brake line rusted out and master cylinder not working
Friday Evening June 3rd, 6:30pm. I left work and was on the way home when all hopes of enjoying a long relaxing weekend were dashed. I was driving at approximately 35mph going down a hill. There was a car ahead of slowing down to make a left turn. To my right is a ditch sloped downward featuring a large overgrown briar patch and a culvert. As I began to brake for the car in front of me, the brakes on my 2004 Chevrolet Silverado Z71 4X4 went out completely! I have unfortunately been in a couple of wrecks in the past and I didn’t want to be involved in another one so I instinctively swerved onto the “shoulder" (for lack of a better term) narrowly missing the car and wound up in the ditch landing on the culvert. Fortunately the truck was relatively ok aside from a piece of brush sticking out of my front bumper and the left fog light was cracked. I put the truck in 4 low and managed to climb up the other side. I made it home after 16 mile drive. I was a nervous as a long tailed cat in a room full of rocking chairs. The brake fluid reservoir was half full. I took the truck to my local mechanic shop where they are working strenuously as i type this.Thankful that this ordeal wasn’t as bad as it could have been but I will not purchase another Chevy! Hope this helps! Be safe!
