2002 CHEVY SILVERADO ,BRAKE HYDRAULIC LINES FAILED COMING TO A STOP,FOUND LINE FAILURE DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST CORROSION TO BRAKE LINES ABOVE LEFT FRAME RAIL . AS I AM A AUTO TECHNICIAN FOR CHRYSLER AND NOT HAVE SEEN SUCH RUST ON BRAKE LINES UNLESS VEHICLE HAS 200,000 MILES OR SO.THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 36,000 MILES .I FEEL THAT THE MATERIAL THE LINES ARE MADE OUT OF ARE INFERIOR RAW MATERIALS. I HAVE REPLACED THE LINES THAT WERE LEAKING AND PLAN TO REPLACE THE REST AT SOME TIME MAKING THEM MY SELF WITH SOMETHING THAT MAY HOLD UP BETTER TO MY SEAT BELT LOCATION.WITH THAT SAID IF GENERAL MOTORS DECIDES TO WAKE UP AND RECALLS THE BRAKE LINES I WOULD APPRECIATE SOME RESTITUTION,I NOTICED LIKE ME MANY PEOPLE HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUES AND HAD THERE VEHICLES REPAIRED AND WERE REIMBURSED FOR THEIR TROUBLES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500 HD. UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE HE STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE PEDAL DEPRESSED TO THE FLOOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 70,000.

THE BRAKE LINES ON THE VEHICLE RUSTED OUT CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE WHILE OPERATING. I HAD TO HAVE ALL THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED. YOU CAN SEE THEIR IS A PROBLEM WITH A SIMPLE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET. HTTP://TRUCKS.ABOUT.COM/B/2010/11/09/BRAKE-LINE-CORROSION-SUSPECTED-IN-GM-TRUCKS.HTM. *TR

I OWN A 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500HD WITH 8.1L ENGINE. THE TRUCK HAS STARTED STALLING (ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTTING DOWN) WHILE I AM DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 7 OR 8 TIMES NOW. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN OR HOW FAST YOU MAY BE GOING. SO FAR, I HAVE REPLACED BATTERY, BATTERY CABLES, HAD THE FUEL LINES SERVICED, AND HAD THE FUEL INJECTORS CLEANED. AFTER DOING A LITTLE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS THAT THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR IS THE ISSUE AS IS ON MANY OF THESE TRUCKS. THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2001 TRUCKS FOR THIS ISSUE BUT NOT ON THE 2002 TRUCKS FOR SOME REASON. COSTLY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MY TRUCK ONLY HAS 67,000 MILES ON IT. *TR
