[XXX] PLEASE EMAIL TO ME OR I CAN DOWNLOAD FROM MY P/C INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

STOPPED AT MAILBOX TO COLLECT MAIL. BRAKED, PUT VEHICLE IN PARK. STEPPED ON BRAKE PEDAL TO PLACE VEHICLE IN DRIVE, FELT 'POP' SENSATION IN THE PEDAL. BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. UPON VISUAL INSPECTION, AT LEAST ONE LINE HAS RUPTURED. *TR

1) 12/23/2014 - SITTING IN PHARMACY RX DRIVE-THRU WITH FOOT ON BRAKE. WITHOUT WARNING, BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO FLOOR. ASSESSED PROBLEM AND DETERMINED BRAKE LINE FEEDING REAR BRAKES BURST FROM CORROSION. FIXED BRAKE LINE NEXT DAY. 2) 1/27/2015 - IRONICALLY, SITTING IN FAST-FOOD DRIVE-THRU. EXACT SAME AS ABOVE OCCURRED. DETERMINED ALL 4 BRAKE LINES LEADING TO THE FRONT OF VEHICLE WERE SPLIT AND CORRODED CAUSING LOSS OF FLUID AND FULL BRAKING CAPABILITY. I WAS FORTUNATE (AND LUCKY) THAT I WAS AT A STAND STILL EACH TIME THIS HAPPENED. COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC IF I HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT ANY SPEED. ESPECIALLY WITH THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

THIS IS THE FIRST OF THREE (3) OCCASIONS THAT A METAL BRAKE LINE ON THIS VEHICLE HAS RUPTURED. THE RESULTS WERE AN IMMEDIATE AND COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE. I HAVE TO LET THE VEHICLE COAST TO A STOP WHILE USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO ASSIST. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA SO IN ALL THREE TIMES I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT WERE LIGHT OR NO TRAFFIC. *TR

DRIVING DOWN A RESIDENTIAL ROAD APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION ATTEMPTING TO SLOW DOWN AND BRAKES FAILED, I WAS ABLE TO SLOW DOWN ENOUGH(DOWNSHIFTING THE TRANSMISSION) TO MAKE A TURN BUT NOT ABLE TO STOP AND NARROWLY AVOIDED ANOTHER CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE IGNITION SWITCH WAS PLACED IN THE OFF POSITION, THE KEY WOULD NOT RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

LEAVING MY DRIVEWAY BRAKES FELT SOFT. PARKED AND PUMPED BRAKES TWICE AND LINE THAT WAS RUSTED FAILED. MULTIPLE LINES THAT ARE RUSTED BADLY. NO BRAKE PEDAL WHAT SO EVER. *TR

MY 2003 CHEVY TAHOE, DUE TO PREMATURE CORROSION MY BRAKE LINES FAILED SUDDENLY CAUSING COMPLETE BREAK FAILURE. THANKFULLY I WASN'T TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEED SO I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE SAFELY AND LUCKILY MY CHILD AND FIANC WEREN'T IN THE VEHICLE. THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A VERY FATAL ACCIDENT IF I WAS AT HIGH SPEEDS. LET'S GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF AND MAKE SURE PEOPLE ARE SAFE. *TR

I BACKED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND I STARTED DOWN THE STREET. I GOT TO THE FIRST STOP SIGN IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD HOOD AND WHEN I PRESSED THE BRAKE I LOST ALL PRESSURE AND MY FOOT WENT TO THE FLOOR. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION,RITE BEHIND THE DRIVER SIDE REAR TIRE WHERE THE BRAKE LINE IS ATTACHED TO A CLIP IS WHERE THE LINE HAS A HOLE IN IT. THE CLIP HAD WORN A HOLE IN IT. THE CLIP THAT HOLDS IT, HAS 2 PIECES THAT ARE BEND DOWN THAT HOLD IT DOWN,AND THAT'S WHERE THE HOLE WAS WORN INTO MY LINE. *TR

WHEN I TURN THERE IS A POPPING NOISE THAT CAN ALSO BE FELT IN THE STEERING WHEEL ALSO WHEN I AM DRIVING AND FEEL A BUMP. THE FUEL WILL AT TIMES SHOW A FULL TANK THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN GO TO 1/4 TANK IT CHANGES ALL THE TIME AND IS NOT ACCURATE, I CANNOT DEPEND ON IT BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY KNOW HOW MUCH FUEL IT ACTUALLY HAS. THE DRIVER SEAT HEATER GOT EXTREMELY HOT AND WE WILL NOT USE BECAUSE ARE SCARED IT MIGHT BURN THRU THE SEAT SINCE IT ALREADY LEFT A SMALL BURN MARK. THE PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING WHEEL ON THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ALSO DID THE SAME ON ANOTHER CHEVROLET WE HAD AND HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS IS A BIG ISSUE WITH CHEVROLET VEHICLES. *TR
