I HAD TO BRAKE HARD WHEN I PARKED THE CAR. WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR THE NEXT MORNING, THERE WERE ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES AND THE MASTER CYLINDER WAS EMPTY OF BRAKE FLUID. ALL THE BRAKE FLUID HAD DRAINED OUT FROM A LEAK AT OR NEAR THE JUNCTION BOX. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE BRAKE LINE FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER TO THE JUNCTION BOX FOR A CHARGE OF $205.66 (TOWING WAS ALSO $6.00 MORE THAN THE AAA REIMBURSEMENT). THE BRAKE LINE CLEARLY SHOWED AN ELONGATED HOLE CAUSED BY EXTERNAL ABRASION OR RUBBING. I BELIEVE THIS WAS A SAFETY DEFECT CAUSED BY FAULTY DESIGN OR ASSEMBLY. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, OR WHILE I WAS TOWING MY HORSE TRAILER, THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS! *AK
