I DO ALL OF MY WORK ON MY CARS BUT THIS LOOKS RIDICULOUS WHERE DO YOU START RIP THEM ALL OUT AND REPLACE ALL?

WHILE PULLING INTO A STORE PARKING LOT THE BRAKES GAVE OUT, CAUSING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO GO STRAIGHT TO THE FLOOR. UPON INSPECTION I NOTICED A BRAKE LINE COMPLETELY ROTTED GOING TO THE REAR SPLITTER NEAR THE FRAME AND ELECTRICAL HARNESS. THE REST OF THE LINE SEEMS PERFECTLY INTACT SO THIS SECTION OF LINE SHOULD NOT HAVE DETERIORATED. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM FOR CHEVY OWNERS. I HOPE THAT THIS ISSUE IS LOOKED INTO AND A RESOLUTION IS FOUND BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR WORSE. INCIDENTALLY, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED. *JS

AFTER THE FLUID WAS GONE THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO BRAKES TO EVEN PANIC STOP. THERE IS ALSO EXTENSIVE RUST UNDER THE TRUCK EVEN THOUGH UNDERCOATING WAS APPLIED IN THE FACTORY. *TR

THE BRAKES ON MY TRUCK TAKE FOREVER TO WORK. I HAVE REPLACED THE ABS SENSOR AND BEARING AND FUSE AND THE LIGHTS CONTINUE TO COME ON AFTER I DRIVE A MILE AFTER STARTING IT UP. THIS IS VERY SCARY. IF I NEEDED TO STOP SUDDENLY IT WOULD CAUSE A CRASH. I HAVE RESEARCHED AND I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE DO A RECALL. CHEVY HAS ALREADY DONE A RECALL FOR THE SAME BREAK SYSTEM FOR THE 00' TO '05 SILVERADO. THIS HAS POTENTIONAL TO HURT MY FAMILY AND MAYBE SOMEONE ELSE'S. *TR

TIRES, TIRES:SIDEWALL
FOUR BUBBLES ON THE SIDEWALL OF MY TIRE APPEARED - I TOOK THE TIRE TO A GOODYEAR DEALER AND HE CONCLUDED THAT THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING WHEN I BOUGHT IT. IT HAD 10,000 MILES ON THE TIRE WITH ORIGINAL TIRE TREAD OF 7/32 - IT NOW HAS 6/32 TREAD. GOODYEAR GAVE ME A $80.00 DISCOUNT ON A NEW TIRE - I CALLED THEM AND ASKED FOR A 100% DISCOUNT SINCE THE TIRE WAS DEFECTIVE FROM THE BEGINNING. I HAVE THREE OTHER TIRES ON THE TRUCK ALL GOODYEAR TIRES AND IT APPEARS THEY COULD BE DOING THE SAME THING. I ALSO DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS RECALL ON GOODYEAR WRANGLER TIRES HAVING THE SAME ISSUES JUST NOT ON MY TIRE SINCE IT IS MUCH LARGER AND NOT THAT POPULAR. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, POWER TRAIN, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC, SUSPENSION, AIR BAGS
ROTTEN BRAKE LINES. I LOOKED AT THE BRAKE LINES WHILE CHANGING MY OIL. MY TRUCK HAS 47K ON IT. I CALLED GM. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD TO BRING IT TO A DEALER. I DID. THEY CONFIRMED THAT THE BRAKE LINES ARE BAD AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. $1500 ALSO THE TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES ARE LEAKING. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH ALMOST ALL OF THE BRAKE PROBLEMS LISTED ON THIS WEB CITE. ABS LIGHT COMES ON, TWICE, 2ND TIME I REPLACED THE LEFT HUB BEARING ASSEMBLY. THE 1ST TIME THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT ABS SENSORS. AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON, I REPLACED A BAD FRONT AIR BAG SENSOR, RIGHT SIDE. THIS TRUCK IS TURNING INTO A MONEY PIT!!!!! THIS NEW (ROTTEN LINES) ISSUE IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS WAS THE ABS ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO DO A FULL RECALL AND REPLACE THE BRAKE LINES BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR
