| 2000 | SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC | WHILE REPLACING THE FUEL FILTER ON THE VEHICLE THE MECHANIC STATED THE FUEL LINES WERE BADLY RUSTED AND STARTED LEAKING. THE TRANSMISSION AND BRAKE LINES WERE ALSO FOUND IN THE SAME CONDITION. I WAS ADVISED THAT ALL THE LINES SHOULD BE REPLACED IMMEDIATELY DUE TO THEIR DETERIORATED CONDITION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE IN IT'S CURRENT CONDITION. WENT TO DEALER TO ORDER PARTS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION AND FUEL LINES COULD BE ORDERED (APPROX. $500.00) BUT THE BRAKE LINES ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. ALSO THE REAR BRAKE BACKING PLATES HAVE RUSTED OFF THE VEHICLE. ALL 4 ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES ALONG WITH BRAKE PADS. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROX. 70,000 MILES. I HAD A FEW NEAR MISSES WHEN TRYING TO STOP QUICKLY - ABS PROBLEM. *TR |
