| I was leaving the downtown area of cleveland, ohio, and i was in the lane to get onto 77 south. the light turned green, the 4-5 vehicles in front of me started going through the intersection, the first accelerated into the adjacent lane to reveal construction cones in our lane. the remaining vehicles in front of me slammed on their brakes and i slammed on mine. at that instant, my brake pedal sunk to the floor. i reacted quickly (thank god) and swerved left to avoid the collision. my truck came to rest about 10 feet past the small sedan in front of me. i would have wrecked the back of that car and caused a chain reaction in front and back of me had i not been able to react as quickly as i had. the replacement of all the brake lines (the one leaking is as corroded as the others) plus front brake work is going to cost me around $3800. not something i was expecting from a 6 year old truck, nor anything i can afford right now. it is my work truck, i don't have a choice, and it's more of a repair than i feel comfortable tackling on my own. chevy needs to step up and shoulder some responsibility. i have had two other trucks in this climate and never saw the lines corrode like this. | |||
