2 YEARS AGO I HAD ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED BECAUSE OF FAILURE DUE TO RUST AT A COST OF $1000.00 I BELIEVE THE CAUSE WAS POOR METAL IN THE BRAKE LINES AND THE WAY THE LINES ARE ATTACHED TO THE BODY & FRAME HELP TO CAUSE THE PROBLEM.

TRUCK WAS IN SHOP FOR UNRELATED MAINTENANCE. BRAKE LINE FAILURE OCCURRED WHILE MOVING TRUCK OUT OF SERVICE BAY. TRUCK IS CURRENTLY UNDRIVEABLE. MECHANIC INDICATED THAT THIS IS COMMON FAILURE AS LOWER QUALITY MATERIAL WAS USED IN THE BRAKE LINES. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ON WEB INDICATED THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. THIS IS THE FIRST I HAD HEARD OF THE PROBLEM. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I FEEL BLESSED THAT THIS FAILURE OCCURRED IN A NON-TRAFFIC SITUATION. I FREQUENTLY DRIVE THIS TRUCK IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON I-94. THANKS,[XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

BRAKES FAILED AS BRAKE LINE CORROSION ALLOWED FLUID LEAK. THIS WAS FIRST OF MULTIPLE LINE FAILURES IN THE LAST THREE YEARS. THREE DIFFERENT FACTORY LINES FAILED THEN ONE TRANSMISSION LINE. THIS TRUCK IS NOT USED DURING WINTER AND WAS UNDER COATED MULTIPLE TIMES. NO OTHER PART ON THIS TRUCK IS CORRODED NEARLY AS MUCH AS EVERY STEEL LINE ON IT, INCLUDING THE GAS LINES( ALSO REPLACED JUST LAST YEAR) TRUCK RUNS AND DRIVES EXCELLENT EXCEPT FOR THIS CORROSION PROBLEM. *TR
