1 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 03/17/2015

I noticed my 2000 Chevrolet - Suburban k2500 vehicle pulling to the left at light to moderate braking. Noticed oil like stains to under side of drivers front wheel well area. I had it inspected by a certified service station. During inspection they found a leak coming from the brake hydro booster, and power assist high pressure hoses. I was told that the hydro booster needed replacing, along with the two lines coming from the hydro booster, at a cost of $1200. 00. I was told that the driver could lose complete power assist to the steering and brakes, causing a potentially hazardous driving condition. G. M.
