The entire braking system except for the brake cables had to be replaced in July. Two weeks after the vehicle had been sitting for about four hours, the emergency brake cable caught on fire and burned from the handle down about 12 inches, which made the battery fail. Consuemr called sears, who did the brake job, and they are not taking responsibility for the cable fire. There was brake fluid leaking onto consumers driveway and the vehicle was put back in the shop for replacement of all the brake cables.
