Suburban

  • 117,000 miles
Purchased vehicle used for family vehicle, after having it for six months and 4,000 miles the brake lines have failed. Rusted to the point of total replacement, as well as the fuel line being rusted so bad that the repair shop would not touch the brake lines without replacing fuel lines, we have six children that could have been injured or killed because of this... please do something, it is expensive and dangerous. I see all other complaints have felt useless, why is this not being taken care of" how many people will have to go through this same problem? and if it is a known fact, why has there been no kind of announcement made publicly? I hate to think that our government would take that risk, where is the safety that we as americans are guaranteed by our leaders and offices"
