I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, AND A TRUCK CUT ME OFF. I APPLIED THE BRAKES, AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID CRASHING BY PUMPING THE BRAKES. I PULLED OFF THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY, AND SAW BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK. AS I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM HOME, I CRAWLED HOME USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES ,FROM FRONT TO BACK, WERE RUSTED AND ROTTED. I PAID A MECHANIC SHOP TO REPLACE ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WITH STAINLESS STEEL LINES. IN ALL OF MY YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER SEEN BRAKE LINES ROT OUT AFTER ONLY NINE YEARS AND 40,000 MILES. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REIMBURSED BY CHEVY FOR THE REPLACEMENT OF THE BRAKE LINES. A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD HAVE OCCURRED. AND TO THINK THAT JUST A FEW DAYS BEFORE, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN THE TRUCK! *TR

ON SEPTEMBER 3RD, 2012 I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE AND I HAD JUST PULLED INTO A SHOPPING CENTER AND AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN I APPLIED THE BRAKES. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I WENT STRAIGHT THROUGH THE STOP SIGN, BUT, LUCKILY THERE WERE NO OTHER VEHICLES AT THE INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO 1ST GEAR AND GUIDE IT INTO A PARKING SPOT AWAY FROM OTHER VEHICLES. WHEN I EXITED THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK, I COULD SEE ALL OF THE BRAKE LINE FLUID POURING OUT OF THE BRAKE LINES. THE TAHOE WAS TOWED TO MY MECHANIC. DURING THE REPAIR, THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES AND THEY WERE ALL SEVERELY CORRODED. EVERY BRAKE LINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THERE IS NO OTHER CORROSION ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

COMPLETE FAILURE OF BRAKE LINES AND CALIPERS SECONDARY TO RUST. TRUCK (A GM TAHOE) WAS INSPECTED AT THE DEALER ONE MONTH AGO AND PASSED PA INSPECTION. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER (1000 HIGHWAY MILES) MY TRUCK HAD TO RETURN TO THE DEALER TO RECTIFY SOMETHING THEY HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN FIXED, UNRELATED TO THE BRAKES. UPON PICKING UP THE TRUCK AFTER THAT REPAIR, THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED AFTER STARTING THE CAR TO PUT INTO GEAR AND THE ENTIRE BREAK SYSTEM BLEW. THANK GOODNESS, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION BECAUSE I WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO STOP. THE DEALER THEM PUT THE CAR UP ON THE LIFT AND I WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE SYSTEM WAS RUSTED, INCLUDING ALL THE BOLTS TO THE SYSTEM. THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR WAS TO CUT THE ENTIRE BRAKE LINE SYSTEM OFF AND REPLACE. THE REAR CALIPER COVERS ALSO BEGAN TO RUST, SO THEY ARE ALSO BEING REPLACED. I CAN PROVIDE PICTURES OF ALL AREAS PRIOR TO REPAIR. *TR
