Brakes system failure, air in the brake line, causing loss of braking ability, resulting in loss of control/accident.
My truck just shut off by the parking to my home. I can't afford buy $7,000.00 for repair auto at firestone because they want so more money. They did took off by itself then my truck didn't finish and need to work more for engine motor and brake. *nlm
