The exhaust bolts are breaking causing the exhaust to leak. The related problems will likely be poor fuel economy, increased emissions and potentially failed emissions test. The catalytic converter was already replaced on the same side as the exhaust manifold with the broken bolts. Problem was not noticed until the second bolt broke thus not sure when the original problem occurred. The problem appears to effecting numerous other vehicles thus a potential large global impact.

I had a brake failure on my 2002 Tahoe after driving at hwy speeds then coming off the exit to stop; the, service brakes light came on. I then attempted to brake and the pedal went all the way to the floor making it very difficult to brake.., could have been catastrophic, and or deadly; I drove home 2 miles away, very slowly; I had very little brake control.(two infants in the car at the time) two out of four brake lines completely rusted with a hole; brake fluid leaked out quickly at time of incident..like hundreds, and thousands of other complaints of same exact problem. The brakes themselves are fine.,. to replace all four of my brake lines, it cost me $858($813 w/coupon). Recall id # 05V379000 - service brakes, hydraulic:antilock may address the problem if you get to it done before the lines completely fail. Applying rust inhibitor to your brake lines may also help. This could have been completely avoided since many have complained. The mechanic did not mention a recall when fixing the brake lines.
