Description of the problem | As i was leaving my home there was a complete loss of brakes in my driveway. After checking i discovered that the brake line had burst due to corrosion. I had a hard time trying to understand how there could be a complete loss as all vehicles now have a dual line master cylinder. I then remembered i had seen a oily spill and trail up the shared gravel drive several months ago. Apparently i had lost half the brake system months ago. There was no warning light or different feel to the brakes during this time. I managed to get the truck in the garage and while checking what was needed for repair i discovered that every single brake line on the vehicle needs to be replaced. I have another chevrolet pickup that i bought new in 1989 and the brake lines are in better shape than the 2005's. |
