SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
1ST INCIDENT ON OR ABOUT NOVEMBER 2010 REAR BRAKE LINE FAILURE NO PREVIOUS WARNING LIGHT INDICATION - STEEL LINE BURST CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE ALONG WITH EMERGENCY BRAKE FAILED THIS HAPPENED AT ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR SO THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE STOPPED BY A CURB. TESTING THE BRAKES NONE WORKED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A REAR LINE FAILURE. VEHICLE TOWED AND REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE LINE FROM ABSBOX TO REAR AND THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES AND REAR DISC PADS WERE ALSO REPLACED. EVEN WITH THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOE REPLACEMENT ITS ABILITY TO STOP THE TRUCK WAS MINIMAL AT BEST 2ND INCIDENT ON OR ABOUT AUGUST 2011 THE TRUCK FAILED TO PASS NC STATE SAFETY INSPECTION AS EMERGENCY BRAKE WOULD NOT HOLD - THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SHOES AND REAR DISC PADS WERE REPLACED AGAIN WITH SIMILAR RESULTS WITH THE PREVIOUS REPLACEMENT - WITH MARGINAL EMERGENCY BRAKING OPERATION, BUT ENOUGH TO PASS THE NC STATE INSPECTION - ALSO THE BACKING PLATES OF THE REAR BRAKES HAD TO BE REPLACED AS THEY HAD RUSTED AWAY 3RD INCIDENT ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 2011 FRONT BRAKE FAILURE NO PREVIOUS WARNING LIGHT INDICATION - STEEL LINE TO FRONT BRAKES BURST WHERE TWO OF THE LINES WERE RUBBING TOGETHER WHERE THEY CROSS OVER THE FRAME FROM THE ABS BOX. THIS OCCURRED AT A STOP SIGN. THE HYDRAULIC SYSTEM MAINTAINED SOME STOPPING ABILITY AND THAT COMBINED WITH THE RECENTLY REPLACED EMERGENCY BRAKE PADS DID STOP THE TRUCK JUST SLIGHTLY PAST THE STOP SIGN. TO MOVE THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION IT HAD NO HYDRAULIC STOPPING ABILITY, BUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE DID FUNCTION MARGINALLY AT THE VERY SLOW SPEED. THE VEHICLE AGAIN NEEDED TO BE TOWED. DUE TO THE WAY THE FRONT FOUR STEEL LINES ARE RUN AND BUNDLED TOGETHER WITH OBVIOUS OTHER POINTS WHERE THESE LINES RUB TOGETHER COMBINED WITH RUST WILL REQUIRE ALL THE FRONT STEEL LINES TO BE REPLACED INCLUDING THE STEEL LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TOO THE ABS BOX. *TT
