| Started the truck and applied the brakes to shift into gear and the brake pedal went to the floor. after several times pressing the pedal there was no brakes at all. the truck was towed to the dealer where i was informed all the brake line were rusted and needed to be replaced at a cost of $1,300.00. the truck only had 35,000 miles on it. if i had been driving, i am sure this would have likely caused a serious accident. *tr | |||
