WHILE DRIVING AT APP 50MPH I TRIED TO BRAKE TO AVOID A VEHICLE WHICH PULLED OUT IN FRONT OF ME AND MY PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. TO MY HORROR I HAD NO BRAKES!!!!!! LUCKILY MY 2002 GMC IS A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND I WAS ABLE TO DOWN SHIFT TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. USING MY TRANSMISSION AND FINALLY MY EMERGENCY BRAKE (WHICH RUSTED THROUGH THE YEAR BEFORE AND COST OVER $300. TO REPAIR)) I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND SAFELY STOP. MY AUTO WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME THE RUSTED THROUGH BRAKE LINES. IT COST ME OVER $2,000 FOR REPAIRS. *TR

I HAVE A 2002 GMC SIERRA SLE 1500 EXTENDED CAB PICK UP. I HAD THE TRUCK ON RAMPS. WHEN I BACKED OFF OF THE RAMPS, I HAD TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. SERVICE AND PARKING BRAKES. I COULD NOT STOP OR EVEN SLOW DOWN. THE TRUCK PROCEEDED DOWN A HILL BACKWARDS AND INTO A DITCH. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I IMMEDIATELY PUSHED THE PARKING BRAKE TO THE FLOOR. NO BRAKES AT ALL. AFTER FARTHER INVESTIGATION, FOUND THE HYDRAULIC BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS ALONG THE FRAME RAIL TO THE BACK BRAKES COMPLETELY CORRODED AND ALL FLUID LEAKING OUT. BRAKE LINE ALMOST CORRODED INTO TWO PIECES. THE PARKING BRAKE SHOES HAVE WORN DOWN TO METAL ON THE BACK OF THE SHOE. THIS IS THE SECOND SET OF PARKING BRAKE SHOES I HAVE REPLACED IN 70,000 MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED AND THESE TWO ISSUES SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING. I HAVE READ THAT THERE IS AN ONGOING INVESTIGATION INTO THE CORRODING BRAKE LINES AND A RECALL ON PARKING BRAKES, BUT ONLY ON STANDARD TRANSMISSION VEHICLES. MINE IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. HOW MANY MORE DAMAGED VEHICLES AND INJURIES OR DEATHS DOES IT TAKE FOR THE INVESTIGATION TO TURN INTO A RECALL? *TR

I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN AT THE END OF MY STREET AND WHEN I APPLIED THE BRAKES THE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOOR. I ROLLED TO A STOP IN A GRASSY AREA AND SAW BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM THE BASE OF THE VEHICLE. I BROUGHT IT IN TO MY MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE BRAKE LINES RUSTED OUT TO THE REAR BRAKES. HE REPLACED THE LINES FROM THE ABS PUMP TO THE REAR AXLE AND THE BRAKE LINES FROM THE REAR AXLE TO THE REAR CALIPERS. THE COST TO REPLACE THE SE LINES WAS $433.46. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO THIS VEHICLE SEE ODI NUMBER 10402034. *TR
