WE WERE GETTING READY FOR A LONG TRIP (MARYLAND TO FLORIDA). WE HITCHED OUR TRAILER TO OUR TRUCK AND WERE TESTING LIGHTS, BRAKES, ETC. AT THE CAMPGROUND BEFORE WE LEFT. AS WE TESTED THE BRAKES AT A LOW SPEED, WE REALIZED THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK AT ALL. WE PARKED IT RIGHT THERE ON THE ROAD IN THE CAMPGROUND AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TAKE US TO OUR MECHANIC'S SHOP. WHEN HE LOOKED AT IT, HE FOUND HE HAD TO REPLACE ALL THE BRAKE TUBING BECAUSE THEY WERE ALL RUSTED OUT. HAD WE BEEN ON THE ROAD WITH OUR TRAILER, WE WOULD HAVE HAD A CRASH AND COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED OR SEVERELY HURT.

I WAS POSITIONING MY CHEVY SILVERADO 2500 YEAR 2006 TO HOOK UP MY TRAVEL TRAILER RV. AS I WAS BACKING UP TO LINE UP THE HITCH TO THE RV BALL THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND I LOST ALL BRAKING. I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR SHIFT IN PARK TO STOP THE SLIGHT ROLL. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK AND THERE WAS BRAKE FLUID ALL OVER MY DRIVEWAY WHERE IT HAD COME OUT OF A CORRODED BRAKE LINE UNDER THE DRIVERS SEAT. THIS TRUCK ONLY HAS 97,797 MILE ON IT. I AM VERY FORTUNATE THAT THE CORRODED BRAKE LINE FAILED BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO HOOK UP THE RV AND START DRIVING, I COULD HAVE HAD A SERIOUS ACCIDENT THAT MIGHT HAVE KILLED SOMEONE. *TR
