   雨が降っており、ブレーキが効かない理由を確認するためにトラックの下を見たが、その時点では何も見つけられなかった。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

5. Inspection

   翌日は乾いていて、兄弟にブレーキをポンプしてもらいながら下を見ると、ブレーキラインが驚異的な速度で錆びている多くの場所を発見し、錆びたラインが破損している1箇所を見つけた。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

   THE NEXT DAY WAS DRY AND I HAD MY BROTHER PUMP THE BRAKES WHILE I LOOK UNDERNEATH AND FOUND NUMEROUS PLACES WHERE THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTING AT AN ALARMING RATE AND ONE LOCATION WHERE THE RUSTED LINE FAILED.

   見つけた漏れを修理し、その修理の後でブレーキのエア抜きをしようとすると、フロントとリア両方の金属ブレーキラインのあちこちで、終わりのない漏れの連続が始まった。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

   I REPAIRED THE LEAK I HAD FOUND AND WHEN I TRIED TO BLEED THE BRAKES FROM THAT REPAIR I WOULD BEGIN AN UNENDING RUN OF LEAKS UP AND DOWN THE METAL BRAKE LINES FOR BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR.

   この YUKON は約 260K マイル (= 418,429 km)走っているが、これらのブレーキラインがこのように錆びて穴が開くはずはない。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

   THIS YUKON HAS AROUND 260K MILES BUT THOSE BRAKE LINES SHOULDN'T BE RUSTING THROUGH LIKE THEY ARE.

8. Original text (unclassified)

   私は GM の TAHOE、YUKON、YUKON XL、SUBURBAN、ピックアップトラックを 15 台を超えて所有してきたが、この 2004 モデルの YUKON が今経験しているようなブレーキ故障の連続は一度もなかった。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

   I HAVE HAD MORE THAN 15 TAHOES, YUKONS, YUKON XLS, SUBURBANS, AND PICKUP TRUCKS FROM GM AND NEVER HAVE I HAD SUCH A RUN OF BRAKE FAILURES AS THIS 2004 MODEL YUKON WAS NOW GOING THROUGH.

9. Original text (unclassified)

   GM はこれは通常のメンテナンスだと言うが、これらのラインの多くはフレーム、シャシー、ボディに隠れているのに、故障が起きつつあるかどうかをどうやって見ることができるというのか。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

   GM SAYS THIS IS NORMAL MAINTENANCE BUT HOW CAN ONE EVEN SEE IF A FAILURE IS OCCURRING AS MANY OF THESE LINES ARE CONCEALED BY THE FRAME, CHASSIS, AND BODY.

10. Original text (unclassified)

    ピックアップであれ TAHOE や SUBURBAN であれ、2000 から 2006 年式の同様の車両のほかの所有者と話をしたが、ほぼ全員が慢性的なボディの錆の問題と、それ以上に重要なこととして、ブレーキラインが錆びて前触れなく破裂することによるブレーキ故障を訴えていた。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

    I HAVE SPOKEN TO OTHER OWNERS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES, BE IT PICKUPS OR TAHOE'S OR SUBURBANS OF THE 2000 TO 2006 MODEL YEARS AND NEARLY ALL HAVE COMPLAINED OF CHRONIC BODY RUST ISSUES BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY BRAKE FAILURES FROM BRAKE LINES RUSTING AND THEN BLOWING OUT WITHOUT WARNING.

11. Original text (unclassified)

    また多くの人が、点検で見えるラインは問題なさそうに見えるのに、見えないすぐ先で突然破裂が起き、ラインが隠れているので問題があることを見ることも知ることもできなかったと述べていた。 Machine translation (unreviewed)

    MANY ALSO CITED THAT OF THE LINES THAT ARE VISIBLE TO INSPECT THEY WOULD APPEAR TO BE OK BUT JUST OUT OF VIEW ONE WOULD HAVE A SUDDEN BLOW OUT WITH NO WAY TO SEE OR KNOW THERE WAS A PROBLEM SINCE THE LINES ARE CONCEALED.
