2000 GMC SIERRA 2500 Complaints

WAS USING MY TRUCK TO TOW ANOTHER CAR ON A TRAILER AT THE TIME. WENT TO STOP FROM ABOUT 40 MPH. MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. WITHOUT WARNING. FOUND THAT ALL BRAKE LINES ON THE TRUCK WERE RUSTED AND HAD BLOWN OUT. *TR

STEEL BRAKE LINE RUPTURED UNDER TRUCK CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKES WHILE TOWING A BOAT. *TR

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. *TR

RIGHT REAR MANIFOLD BOLT BROKE ALLOWING EXHAUST LEAK WITH ACCOMPANYING NOISE. REPAIRS WERE MADE WITH SUBSEQUENT FAILURE. DEALERS DECLINED ANY TYPE OF WARRANTY OR OTHER ASSISTANCE. SUBJECT BOLT HAS FAILED FOR THIRD TIME. *TR
