| Description of the problem | When i was getting ready to back out of my driveway and pressed the brake to put the car into gear the brake felt loose. As i got the to bottom of my short driveway i pushed my foot on the brake and the pedal went to the floor luckily i was able to stop. I brought the truck into the be looked at and they advised me that my break line had been rusted through. I bought this vehicle 1 month and 10 days ago. I then did a search online and found that this is a pretty common problem and that there is even a repair kit; however, there hasn't been a recall so now the cost is on me to fix. 365. 00 per month car payment and now near 1500 dollar car repair. |
