Brake lines failed on my 2007 gmc 1500 and my 2007 gmc 2500. It appears to be a common problem with gmc vehicles from 2003 to 2009. Why wasn't these vehicles recalled for this. I was told that gmc was offering a discounted price for failed brake lines, but the dealer charged me full price. $1,667.00. The discounted price was supposed to be $500.00.
