Escalade 8-cyl

  • 55,500 miles
At home in the driveway, started the engine and put my foot on the brake. The pedal went all the way to the floor and a brake failure warning light came on in the vehicle. Under the vehicle there was a large pool of brake fluid and a leak from one of the brake pipes under the drivers side of the vehicle. On closer inspection it was found that the brake line had rusted badly over a section length of around one foot in length, and completely rusted through, suddenly given way - luckily while the vehicle was at a standstill. The vehicle has never been in a salty environment other than normal Virginia winter road salt, or used off road.

Escalade 8-cyl

  • 68,932 miles
The emergency/parking brake release mechanism has broken today. This is the second time this mechanism has failed. It was replaced with a GM oem purchased from the dealer on 8-13-2011. This vehicle has 68932 miles on it and we are the original owners. There is obviously a design failure in this part.
