I have a 2002 Chevy Silverado, that's is experiencing braking failures at low speed, like coming to a complete stop at a intersection. I have almost slid into several intersections and do no longer trust my brakes to stop when I need them. This problem is the same as reported under a existing recall # 05V37900. The problem is that my vehicle is not listed due to it's location, which is North Carolina. This recall needs to be expanded to cover addition states.

Another driver pulled out in front of me and when I applied my brakes a brake line burst and I lost my brakes and almost ran into the other driver who pulled in front of me. I went into the ditch to avoid hitting the other driver. I took me truck to my mechanic and he said the brake lines were rusted and that's why they failed. They all need replaced so this doesn't happen again.
