Brake lines failed after having already been replaced. factory lines corroded through and truck was scary to slow down. was fortunate to be going at low speeds in a residential area - but glad there were no kids around and i needed to brake quickly!
I bought a 2003 chevy silverado 2500hd 15 years ago and gave it to my 16 year old son. recently we noticed that the brakes and steering was acting funny and making a noise, so we replaced the power steering pump and hoses. the problem only started getting worse. i did some research and found an old recall or notice related to the hydro-boost relief valve that was defected because of o-ring failure. just searching the vehicle will show several sites revealing the problem. the nada site goes into more detail on the problem. we have parked the truck until a decision is made. i contacted the manufacture and they stated that there was no problem, the vehicle has trouble when steering and looses braking.
Vehicle brake pedal failed to stop vehicle. had to apply emergency brakes to stop vehicle. vehicle was in motion going about 30 mph. vehicle was on a state hwy. vehicle was going straight.
Rear brakes rusted out fluid burst out no brakes two yrs ago. fast foreword saturday 12/22/2018 brakes pedal went to floor ,line from brake booster to proportioning valve blew out rusted completely through.
Tl* the contact owns a 2002 chevrolet silverado 2500. while driving 25 mph, the brake pedal was depressed and traveled to the floorboard. the contact noticed a leak coming from the brake line and rust. the contact did not engage the emergency brake. the contact was unsure if any warning indicators were illuminated. the dealer and manufacturer were not contacted. the failure recurred, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the failure mileage was 75,000.
Extreme rust, tailgate cables broke in use, had to replace. tailgate still won't latch properly, dropping open while driving/hauling fairly often; brake line rusted out, replaced before had accident; whole frame rusted - under carriage//tire wells/drive shaft/around reece hitch so i worry about pulling trailer/hailing. horn has rusted off. only 77,000 miles as i do not drive it daily, just to work around my place or pickup/haul/trailer something. gm needs recall to address this rust issue because it is a major safety issue.
While driving down the highway at 55mph approaching a stop light signal it turned yellow. knowing that i wasn't going to make it through the intersection before it turned red i hit the brakes to stop. while pushing down on the brakes everything felt normal with resistance from the pedal until all of a sudden the brake pedal lost its resistance or pressure and went straight to the floor and i had little to no brakes. thankfully no one was in front of me as i would not have been able to stop in time. i then pulled over and after further inspection found that the rear hydraulic brake line had failed due to corrosion. corrosion that was caused by using inferior products that cant sustain the elements it's used in. i now see that this was a known problem that gm hasn't informed its owners or recalled. shame on them. why do we have to wait for people to die before action is taken on an issue such as brake failure. they got lucky in my case.
The brake line keep rusting out on these vehicle and that is very dangoures to me and other people on the rode
I own a 2001 2500hd chevy silverado and last month i had the left rear steel brake line rupture and as a result i lost all braking power. neither the brake light come on and the proportioning valve did not function correctly during this malfunction since front brakes lost all power. i was very fortunate that the road was clear, traffic was light and there were no pedestrians around. the parking brake worked marginally since i was carrying a load of wet soil home. i truly believe this is a very serious defeat with this gm truck. the very next day i had that rear left brake line replaced and the garage technician said all the remaining brake lines are in a similar state. thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).'*jb
