I was returning home from lexington ky when I came around a curve there were two deer in the road. I hit the brakes hard and the pedal went to the floor. I hit one of the deer with a glancing blow. There was no damage to my truck and the deer ran away. Thank god I was not in lexington when this happened and the deer was not a child. I am 72 years old and I don't have the money or the energy to make this repair. Last year my son was backing his 2001 Silverado to the lake to load a boat when this same thing happened. The truck went into the water up to the cab before he got it into another gear. After a $1100 repair he traded for a Ford. General Motors needs to be held accountable for this defect

Front brake line burst!

- Westfield, MA, USA

Was driving on a local road. Brake pedal went to floor. Was able to stop and drive it home. The line above the gas tank was corroded and had to be replaced. Same thing happened in Dec.2011. This time the line was corroded against the frame leading to the ABS module. This repair hasn't been completed because of expense. I plan to replace the remainder of the lines because they are rusting inside the engine compartment leading to the master cylinder.

The contact owns a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500. The contact stated that the brake lines were rusted, causing a resistance in braking and an increase in stopping distance. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and after inspection, both brake lines and calipers were replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 48,000.

Badly rotting/corroded brake lines. One has now burst. Brake pedal goes to the floor. There was no warning. No warning light now or prior to the failure.

Brakes start anti lock feature when approaching stop, greatly lengthening the stopping distance.....this is repeat of same problem recalled in Oct 2005, resolution of which was to clean the components...well they get rusty again and the same problem is back....note that brakes are terrible on this vehicle, all components have been previously replaced including both rusted out brake lines(July 2009, 55745 miles, $1684.03).

Brake line failure due to corroded brake lines on a 2000 GMC Sierra 2500 pick -up truck, luckily it happened pulling out of the drive way and not on the highway, see that there are hundreds of complaints about the same problem, something needs to be done before someone gets killed ! if not so already !

- Cincinnati, OH, USA

The contact owns a 2000 GMC K2500. The contact referenced a recall but the recall number was unknown. The contact spoke with the dealer and the manufacturer and both stated that the recall repair had previously been performed in 2005. While approaching a stop sign at 5 mph, the contact depressed the brake pedal and it went to the floorboard. The contact released the brakes and applied them again. The failure continued intermittently. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 71,000. The current mileage was approximately 85,000.

Rusted brake lines causing brake failure. In dealer now for repair. A costly repair due to the fact that they were engineered on the truck to never be replaced as the dealer needs to lift the truck cab off the truck to replace.. feel this corrosion and failure is premature as I have had older vehicles that had hardly any corrosion or have failed. I was lucky that I did not get hurt or my family.

Brake failure due to corrosion of hydraulic brake lines.

- Laingsburg, MI, USA

In the last week of October, 2009, my father and I were pulling a bumper hitch camping trailer when the truck brakes failed. We were able to limp the rest of the way home by using the emergency brake and the electric assist brakes on the camper. When we had the brakes inspected, we were told that the metal brake lines on the drivers side of the vehicle had corroded inside the frame, next to the gas tank. The brake line was replaced and no further incident has arisen.

Wet surface. Two similar wrecks in two different Chevy pickups. One a 1994 and the other in a 2000 GMC. Trying to stop, standing on the brakes, while both of these vehicles accelerated into the rear of the vehicle in front of me. Following the last incident, I went straight to a large empty parking lot and duplicated the acceleration while standing on brakes.

Lost brakes while backing up nd had to stop suddenly-brake pedal went to floor and had put vehicle in drive to stop.set E-brake to hold. Moved vehicle to my driveway to check problem. Brake lines to ABS block broke. Lines for front and rear brakes broke due to corrision. Removed lines and found all lines except lines on rear axle failed. Replaced all seven lines.

At low stopping speeds ABS brakes kick in and cannot stop.

No incident yet...extensive rust on brake lines near engine...also excessive rust pitting on brake rotors. GM dealer says caused by salt..truck is 2000 model with less than 60,000 miles. I am afraid brake lines may rupture prematurely due to excessive rust and pitting. Independent mechanics verify my feelings.
