 Consumer called complaining about hydraulic brake problems. the consumer had taken the wheel off and the problem was the hose from the hydraulic brakes. the manufacturer or dealer were not contacted at the time of this call. *ak age and heat may have caused the hose to expand inward because of the clamp support around it, because it did not expand outward which shut off the normal flow of brake fluid. the vehicle did not brake evenly for three years prior to the problem , but now with the new hoses, the vehicle now brakes as designed. *scc *jb
