SERVICE BRAKES
I OWN A YEAR 2000 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 PICKUP TRUCK. ON APRIL 15, 2013, WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM THE NEAREST VILLAGE, I LOST ALL POWER IN MY BRAKES. THE TRUCK WAS GOING DOWNHILL AND AS I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO INCREASE IN SPEED. I WAS QUICKLY OVERTAKING A SLOWER PASSENGER CAR AHEAD OF ME, SO I HAD TO VEER OFF THE ROAD ONTO THE SHOULDER AND INTO A ROUGH RAVINE. EVENTUALLY I SLOWED TO A STOP. I GOT OUT AND EXAMINED THE BRAKE FLUID AND FOUND IT TO BE LESS THAN THE MINIMUM LEVEL. I ALSO SAW FLUID LEAKING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE REAR AXIAL. SINCE THE INCIDENT HAPPEN IN THE EVENING, I CALLED A FRIEND WHO HELPED ME BRING THE TRUCK TO MY HOME. THE FOLLOWING DAY I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE FAILED (RUSTED THROUGH) REAR BRAKE LINE. THE OTHER REAR BAKE LINES WERE EXTREMELY RUSTED AND AT THE SUGGESTION OF THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN, I HAD THEM ALL REPLACED. THE COST OF THE REPAIR WAS $1625. THE TRUCK HAD APPROXIMATELY 99,000 MILES AT THE TIME OF REPAIR AND WAS GARAGED DURING WINTER MONTHS SINCE IT IS PRIMARILY A FARM VEHICLE. I BELIEVE THAT THE BRAKE LINE WEAR AND RUST IS A SAFETY HAZARD SINCE THE TRUCK LOST ALL BRAKE POWER AND WAS INCREASING IN SPEED EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE BRAKE PEDAL FULLY ENGAGED. ONLY BY STEERING OFF THE ROAD AND DRIVING UP AN ELEVATED ROAD EMBANKMENT WAS I ABLE TO STOP THE TRUCK SAFELY. *TR
