Letter from congressman carney on behalf of constituent re his concerns about rusted brake lines in GM vehicles. The consumer experienced sudden and unexpected brake failure due to a metal brake line that had ruptured and was rusted. The brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Fortunately, the consumer was able to bring the vehicle to a slow and safe stop. An inspection revealed all the brake lines under the drivers side door were severely rusted and were leaking braking fluid. The dealership replaced the brake lines to the front brakes, the master cylinder, ABS control module as well as the rear backing plates and right rear caliper that were severely rusted.
