TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET P TRUCK. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD NOT MOVE AND THEN SUDDENLY TRAVELED TO THE FLOORBOARD. THE VEHICLE BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO STOP AND THE STOPPING DISTANCE INCREASED. AFTER STOPPING THE VEHICLE, SMOKE APPEARED COMING FROM THE FRONT BRAKES. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE INCIDENT OCCURRED AFTER BEING IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME, CAUSING THE BRAKES TO OVERHEAT AND THE ABS SENSOR TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER AND THE DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.
