SERVICE BRAKES
I LOST MY BRAKES TOTALLY NOT JUST HALF OF THEM PULLING A SMALL TRAILER WITH IRON GOING DOWN A LONG HILL IN MANKATO, MN. ON MADISON AVE. I REAR ENDED A PICK UP WHICH PULLED OVER AND I CONTINUED ROLLING DOWN THE HILL BUILDING SPEED SO I HAD TO DRIVE MY TRUCK INTO A WALL WITH MY DAUGHTER INSTEAD OF REACHING THE NEXT INTERSECTION. GM HAS NOW CHANGED THEIR BRAKE LINES IN TO STAINLESS STEAL SINCE 2003 BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR BRAKE LINES. MY BRAKE LINES ARE ON TOP OF FRAME RUNNING BACK TO THE REAR AXLE WITH THE GAS TANK BLOCKING MOST OF THE LINES. THERE IS ONLY 1.5 INCHES BETWEEN THE FRAME AND BODY. ALONG SIDE IS THE WIRING HARNESS GOING BACK TO THE REAR, NO ROOM TO INSPECT OR SEE YOUR BRAKE LINES. THIS COULD OF BEEN SO WORSE BECAUSE OF ALL THE TRAFFIC AND OUR LIVES. DO SOMETHING PLS... POLICE REPORT 18-25773 MANKATO POLICE DEPT. BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED!

I HAVE TWO CRACKS ON MY DASHBOARD. ONE DEVELOPED OVER THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE ONE MORNING BEFORE LEAVING FOR WORK. THE TRUCK ALWAYS SITS IN THE SHADE AND OUT OF THE SUN...IT WASNT EVEN HOT THE DAY IT HAPPENED SO HEAT CAN'T POSSIBLY BE AN ISSUE. THE SECOND CRACK DEVELOPED ABOVE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND HAPPENED DURING THE WINTER....I WAS DRIVING FROM CHICAGO TO WISCONSIN AND THE TRUCK HAD BEEN WARM FOR A GOOD HOUR ALREADY WHEN I HEARD A POP. LOOKED OVER THE DASH AND SAW THE CRACK!
