Astro Van 6-cyl

  • 200,000 miles
I have 2- Chevy Astro vans. 1-1998, 1-1999. The 1999 has corroded brake lines and gas lines. The main brake lines are corroded into. I was coming back from a long trip yesterday and I noticed that the brakes were soft. When I got home upon inspection I checked the break fluid and it was low. I filled it. I noticed a puddle of fluid by the back tire. And looked, I discovered all of the brake and gas lines were eat up with corrosion. GM needs to take this as a very serious problem and fix it immediately. I could have been killed, or I could have killed someone if the brakes failed to hold. I inspected the 1998 Astro van to see if it had a problem to. And upon doing so discovered it is fine, no problems. I have pics of both vans the pics will show that my statement is true. I bought the 1999 van (the one with corroded lines) in the state of Ohio. And I bought the 1998 van in Alabama.I do not know why this is, but I know I am not the only one with a faulty GM product with corrosive brake and gas lines. I am very thankful I discovered this before tragedy happened. This is a potential deadly problem, and GM needs to resolve this before someone looses their life, not after. Any help with getting this resolved is greatly appreciated! I just want to let unsuspecting GM owners know about this danger!
