Silverado 3500 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 90,000 miles
I was driving at around 35 mph when I tried to brake and the brakes did not work. I tried the emergency brake and that wouldn't work either. I rolled to a stop and called a towing company. When I got out of the vehical there was break fluid leaking on the drivers side of the car. The vehical was towed to the dealership where I was informed that the brake line had bust. I was also told that the feul line was about to bust. The entire break and fuel lines were corroded and had to be replaced. It took the dealership 2 week to repair. The cost was over $2000.
