While towing my travel trailer back from a trailer inspection i noticed the brake on my 2001 chevy 2500 suburban for uncomfortably close to the floor. upon arrival after slowly limping home using mostly the trailer brakes i found that a rear brake line had ruptured and the rear master cylinder tank was empty. a local auto shop cut the line and added a new section. per the mechanic the ruptured line is rusted along with the adjacent lines. the cut out section was thrown out before i could save it. *tr

I have a 2001 chevrolet suburban 2500 that has a bad abs module that i have been trying to get replaced since july, so that my abs breaking system will work. the module has been back ordered at the factory since july. this makes for an unsafe vehicle for my wife & family on a daily basis. this week was a very scary week because we were driving through colorado springs and had to stop fast because of traffic and the breaks locked up and the suburban started to turn sideways, my whole family of 6 was in the car. this is frustrating because there is nothing i can do to get the parts or fix the car. *tr
