Description of the problem | While stopping for a pedestrian, at a speed of approximately 10 mph,the rear passenger side rubber brake line separated from the steel brake line,resulting in the immediate loss of all brake fluid and the brake pedal going to the floor. The cause of this separation ,was corrosion of the factory steel clamp ,clamping the rubber hose to the steel brake line. Upon examination,it was found that two other clamps were in the same condition. I was able to completely remove one clamp ,by rubbing it between my finger and thumb. These steel components are unsafe for use in states that use salt or brine on their roads. This was made worse by the fact that the reservoir used,is not split into two sections, allowing loss of all brake fluid for both front and rear brakes at the same time. |
