Customer went to apply brakes coming down a steep hill. Brake pedal went all the way to the floor. Vehicle was wrecked to the repair shop the next day. Upon inspection, all brake lines from the master cylinder to the wheels were rusted and corroded. The place where the leak happened was right at the ABS pump. Both lines for the front and rear braking systems burst before the ABS pump causing a complete loss of brakes. I have worked on many Chevrolet of this model and all seem to have the same problem. This particular one has always been a North Carolina vehicle. Has never been up North.

My wife and I drove our truck to town about 10 miles. I noticed the brake pedal felt spongy so we finished our business and drove home, when we pulled into the drive the brake pedal went to the floor. But we were able to get it stopped. I checked the fluid level and it was empty so I put some fluid in and ask my wife to push brake pedal as I looked around. I saw brake fluid spraying out from under the cab on the drivers side. I got under it and saw the brake lines were leaking and they were really rusted. It looked liked the brake line ruptured due to corrosion.

Found a puddle of brake fluid on the driveway below the driver's side door. Inspection revealed that the brake lines that run along the frame rail below the driver's side door are completely rusted/corroded, and are leaking brake fluid. Vehicle is unsafe to drive until repaired. This is an extremely serious safety issue, and needs to be addressed immediately.

I applied my brakes to slow down for the three cars stopping in the lane ahead of me. I started to decelerate and then all of a sudden my brake pedal went to the floor and I had to swerve to avoid rear-ending the car in front of me. Luckily there was no one in the other lane (same direction) so there was no accident but I had to then push the brake all the way to the floor going 10 mph for minimum stopping power.

I had brake line failure, due to rusted lines, had to replace all lines!! almost caused an accident. Had rocker panels, and cab corners rust through, had to replace rear bumper, because of extreme rust through, have had to have frame repair, because of extreme rust. The rust is not slowing, and the truck will eventually have to be taken off the road, because it will be un- road worthy. Why will GM not address this widespread issue?

Attempted to stop at 10 mph driving straight antilock brake system activated, had no brakes, put transmission into 1st gear stopped 1 foot from building. Almost went through plate glass window! I just changed both my front antilock sensor's and had no effect on the loss of the brakes, they just pulsed. Owned this vehicle since 2001 and have had two antilock brake computers replaces at a cost of $800 each time.
