The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu. While operating the vehicle at 51 mph, the brakes failed and the brake warning indicator illuminated. Upon inspecting the vehicle, the contact noticed that the brake line was disconnected and the screw was loose. Mega motors, inc. (565 s buckner blvd, dallas, TX) was contacted, but refused to address the safety issues due to the contact purchasing the vehicle �as is�. The dealer stated that they were absolved of all liability. An independent mechanic was contacted and confirmed the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 222,248.
The bracket holding the brake manifold to the frame lost its bolts causing the front right brake line to rub the engine and cause a hole in the line. My wife lost all her brake fluid and also her brakes.
