SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
CORRODED BRAKE LINES CAUSED THE FAILURE OF BOTH FRONT AND REAR BRAKES AT THE SAME TIME. INOPERABLE REAR EMERGENCY BRAKES PROVIDED NO EMERGENCY STOPPING ABILITY. REPLACED BRAKE LINES. EMERGENCY BRAKE NOT REPAIRED. I UNDERSTAND THAT TRUCKS WITH MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS WERE RECALLED FOR EMERGENCY BRAKE DEFECT CORRECTION, BUT TRUCKS WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS WERE NOT EVENTHOUGH THEY HAVE THE SAME EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE HAS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. NOT CERTAIN WHEN EMERGENCY BRAKES BECAME INOPERABLE, BUT MY GUESS IS AROUND 2004 OR 2005, WITH 60K TO70K MILES. BRAKE LINE RUPTURE WAS IN 2009 AT 156K MILES. *TR
