fluid coming from the brake line noticed the brake fluid dripping off of the frame I looked at the brake line and it was rusted and pitted and seen the brake fluid coming from little holes in the rusted brake line. Looked on the internet for ways to replace the brake line and there were so many people with the same problem so I called gm and they told me they could not help me so I went to the auto parts store and I got some steel tubing and started to repair the brake line my self so far I have bent and cut and double flared the new brake line but it started to rain and I have to work so I will finish it this coming weekend hopefully this will work. Could not afford the dealership charges it would cost to tow it to dealership they would charge me to tell me what is the problem witch is very plain to see then add a percentage to parts and then the labor and who knows how long it would take and they charge by the hour so they would not be in any hurry to fix it. I bought this truck brand new and take very good care of it washing and waxing and maintenance there is no rust on the body of the truck and the exhaust is not rusted but the brake line is
Went to drive vehicle when I noticed pedal when to floor. Upon inspection noticed that the brake lines near the rear of vehicle inside frame near the fuel tank was rusted completely. This vehicle is well maintained and looks perfect besides rusted brake lines. *Tr
Vehicle did not decelerate from highway speed, excessive braking was required to stop. Engine idle speed was approximately 3 times the normal idle speed when the vehicle was stopped. *Js
While driving on local road brakes failed, had to downshift and use emergency brake to stop truck. I found out after investigating, that the brake lines had rusted so badly that the hydraulic pressure blew out the brakeline to the front driverside wheel. Turns out that this is a common problem on chevy trucks and there has not been a recall yet !!! Does someone have to get hurt or die before this design flaw gets recalled? The brake system is a major safety component of any vehicle, why is the nhtsa not acting on this? The entire brake line system needs replaced before the truck can be driven again. *Tr
WATER PUMP WENT OUT AND FAN BROKEN. *TR
