| Brake line was rubbing against air injector tube, leaked brake fluid. tt this situation caused brakes to go out, it was determined that the right front brake line had ruptured, which was caused by the air injector tube, mounted alonside the brake line, to rub a hole in the brake line, brake line was repaired, consumer doesnot feel he should be responsible for repairs.*jb | |||
