VEHICLE DID NOT STOP, APPLIED EMERGENCY BRAKES, I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY WENT TO APPLY BRAKES PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR, LUCKY THERE WERE NO VEHICLE PASSING WHILE BACKING UP. AFTER FURTHER INVESTIGATION FOUND THAT BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTED, HAD TO GET TOWED TO MECHANIC FOR REPAIR AT A COST OF $1,000. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 86,000 MILES, THE ONLY PART ON THE WHOLE VEHICLE THAT IS RUSTED ARE THE BRAKE LINES, I HOPE THAT THIS CAN BE RECTIFIED BECAUSE THIS WAS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR AND COULD OF BECOME DEADLY. ( THE MECHANIC USED STAINLESS STEEL BRAKE LINES FOR THE REPAIR WHICH HE SHOWED ME THE RECEIPT AT A COST $35.00 THE REST WAS LABOR COST 2 DAYS IN SHOP). *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON A GRAVEL ROAD WHEN MY SPARE TIRE UNDER MY 2000 Z71 CHEVROLET EXTENDED CAB PICKUP FELL FROM UNDER THE TRUCK. IT MADE THE REAR END OF MY TRUCK BOUNCE UP AS IT TURNED SIDEWAYS COMING UNDER THE BED OF THE TRUCK. I WAS PULLING A TWO WHEEL TRAILER AT THE TIME AND THE TIRE WENT UNDER THE TRAILER. I LOOKED IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR WHEN I FELT THE TRUCK BOUNCE UP AND SAW THE TRAILER AS IT HIT THE TIRE. THE TRAILER BOUNCED ABOUT THREE TO FOUR FEET IN THE AIR AS IT RAN OVER THE TUMBLING TIRE. A CAR BEHIND ME ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT DODGING THE TIRE AS IT FLEW UP IN THE AIR AND LANDED IN THE DITCH. I TOLD THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE ACCIDENT. THEY SAID THE CABLE HOLDING THE SPARE TIRE UNDER THE TRUCK HAD BROKEN AND IT WASN'T COVERED ON A RECALL. I'M NOT SURE ABOUT WHY THE CABLE BROKE BUT IF THERE HAD BEEN A BIG ACCIDENT, THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A BIG LAWSUIT. I DON'T REMEMBER THE EXACT DATE OR TIME BUT THE DEALERSHIP SHOULD BECAUSE I CALLED AND REPORTED IT IMMEDIATELY. THE DATES ARE APPROXIMATE. *JB
