What owners wrote
Dt: the contact stated while driving at night the consumer struck a deer and experienced difficulty stopping with the brakes. There was damage to the front hood and headlights. No police report was taken. He drove the vehicle home. Upon inspection there was corrosion on brake lines. He suspected this was due to dissimilar metal corrosion and road salts. The vehicle has not been repaired at this time. Updated 12/27/05. The brake line burst.
When braking hard, the pedal went to the floor resulting in loss of brakes. I had to use the e-brake and pump the regular pedal to stop. Brake fluid was leaking from line located in engine compartment next to driver side front wheel well.
