Driving to pick up my son from work on side streets,traveling about 25mph when my brake went to the floor.almost rear ended car at stop sign. got out of truck and found large spot under my truck,brake fluid. had it towed to brake shop and mechanic informed me my brake lines were rusting though and needed to replace all brake lines. also told me he has seen this with 3 or 4 other chevy trucks lately. found other complaints after telling my story. heard this is a known problem with these trucks..i bought this truck new & have had it rust proofed 12 times. thank you
Unloading my boat, brake peddle went down to floor,didnnt know what happened, no light appeared on dash, secondary breaks didnt work either, held with parking brake.
About two days ago when i pushed my brakes they felt spongy and when i pulled into my driveway i could smell brake fluid.today i went to move the truck to check it out. the brakes were even more spongy,so i pushed them hard and the brake line ruptured above the fuel tank.the front brakes would not stop the truck, so i had to use the transmission to stop the truck. it must have sprung a small leak two days ago when i noticed the fluid smell and spongy feel.good thing i wasn't driving on the road when it burst today, because it would not have stopped. *tr
Rusted out brake line to rear brakes along frame rail on my 2002 silverado 4 x 4. thank god no one was injured. this truck i purchased brand new and has never seen any winter weather until 2013. i was involved in a unrelated accident in jan. 2013 and the truck sat at a body shop until the end of may 2013. this year i had to use my truck. should a brake line have rusted thru prematurely? i don't think so. i think gm should be accountable for this failure and reimburse all people affected by this substandard part failure. *tr

I was backing out of my driveway and the brake peddle went to the floor. the rear brake line on the drivers side blew out. it's heavy rust. all the lines look the same way. i can not drive this truck. it is unsafe and i will need to put around $700 into it to get it safe again. *tr
Was backing out of the driveway and when i tried to stop the brake pedal went all the way down and i had no brakes. there was no warning whatsoever that i had a braking problem. when i looked underneath the truck i could see that the brake lines are very corroded and one is leaking. it looks like they will all need to be replaced and the truck will probably need to be towed in to have this done. it sounds like this will be a very costly fix. i bought this truck new and it has always been garaged and well taken care of. *tr
Brake lines rusting , leaking, breaking and no brakes. *tr
