Upon leaving my driveway to the first intersection the brake pedal went all the way to the floorboard. I got the truck home and parked it. I thought the anti-lock part was probably the problem. Expensive as that part is I just let the truck sit. One day I left a piece of cardboard under the truck and isolated the leak to two rusted out lines at the plastic clip on the frame. This area must hold moisture and doesn't dry-out, allowing it to rust.

I was driving about 35mph and I was coming to a red light so I put on the brakes and I heard a pop and my brake pedal went to the floor and I almost went thru the intersection. I got out of my truck and saw that I was leaking brake fluid from the front. I opened the hood and saw my front brake line was leaking around a corroded area on a hard brake line attached the frame rail. It was a hard brake line failure not a rubber line like in the wheel well. I cant believe that a truck that is 12 years old has a brake line rust thru, this is very dangerous.

- Columbia, CT, USA

Was driving home and noticed that when the brake was pressed it had to be pressed harder to stop. Once arriving home noticed that brake fluid was leaking from under the driver side rear tire. The brake line is rusted, corroded and has a break in the line. This is absolutely unacceptable.

I was parked in front of my home. I was getting ready to leave for work and I pressed the brake pedal down to start the truck and the brake pedal went to the floor. I had the window down so everytime I pressed the brake pedal I heard the pressure of the brake fluid being pushed out the broken brake line. It cost $350 just to get repaired plus a tow. My mechanic said it was caused by the brake line being corroded. It was only one of the four brake lines on my truck but the mechanic said the other ones look pretty bad also and don't have the money to replace all of them.

While driving highway speed (70 mph) my grandson pressed on the brake to slow down at an exit and lost all but 1/2 in of brake pedal. No accident but barely stopped before an accident occurred. And he is only 17 yrs old and was badly scared.. repair shop changed the rear brake line from the ABS module to the rear brake connection due to being rusted through. Cost was $451. It was also noted that the other 5 brake lines at the ABS module were badly rusted and needed replacement.

On April 15 2010, as I was bringing my vehicle to a stop, the brake pedal traveled all the way to the floor. When I got under the vehicle to examine it I saw the rear right brake line was leaking brake fluid badly due to a break in the metal brake line. Again on 2/27/2011, I was stopping my vehicle at a stop sign and the same thing happened at a low speed. Only this time it was a front right brake line. Luckily in my incidents there were no accidents or injuries or deaths, but this is a serious issue with these vehicles, all the rest of my brake lines are in very poor condition at this time and will also need to be changed so I feel safe driving my truck, especially when my family is with me. I have owned twenty plus vehicle in my time and even some of them where General Motors, but I have never seen a vehicle deteriorate the way that this one is.

Brakes failed due to brake line bursting because of corrosion on 1999 GMC truck.

While I driving my 1999 GMC Sierra 1500 pickup, the brake acted very soft when I was coming to a stop on the roadway. I thought at first that I was low on brake fluid. But was able to drive the truck to my mechanic and he checked it out and found the brake lines had corrosion and a small hole opened up throw brake fluid all under the undercarriage in the rear drivers side of the truck. He told me that this isn't the only truck he has seen this problem. I feel that something needs to addressed soon, before people get hurt or killed because of the loss of there brakes. I was just lucky that I was driving down a hill and the normal speed limit. I think this problem has been occurring and needs to be addressed to GMC to do a recall on all there 1999 GMC trucks.

Severe corrosion of the brake lines became apparent during a sudden application of the brakes which caused multiple brake lines to rupture and leave the vehicle with no brakes since a line from the master cylinder to the ABS unit front left input and the ABS to the rear T line blew simultaneously. When removing the damaged brake lines they literally crumbled to pieces due to corrosion. During the repair to the brake lines severe corrosion was noted on the fuel lines also.

My truck was parked. I started my truck. I applied the brake to put my truck in gear. The brake pedal went completely down to the floor. I inspected under my truck, and there was a puddle of brake fluid under the driver's side area on the cement. I saw that all the brake lines connected to the ABS electro-hydraulic control unit are severely rusted, and one of them was leaking severely. I had my truck towed home. There was no warning light on the dash that was blinking to tell me I that I was having a problem with my brakes. They were working fine prior to this failure. I will document the condition of the brake lines with a picture and brake mechanic witnesses before any repairs. I am in the process of locating a brake repair business.

The brake lines under the drivers door on the frame are all rusted and have started to leak from excessive corrosion. Just noticed the leak as the truck was parked outside our house.

Upon applying the brakes on to a 1999 GMC Sierra the brake line ruptured, spewing brake fluid onto pavement and causing near immediate loss of all stopping ability. The brakes were not applied with excessive pressure and the speed was less than 15 mph. Could there be a defect with the placing of the lines that causes these brake lines to rupture? upon checking with friends and the internet it has become apparent that this is not a rare occurrence with the GMC Sierra/Silverado. The repair was quoted at $1900 dollars to repair the ruptured brake line as well as other assorted brake parts. This vehicle has always seemed to have some type of problem with the brakes and for some reason it seems to be common knowledge within the automotive repair industry that this specific vehicle will develop problems with its brakes. If I were using any speed with this rupture occurred, I am sure the outcome would have been more serious.
