WHILE HARD ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID A VEHICLE, MY REAR BRAKE LINE BURST, AND I LOST ALL BRAKES. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO COME TO A STOP. NOW I HAVE A $400.00 BILL TO REPLACE RUSTED BRAKE LINES, THAT SHOULD HAVE NEVER RUSTED IN THE FIRST PLACE. *TR

WELL ABOUT MID 2012 THE BRAKE LINES JUST RUST OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TRUCK AND THE REAR. MY GIRL FRIEND WAS DRIVING IT TO WORK AND LOST ALL THE PEDAL PRESSURE. THANK GOD SHE WAS GOING UP IN THE PARKING GARAGE. RIGHT NOW I'M TRYING TO REPLACE LINE FUEL LINES. IT JUST STARTED POURING GAS OUT AFTER I JUST GOT TO WORK. I NURSED IT HOME AND MADE IT. THE RETURN LINE IS JUST ALL RUSTED OUT. THEN I NOTICED ALL THREE LINES WHERE ALL RUSTED OUT. IT'S TO BAD NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET I CAN'T AFFORD THIS! IT IS WELL KNOWN AND UNDERSTOOD BY MANY THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. ALSO TO TOP THAT THE FRAME LOOKS MORE RUSTED THAN THE 1989 DODGE I JUST GOT RIDE OF. I WASH UNDER THE TRUCK THROUGH OUT WINTER AND DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY IT'S SO BAD ALREADY. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 LATE AT NIGHT WHEN A DEER ENTERED MY LANE OF TRAVEL. I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE PEDAL BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. I LUCKILY AVOIDED THE DEER BY SWERVING. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE BACK TO MY RESIDENCE BY DRIVING IN FIRST GEAR AND USING THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. WHEN HOME I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED BRAKE FLUID LEAKING FROM ONE OF THE CORRODED BRAKE LINES ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE FRAME (DRIVER'S SIDE) WHERE IT BENDS TO GO INTO THE ABS MODULE. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE LINES ARE COMPLETELY CORRODED CLEAR UP ALONG THE FRAME AND WHERE THEY ENTER INTO THE BRAKE RESERVOIR. NOTICING THIS, I AM NOW GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE ALL OF THE LINES SO THAT I DON'T HAVE THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. THESE LINES ARE A DANGER AND SHOULD BE REPLACED BY GM. IF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN, AN ACCIDENT WOULD HAVE MOST LIKELY HAPPENED. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO ANYONE THAT IS READING THIS TO VISUALLY INSPECT YOUR BRAKE LINES. A LARGE PORTION OF THE LINES CAN BE SEEN BY SIMPLY LAYING DOWN IN THE AREA OF THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR TO THE FRONT WHEEL, AND LOOKING AT THE FRAME TO WHERE THEY ARE ATTACHED. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES
I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM HAVING DINNER WITH FRIENDS. LUCKILY FOR ME AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD IT WAS A LATE SATURDAY EVENING DURING A BEAUTIFUL FLORIDA SUMMER. I WAS DRIVING ON ULMERTON RD WHICH IS A 4 LANE RD IN PINELLAS COUNTY. I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 45 MPH AND THE LIGHT TURNED RED. I STARTED TO APPLY THE BRAKES PRETTY SOFTLY AS THE LIGHT WAS SOME DISTANCE AWAY. ALL OF THE SUDDEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND ALL THE BELLS AND WHISTLES ON THE DASH STARTED GOING OFF. I REALIZED I HAVE NO BRAKES. I START TO PANIC AND THEN DECIDE I BETTER TRY THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AS I DO NOT WANT TO RUN THE RED LIGHT AND GET INTO A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. I MUST EMPHASIZE THE ANGER I FELT AT THIS MOMENT AS MY WIFE USUALLY DRIVES THIS TRUCK AND THERE IS NO WAY SHE WOULD HAVE THOUGHT TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE WHICH IS RATHER DIFFICULT TO USE IN THE FIRST PLACE IN THIS TRUCK AS IT IS UP AND TO THE LEFT A GOOD WAYS. I USED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. APPLYING THE BRAKE AND THEN PULLING THE RELEASE WHICH IS NOT AN EASY TASK TO DO. MY BRAKE LINES WERE SO RUSTED THEY EXPLODED DOING 45 MPH. THIS TRUCK WAS PURCHASED BRAND NEW BY MY FATHER AND WAS GIVEN TO ME WHEN HE PASSED AWAY. HE HAD FREE CAR WASHES AT THE DEALERSHIP HE BOUGHT IT FROM AND HAD THE TRUCK WASHED CONSTANTLY. I AM FURIOUS THAT THIS $30,000+ VEHICLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTING ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. IN MY OPINION GM SOLD US A LEMON. THEY CHOSE TO PUT PROFIT BEFORE THE SAFETY OF ITS CUSTOMERS AND IF MY WIFE WAS DRIVING THIS VEHICLE DURING RUSH HOUR AS THIS VEHICLE IS USED FOR DAILY DRIVING TO AND FROM WORK COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED OR WORSE KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS NOT TO MENTION THE SAFETY OF ANY INNOCENT PEOPLE IN HER WAY. THIS REPORT IS BEING REPORTED 2 YEARS AFTER THE INCIDENT BECAUSE I DID NOT KNOW THIS SITE EXISTED AND I JUST SAW THE SAME COMPLAINT ON A FORUM WHICH MENTIONED THIS SITE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH, HE ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE BRAKES BUT THE BRAKE PEDAL SUNK ABNORMALLY INTO THE FLOORBOARD. THE CONTACT THEN ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BUT IT ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY CORRODED. AS A RESULT, THE BRAKE LINES AND THE CALIPERS WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,305.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN A HILL WHEN A CAR WENT THROUGH A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION. I SLAMMED ON MY BRAKES, IN A PANIC STOP, AND MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I DIDN'T HAVE ANY BRAKES SO I DROVE AROUND THE CAR ALMOST HITTING IT. THE OTHER CAR DIDN'T STOP AND I DROVE 5 MPH TO A PARKING LOT WHERE I LOOKED AND FOUND A PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE TRUCK. I TOOK IT TO MY AUTO SHOP AND HE SAID I BLEW OUT TWO BRAKE LINES. I HAD ALL THE BRAKE LINES REPLACED AT THE COST OF 2,269.99. *TR

I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING GARAGE WHEN THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME STOPPED TO PULL INTO A SPACE. I APPLIED MY BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO STOP TO AVOID COLLIDING WITH THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS ABLE TO PULL INTO A PARKING SPACE AND STOPPED BEFORE HITTING THE WALL IN FRONT OF ME. WHEN I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE, I OBSERVED FLUID POURING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT END BEHIND THE TIRE. I WAS NOT ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE AND CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO TOW IT TO MIDAS TO HAVE MY VEHICLE INSPECTED. WHEN THEY PUT MY VEHICLE UP ON THE LIFT, THE DRIVERS SIDE BRAKE LINES WERE ALL RUSTED AND CORRODED. THEY WERE ABLE TO REPAIR THE BRAKE LINE SYSTEM. I DID NOT HAVE ANY WARNING THAT THIS WAS GOING TO HAPPEN AND THERE WAS NO EVIDENCE OF ANY FLUID LEAKING IN MY DRIVEWAY. I TAKE VERY GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE GETTING THE OIL CHANGED WHEN SCHEDULED TO BE CHANGED, HAVING THE PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE DONE WHEN SCHEDULED, ROTATING THE TIRES WHEN I GET THE OIL CHANGED, HAVING ALL OF THE DIFFERENTIAL FLUIDS AND TRANSMISSIONS FLUID CHANGED WHEN SCHEDULED, CHANGING ALL BELTS WHEN SCHEDULED TO BE CHANGED, TAKING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALERSHIP WHEN THERE IS A RECALL, ETC. I HAVE ALL OF MY RECEIPTS AND VOUCHERS WHEN ALL OF THE ABOVE WAS COMPLETED. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THIS REPAIR COST ME $630.44 INCLUDING SALES TAX. I WOULD APPRECIATE A REFUND BECAUSE A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FUEL LEAKING FROM FUEL LINE NEAR FRONT OF GAS TANK. UPON INSPECTION, FUEL LINE WAS ROTTED THROUGH. FURTHER INSPECTION BY MECHANIC FOUND FUEL AND VAPOR RETURN LINES WERE ALL CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A LEAKING FUEL LINE COULD CAUSE A FIRE. ALL BRAKE LINES WERE REPLACED TWO YEARS AGO DUE TO CORROSION AND FAILURE OF A BRAKE LINE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO THE CORROSION. CHEVY DEALER REFUSED TO REPAIR THE BROKEN LINE, INSISTING THAT ALL BRAKE LINES MUST BE REPLACED DUE TO THE CORROSION. REAR BRAKE SHIELDS HAVE ALSO ROTTED AWAY, AND THE DIFFERENTIAL COVER IS ALSO ROTTING. THESE WILL ALSO REQUIRE REPLACEMENT. NONE OF THE CORRODED PARTS DESCRIBED HERE HAVE ANY KIND OF COATINGS TO PREVENT CORROSION. BRAKE AND FUEL LINE CORROSION ARE COMMON PROBLEMS ON THIS MODEL AND YEAR, AND CHEVROLET OR NHTSA DO NOT APPEAR TO BE ABLE OR WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHILE STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO CREEP FORWARD TOWARD PEOPLE IN THE CROSSWALK. DEPRESSING THE BRAKE PEDAL FURTHER RESULTED IN IT FADING, ENDING IN A FULLY DEPRESSED POSITION WITH NO MORE PEDAL TRAVEL AVAILABLE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD INTO THE CROSSWALK. PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL STOPPED VEHICLE MOVEMENT. AFTER STOPPING AND INSPECTING UNDER THE HOOD AND UNDER THE FRONT END OF VEHICLE SHOWED LEAKING BRAKE FLUID FROM ONE OF THE METALLIC BRAKE LINES SERVING THE RIGHT FRONT BRAKE. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL GM DEALER AND PLACING IT ON THE SERVICE RACK, INSPECTION SHOWED THAT ALL THE METALLIC BRAKE LINES ARE SEVERELY RUSTED OVER THE MAJORITY OF THE LINE SURFACE. THE RIGHT FRONT LINE DISINTEGRATED TO THE POINT WHERE THE LINE SEPARATED WHILE CHECKING THE CONDITION OF THE LINE. THE OTHER BRAKES LINES ARE RUSTED TO THE POINT WHERE FAILURE IS IMMINENT. ALL THE METALLIC BRAKE LINES FROM THE MASTER CYLINDER, DOWN TO THE ABS CONTROL MODULE AND THEN OUT TO EACH BRAKE CALIPER MUST BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE OF THE BRAKING SYSTEM CREATED A SERIOUS SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN BODILY INJURY TO THE PEDESTRIANS IN THE CROSSWALK. WITHOUT PLACING THE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL IT WOULD HAVE EVENTUALLY STRUCK A PEDESTRIAN. IN ADDITION TO THE BRAKE LINES, THE FUEL LINES SHOW EXCESSIVE RUST AS WELL. THE DEALER DOES NOT RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL LINES AT THIS TIME, BUT REPLACEMENT WILL BE REQUIRED IN THE NEAR FUTURE. *TR

TRAVELING AT 25MPH, MY WIFE LOST COMPLETE BRAKING AND RAN THROUGH A RED LIGHT. FORTUNATELY THE TIMING WAS SUCH THAT THERE WAS NO ACCIDENT. THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED AND HAVE NOT ILLUMINATED SINCE THE INCIDENT. DETERMINED THAT THE REAR BRAKE LINE HAD CORRODED AND RUPTURED CAUSING LOSS OF HYDRAULIC BRAKING CAPABILITIES. THANK GOD FOR EMERGENCY BRAKES, 1ST GEAR, AND AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER. *TR

I WAS COMING TO THE END OF MY DRIVEWAY AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND WASN'T PROVIDING ANY STOPPING POWER. THE END OF OUR DRIVEWAY HAS AN INCLINE AND I WAS ABLE TO USE THE EMERGENCY BRAKE BEFORE TRAVELING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I CHECKED THE BRAKE RESERVOIR TANK AND IT WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY EMPTY. I ADDED MORE BRAKE FLUID AND UPON APPLYING THE BRAKES, FLUID WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDERNEATH THE TRUCK. IT WAS DRIPPING FROM UNDERNEATH THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR AND ALSO FROM SOME PLACE FURTHER BACK ON THE TRUCK. I COULDN'T VERIFY WHETHER THE SOURCE NEAR THE BACK WAS A SEPARATE LEAK. ALL FOUR OF THE BRAKE LINES HAVE SIGNIFICANT RUST AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRUCK IS CURRENTLY NOT DRIVE-ABLE BECAUSE ANY NEW BRAKE FLUID IS IMMEDIATELY LEAKING OUT AND NOT PROVIDING ANY RESISTANCE TO THE BRAKE PEDAL. I'VE CHECKED THE BRAKE PADS AND ROTORS AND THEY ARE STILL IN ALMOST NEW CONDITION. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IN MY OPINION AND YET SEEMS VERY COMMON WITH THIS LINE OF TRUCKS IF YOU CHECK THIS FORUM AND OTHERS AVAILABLE ON THE INTERNET.

WAS PULLING INTO A PARKING LOT TOWING A TRAILER WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO AVOID OTHER VEHICLES AND GO IN CIRCLES TILL VEHICLE FINALLY WAS ABLE TO BE STOPPED. I HAD NO BRAKES AT ALL AND UPON INSPECTION FOUND THAT A BRAKE LINE HAD RUPTURED. I ALSO NOTICED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES UNDER THE VEHICLE WERE EXTREMELY CORRODED. THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DRASTIC HAD IT HAPPENED ON THE ROAD AT A STOP LIGHT OR INTERSECTION, I OR SOMEONE ELSE WOULD CERTAINLY HAD BEEN KILLED OR SERIOUSLY INJURED. I UNDERSTAND THAT NHTSA AND CHEVY ARE AWARE OF THE BRAKE LINE RUSTING OUT PROBLEM WITH THESE TRUCKS AND REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT ? *TR

AS MY SON WAS PULLING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY GOING DOWN THE STREET, WE NOTICED A LARGE PUDDLE OF FLUID IN OUR DRIVEWAY. WE CALLED HIM TO LET HIM KNOW AND HE COMMENTED "THAT MUST BE WHY I ALL OF SUDDEN HAVE NO BRAKES." WHAT AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION THIS COULD HAVE BEEN IF HE WAS GOING 55 MPH ON A HIGHWAY. AS A NEW, YOUNG DRIVER, I AM NOT SURE IF HE WOULD KNOW HOW TO REACT QUICK ENOUGH TO USE EMERGENCY BRAKE OR HOW TO STOP A TRUCK THIS SIZE WITHOUT BRAKES WORKING. AFTER MUCH INVESTIGATION ON-LINE, I FOUND OUT THAT THIS MAKE/MODEL/YEAR HAD AN ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF ISSUES WITH BRAKE LINES CORRODING WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT HAPPENED. I AM EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED IN CHEVROLET FOR NOT ISSUING A FORMAL RECALL IF THEY ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED AN EXTREMELY BAD ACCIDENT OR FATALITY. YOU CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON MY SON'S OR ANYONE'S LIFE. THEY NEED TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AT THE VERY LEAST BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

WAS MAKING A 3-POINT TURN ON A LOCAL RESIDENTIAL STREET, AND SUDDENLY, MY BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. SLOWED THE TRUCK DOWN ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING ANYTHING. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO REPAIR SHOP, AND NEEDED A RUSTED-OUT BRAKE LINE REPLACED. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE EXTREMELY RUSTY, AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ASAP. *TR

WHILE ON MY WAY TO WORK MONDAY MORNING THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE TRUCK BACK TO THE HOUSE TO INSPECT THE PROBLEM. I FOUND THAT THE BRAKE LINES WERE COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. THANK GOD I WAS ONLY A FEW MILES FROM THE HOUSE. I LIVE IN A RURAL AREA WITH STEEP AND WINDING MOUNTAIN ROADS AND HAVE TO DRIVE THE INTERSTATE TO GET TO WORK, THANK GOD IT DIDN'T HAPPEN THERE. IT HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING, A FEW PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR CHEVY PICKUPS. THE STEEL BRAKE LINES ARE A BAD DESIGN, I LIVE IN PA. WHERE THE BRAKE LINES ARE SUBJECT TO SALT THEY SHOULD BE STAINLESS STEEL. I'M SURE SOMEONE IS GOING TO GET KILLED IF THIS PROBLEM IS NOT RESOLVED. *TR
