Description of the problem | I own a 2014 chevy z71 that had a sherrod lift package installed at there factory and i have brought it into the dealer for excessive tire wear and the second time it was in the dealer discovered that all 4 brake lines were about to burst due to excessive wear and incorrect installation of the lift. My concern is there are alot of these trucks on the market and had i drove it another week it would have been fatal for me or someone i hit due to brake failure. I feel this issue needs to addressed due to the severity of the issue. The dealer deadlined my vehicle due to a major safety factor and contacted sherrod. As of yet i have not heard from sherrod about the repair. Its the thousands of other drivers of these vehicles i am concerned about. If the one i owned was done incorrectly but to specs according to sherrod than in 7000 miles if mine were within days of bursting than so are theres. I have pictures of the lines if someone needs them. Something has to be done or lives will and are at steak. |
