I was driving home from work and was coming up to a stop sign and my brake pedal went clear to the floor. Luckily no one was coming and I went right through the intersection. After getting the truck home, my mechanic came and looked it over and found the rear brake line on the left side of the truck was completed rotted out and will have to be replaced. He told me that the other lines are looking bad also and that they should be replaced. *Tr
Brake line failure due to corrosion. Failure occurred without warning, excessive pedal travel and extended stopping distance through stop sign. Fluid leaking from beneath driver's side frame area. All metal lines heavily and substantially corroded. Identified and replaced failed line. Adjacent line subsequently failed during extended (10 second) full pedal application before vehicle even left garage. Replaced all 1/4" lines on truck. *Kb
On 9/15/11, depressed brake pedal and it went completely to the floor. The truck did stop. I was less than a mile from home. Inspected undercarriage at home and found brake fluid leaking from an undetermined source. Took truck to servicer in on 9/15/11. Received call on 9/16/11 that in addition to the one line leaking, the other 3 are suffering from heavy corrosion and at risk of imminent failure.

My truck is a 2001 chevy 2500hd. *Tr
I noticed that as I drive my 2001 chevy 2500hd with 6.0 V8, that the fuel gauge goes from saying I have fuel, to dropping down to no fuel and then back again.

recall, and that they have had an overwhelming complain on the faulty equipment, but the recall has expired. I am a police officer, and believe that you should take responsibility for your mistakes, and make them right. I have owned 7 chevy trucks, and always spoke highly of them, but with all the complaints with the same problem, I believe chevrolet should do the responsible thing, and correct these issues. I am currently speaking to my lawyer about a lawsuit against chevrolet. This is a safety issue, as well as inconvenience. Chevrolet is not what it used to be. *Tr
Rear brake calipers locked up due to rust around pistons. Replaced calipers and while bleeding the brakes the brake lines ruptured one by one also due to excessive rust and corrosion. *Tr
