RUSTED BRAKE LINES CAUSING BRAKE FAILURE. IN DEALER NOW FOR REPAIR. A COSTLY REPAIR DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY WERE ENGINEERED ON THE TRUCK TO NEVER BE REPLACED AS THE DEALER NEEDS TO LIFT THE TRUCK CAB OFF THE TRUCK TO REPLACE.. FEEL THIS CORROSION AND FAILURE IS PREMATURE AS I HAVE HAD OLDER VEHICLES THAT HAD HARDLY ANY CORROSION OR HAVE FAILED. I WAS LUCKY THAT I DID NOT GET HURT OR MY FAMILY. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
2000 GMC SIERRA BRAKE LINE CORROSION ISSUE. RUPTURED STEEL LINE BELOW THE DRIVERS DOOR. 1). AFTER A HARD STOP DUE TO OTHER MOTORIST PULLING OUT IN FRONT OF ME THE BRAKES WERE NOT AS FIRM AS BEFORE. 2). THE NEXT MORNING I FOUND AN OIL SPOT ON DRIVEWAY AND BRAKE RESERVOIR HALF EMPTY. INVESTIGATED AND FOUND HEAVILY CORRODED BRAKE LINES IN A GROUP OF FOUR BELOW DRIVERS DOOR AGAINST OUTSIDE OF FRAME. ONE LINE LEAKING FLUID BADLY. 3). I WENT TO GENERAL MOTORS TO PURCHASE NEW BRAKE LINES AND WAS TOLD THAT THE COME IN BULK ROLLS ONLY. THEY HAVE TO BE BENT TO SHAPE AND FLARED TO BE INSTALLED. THIS SEEMS LIKE A VERY LABOR INTENSIVE REPAIR AND WOULD BE VERY COSTLY. I AM WEIGHING MY OPTIONS. *TR

I HAVE A 2000 GMC SIERRA PICKUP TRUCK. TODAY I EXPERIENCED A TOTAL FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM; WHILE COMING UP TO A LIGHT ON A STREET WITH A SPEED LIMIT OF 50 MPH, I LOST ALL BRAKING ABILITY AND THE PARKING BRAKE WAS OF NO USE. THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT (THANK GOD) BUT AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP, A WEB SEARCH SHOWED A RECENT ARTICLE DESCRIBING SIMILAR FAILURES. THOUGHT I SHOULD FILE A COMPLAINT BEFORE SPEAKING WITH GM TOMORROW MORNING. *TR

IN THE LAST WEEK OF OCTOBER, 2009, MY FATHER AND I WERE PULLING A BUMPER HITCH CAMPING TRAILER WHEN THE TRUCK BRAKES FAILED. WE WERE ABLE TO LIMP THE REST OF THE WAY HOME BY USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND THE ELECTRIC ASSIST BRAKES ON THE CAMPER. WHEN WE HAD THE BRAKES INSPECTED, WE WERE TOLD THAT THE METAL BRAKE LINES ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE VEHICLE HAD CORRODED INSIDE THE FRAME, NEXT TO THE GAS TANK. THE BRAKE LINE WAS REPLACED AND NO FURTHER INCIDENT HAS ARISEN. *TR
