On july 22, 2015 i was driving my 2004 chevy silverado 1500 and when i went to stop at an intersection the brakes failed and i had go through a stop sign. i had to hit the emergency brake to get the truck stopped. i was lucky it happened in a housing sub division and not on an interstate because someone could have been killed. i was close to my mechanics garage and was able to get it into the garage where i was informed that all of my brake lines were completely corroded and rusted through he also informed me that a brake caliper needed replaced due to all of the brake line corrosion. the mechanic also informed me that all the fuel lines were corroded and also needed replaced. the mechanic told me he has replaced brake lines on several silverado's all due to corrosion. this truck only has 65,665 miles on it and was seldom driven in snow. i'm not sure why there is not a recall on these trucks. if my wife or one of my kids was driving this the outcome could have been different. the total cost was over $1400.00 to get all of the lines replaced something needs to be done before someone gets killed.
The steel fuel line is leaking. my mechanic says that the fuel line rusted and needs to be replaced. their problem now is that it is impossible to snake the new fuel line through the body. it appears that the fuel line was installed before the body and the truck is not designed for its replacement. *tr

The gas gauge became very inaccurate and then stopped working altogether. then the alternator gauge stopped being accurate. works sometime and others it indicates max amps. checked with a meter and the charge, with motor running is 14.2. my brother had a 2003 when the same happen, cost him 400.00 to have instrument package replaced. this should have been a recall to replace defective instrument package. *tr
