| In the last week of october, 2009, my father and i were pulling a bumper hitch camping trailer when the truck brakes failed. we were able to limp the rest of the way home by using the emergency brake and the electric assist brakes on the camper. when we had the brakes inspected, we were told that the metal brake lines on the drivers side of the vehicle had corroded inside the frame, next to the gas tank. the brake line was replaced and no further incident has arisen. | |||
