I am the original owner of a 1999 GMC Sierra that just had brake line failure on 7/14/16 on the interstate that caused an acccident. I had complete loss of brakes, pedal to the floor. I used low gear and park brake to minimize damage but still made contact. It is currently at patriot Buick GMC in williamsburg va for repair where I bought it new. I feel me having to pay $1000+ for the brake line repair and now a court date and insurance issues that are not my fault. We need to discuss GMC making some restitution as there is no rust anywhere else and this truck has only been in va. I have other GM cars from the 60's, 70S and 2000S that have no rust issue. Fuel line was leaking as well and some needed replacment.GM service request 8-2250924255 I also had the ps rear brake rotor shield come off and scrape moving parts last year. Turned itnto dealership as a problem. This truck was tsb'd years ago for line inspection
