| I was driving on the highway onto the offramp, when i got to the end, i had nearly 100% brake failure. i managed to dodge a semi by pulling on the shoulder and using the emergency brake. the brake line had corroded from from to back. i looked on the nhtsa website and see a lot of these issues, but since the great mounds of nhtsa seem to believe nearly total brake failure is not an issue, i just replace the part of the line that is leaking. it will very likely fail again soon, but i know that it that was a problem, then nhtsa would do its job and push a recall. just another case of nhtsa deciding which consumers should be protected under the law and which ones should have their lives put at risk. i got a note from [xxx] at nhtsa claiming they might conduct a study, but given that a 10 month study by nhtsa was insufficient to determine that gasoline spilling out onto the highway may pose a consumer risk, i'm betting this will go no where. tax dollars at work!! information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6). *tr | |||
