WHEN ATTEMPTING TO BRAKE, THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT COMPLETELY TO THE FLOOR, CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO THE OTHER LANE. NO WARNING LIGHTS, NO SOFT PEDAL..........NOTHING. HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP. ALL THE BRAKE LINES WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF NINE HUNDRED EIGHTY DOLLARS. THE SHOP OWNER STATED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHEVROLET TRUCKS FROM 1999 TO 2004 AND THAT HE AVERAGES ABOUT ONE A WEEK. THE NEW LINES WERE MADE OF STAINLESS STEEL, NOT THE INFERIOR GRADE METAL LINES THAT CHEVROLET INSTALLED ON THE TRUCK WHEN MANUFACTURED. ALTHOUGH I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED CHEVROLET TRUCKS IN THE PAST, I AM OUTRAGED THAT GM WOULD PUT PROFITS ABOVE PUBLIC SAFETY AND WILL NEVER BUY ANY GM PRODUCT AGAIN. *TR
