SERVICE BRAKES
VEHICLE WAS STOPPED. BRAKE PEDDLE WENT TO THE FLOORBOARD. NOT ABLE TO PUMP UP ANY PRESSURE. INVESTIGATION SHOWED BRAKE FLUID COMING FROM PERFORATED BRAKE LINE AT LEFT FRONT WHEEL. NO BRAKING ACTION AVAILABLE! APPEARS TO BE SOME TYPE OF CORROSIVE REACTION BETWEEN THE BRAKE LINE AND THE CLAMPS USED TO FASTEN THE LINE TO THE CHASSIS. NOTE: THIS VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN OPERATED IN SNOW OR ROAD SALT TO MY KNOWLEDGE.

SERVICE BRAKES
WITHOUT ANY WARNING, MY BRAKE LINES FAILED AND I COULD NOT STOP MY TRUCK. I LIVE IN THE NORTHEAST AND IT WOULD SEEM REASONABLE FOR BRAKE LINES TO RUST OUT. HOWEVER, MY TRUCK IS ONLY 10 YEARS OLD AND I HAVE SPENT THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS KEEPING IT WASHED, INCLUDING THE UNDERCARRIAGE. I HAVE NEVER HAD A BRAKE LINE FAIL ON ANOTHER CAR AND I HAVE DRIVEN SOME REALLY OLD VEHICLES. I HAVE ALSO NEVER HEARD OF ANYONE I KNOW HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES. THIS IS BECAUSE IT IS A SPECIFIC PROBLEM WITH GMC SIERRA AND CHEVY SILVERADO.

SUSPENSION, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
WHEN PULLING IN MY DRIVEWAY THE BRAKE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT CLEAR TO THE FLOOR. UPON INVESTIGATING I FOUND THE BRAKE LINES TO BE SEVERELY CORRODED. I WAS FORTUNATE NOT TO BE DRIVING AT A FASTER RATE OF SPEED ON THE OPEN ROAD. THAT SAME WEEK THE STEERING HAD BECOME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN LIKE IT WAS LOW ON FLUID, WHICH IT WAS NOT. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO HAVE BOTH FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS REPLACED ALONG WITH THE COMPUTER AT 400 MILES. *TR

THESE PARTS WERE RECALLED ON PREVIOUS GM VEHICLES IN THE SAME YEAR. THE FUEL SENSOR DOESN'T WANT TO READ CORRECTLY AND NOT KNOWING AMOUNT OF FUEL IN TANK. THE ABS SYSTEM OVER REACTS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ENGAGE WHILE DRY CONDITIONS ARE PRESENT AND ALARM TO SOUND. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
ANOTHER GM RUSTY BRAKE LINE FAILURE WHILE ATTEMPTING TO STOP ON A 2005 GMC SIERRA 1500. I DON'T EXPECT THINGS TO LAST FOREVER, BUT BRAKE LINES ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE SAFETY OF A VEHICLE AND THEY SHOULD NOT BE RUSTING TO FAILURE AT THIS POINT. I DON'T CARE WHAT THE CLIMATE IS. AT THIS POINT MY TRUCK IS IN THE SHOP GETTING FIXED ON MY DIME (GM REFUSES TO REPAIR IT). BUT THEY NEED TO LOOK INTO THIS. I HAVE WORKED ON/DRIVEN MANY MUCH OLDER CARS IN THE SAME CONDITION, AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN BRAKE LINES RUST TO THIS EXTENT IN 10 YEARS. MY LAST CAR WAS A 20 YEAR OLD MONTE CARLO THAT STILL HAD ORIGINAL BRAKE LINES. IN MY OPINION THIS HAS THE POTENTIAL TO TURN INTO BIGGER SAFETY ISSUE AT SOME TIME. IN MY OPINION, IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME. *TR
