SERVICE BRAKES
WHILE ATTEMPTING TO SLOW THE VEHICLE TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND THERE WAS LIMITED BRAKING. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE SLOWED BY DOWN SHIFTING. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS OFF OF THE HIGHWAY, THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE MECHANICS FOUND THAT ONE OF THE STEEL BRAKE LINES HAD RUSTED AND RUPTURED CAUSING THE BRAKE FLUID TO LEAK AND THE REDUCTION IN BRAKING ABILITY. ALL OF THE STEEL BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY RUSTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO CONCERNS OF ADDITIONAL FAILURES. *TR
