parking). So as i opened the drivers side door, i looked down and noticed the snow was a golden/bluish color. I looked underneath the truck and saw brake fluid dripping slowly onto the ground. The leak is coming from under the drivers side door, near where the group of brake lines is located. I checked out possible fixes online and noticed i am not the only one with this complaint. It was suggested i file this complaint, which i am glad i did so. This needs to be addressed before someone is not as lucky as i was (pulling into my driveway at a slow speed). Thank you. |
