Thank goodness no one was hurt, and no vehicle hit when my brake lines burst on this vehicle. When repaired the mechanic said they basically rotted off from rust and that this is a very common problem on these vehicles. I understand some maintenance is normal on any truck, but being able to use your fingers to crumble parts of the brake line is not. You need to investigate this before people are hurt or killed, if…

The original flexible brake hose on the front passenger side of my 2000 gmc sierra vehicle failed resulting in the loss of front brakes. It appears that the hose is too long and the hose rubbed on the rim. The delco replacement that i purchased has been totally redesigned. It is much shorter and the connection to the caliper has to be angled at a 45 degree angle, so that the will be no contact with the rim. After…

While driving home i pushed the brake pedal and experienced a ruptured brake line under the drivers side door. Luckily no crash occurred because i was on a back road with no traffic. After inspection it was confirmed that all brake lines were very badly corroded and all were ready to fail. The worst damage appeared near the wheels which i would assume is due to road salt and moisture. *tr

I have a 2000 gmc sierra that had brake line rust through causing brake failure. I got under the vehicle to try and change the line and found all the lines are severely rusted as is the fuel lines. Yes my truck is old and i live in the rust belt of n.y but something needs to be done either n.y stop using salt or the vehicles need to be built with lines that don't rust out. This issue i think is a safety issue that…

Anti lock brake sensor corrosion causes low speed braking failure. Driving at less than 5 mph was terrifying. Almost hitting pedestrians at a crosswalk, rolling into an intersection, and almost hitting a stopped car in front of me. I took the truck to the dealer and they verified the corroded sensors. This was a recalled issue already complied with. No help from gm. They said the burden was mine. *kb

Brakes failed entirely. Luckily i had an emergency brake. 7 brake lines had rusted out and had to be replaced. - cost $1076. I have also had to replace my rear brakes 3 times in 86000 miles. Front brakes were replaced only once. Mechanic says that perhaps the proportioning value is ng. There was a recall but gm said it did not include my vehicle. I think this was a lie. *tr

3rd time brakes/rotors have been replaced. This time i found i needed to replace the front calipers also. I have a detailed vehicle repair history from the day it was first purchased. The brakelines are in bad shape. While bleeding the brakes after installation, i had one of the lines rupture from corrosion. Upon inspection of all brakelines, i find it necessary to replace all brakelines for the safety of myself and…

Driving toward an intersection i applied the brakes. As i pressed more firmly the pedal gave less resistance and eventually to the floorboard. The vehicle rolled into the intersection and eventually stopped. Not seeing any type of brake warning on dash i proceeded home slowly with little stopping power. When i inspected underneath the vehicle, i noticed that the brake lines were leaking like running water and…
