WHEN DRIVING MY TRUCK THE TRACTION CONTROL COMES ON FREQUENTLY WHEN IN MOTION. SOMETIMES IT EVEN COMPLETELY DOESN'T MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS EVEN WHEN GIVEN GAS THEN LURKS FORWARD, WHICH FRIGHTENS ME BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WHICH COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I'VE BEEN READING UP ON THIS ISSUE AND IT SEEMS PRETTY COMMON, THIS IS ALARMING THAT A RECALL HAS NOT BEEN PUT INTO EFFECT! BESIDES THAT MY TRUCK RUNS BEAUTIFUL, WHAT CAN I DO? THIS IS AN ONGOING THING.

STARTED CAR IN THE MORNING TO GO TO WORK. AS I DO EVERY DAY. FOOT ON BRAKE AS USUAL, SHIFT TO DRIVE, TO BEGIN A TURN IN MY DRIVEWAY, IN MAKING THE LEFT TURN, WHICH IS A DOWNWARD GRADE, APPLIED BRAKE, WHICH WENT TO FLOOR. NO RESISTANCE WHATSOEVER, COMPLETE FAILURE OF BRAKES. KEPT FOOT ON BRAKE AND STEERED UP THE GRADE, THEN PUT CAR INTO PARK. GOT OUT, OPENED HOOD. CHECKED MASTER CYLINDER- NO FLUID VISIBLE AT USUAL LINE. CHECKED UNDER VEHICLE, BRAKE FLUID TRAILING ON DRIVEWAY UNDER PATH OF VEHICLE, AND SLOW DRIP FROM UNDER FORWARD FRONT DRIVER SIDE . BRAKE LINES AND CONNECTOR COMPLETELY CORRODED AND RUSTED. HAD I BEEN ON THE ROAD I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO STOP, VEHICLE IS DRIVEN BY MY SON AS WELL. OUR LIVES AND THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE VEHICLE AS WELL AS OTHERS THAT MEAD BEEN IN OUR PATH WERE CLEARLY IN DANGER. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD NOT OCCUR, AND IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE.
