Monte Carlo 6-cyl

  • Automatic transmission

Consumer states: Brakes failed, the brakes were fine all of a sudden brake pedal went to the floor. The brake line rusted completely. Brake lines were made out of cheap steel and were coated with some type of heavy paint. They only rusted in one spot, and that was on the portion of the brake line that was not coated in the heavy paint. The brake line components were replaced.
