WHEN COMING TO A STOP SIGN I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO STEER INTO A PARKING LOT AND COASTED TO A STOP. I HAD NO BRAKES FRONT OR REAR. WHEN I STOPPED AT THE PREVIOUS STOP SIGN THE BRAKES WORKED AS USUAL. AFTER HAVING THE PICKUP TOWED TO A REPAIR SHOP I WAS TOLD AND SHOWN THAT THE BRAKE LINES AT THE FRAME BEHIND THE LEFT TIRE HAD RUSTED THROUGH. THIS FAILURE CAME WITH NO WARNING AND AT NO TIME DID THE DASH BRAKE LIGHT COME ON.

I WAS DRIVING APPROX. 25 MPH WITHIN 100 FT. TOWARD A RED LIGHT. A TRUCK PULLING A TRAILER PULLED ACROSS THE ROAD IN FRONT OF ME. I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE PEDAL HELD FOR A SECOND AND THEN QUICKLY DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I WAS ABLE TO SWERVE TO THE RIGHT OF THE TRUCK, MISSING IT AND PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. REALIZING I ENCOUNTERED TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE I CAUTIOUSLY DROVE THE TRUCK INTO A MCDONALD'S PARKING LOT AT THE CORNER. THERE WAS NO BRAKE WARNING LIGHT COME ON. I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK. ON THE DRIVERS SIDE UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR THE UNDERSIDE WAS SOAKED WITH BRAKE FLUID. WHERE THE 4 BRAKELINES ARE BUNDLED TOGETHER DIRECTLY ON THE FRAME UNDER THE DRIVERS DOOR, ONE OF THE BRAKE LINES HAS A SPLIT IN IT. THE TRUCK IS PRESENTLY BEING EVALUATED FOR REPAIR.

I HAD JUST PICKED UP A TRAILER AT U HAUL AND WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HILL IN FRONT OF THEIR STORE TO FINISH SIGNING THE PAPERWORK. AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL I BEGAN TO APPLY THE BRAKES AND THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR. I CAME CLOSE TO RUNNING INTO THE U HAUL BUILDING BUT THE TRUCK FINALLY STOPPED JUST IN TIME. I PUT THE TRUCK IN PARK AND GOT OUT TO SEE WHAT HAPPENED. I WENT TO THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK, LOOKED UNDER AND SAW NOTHING. I WENT TO THE BACK OF THE TRUCK AND LOOKED UNDER AND THERE WAS FLUID STEADILY DRIPPING AND A HUGE PUDDLE OF BRAKE FLUID UNDER THE TRUCK. I DISCONNECTED THE TRAILER AND CALLED A FRIEND TO PICK ME UP. ONCE I GOT THE TRUCK HOME, I BEGAN SEARCHING FOR THE SOURCE OF THE LEAK (AT THIS POINT I THOUGHT I HAD BUSTED A BRAKE HOSE) I QUICKLY REALIZED THIS WAS NOT A BRAKE HOSE THAT HAD RUPTURED. THE BRAKE LINE THAT RUNS PAST THE GAS TANK AND REAR DIFFERENTIAL WAS RUSTED THROUGH AND HAD A HOLE IN IT. ALL OF THE BRAKE LINES WERE RUSTING IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I TOOK A PICTURE OF THE LINE WITH THE HOLE AND WENT OFF TO THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP. ONCE AT THE DEALERSHIP, I WAS TOLD BY THE YOUNG MAN WORKING THE PARTS COUNTER THAT CHEVROLET DID NOT SELL REPLACEMENT BRAKE LINES. HE TOLD ME THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BUY BULK BRAKE TUBING AND MAKE MY OWN LINES. I LET HIM KNOW THAT THE LINE THAT RUPTURED ON MY TRUCK HAD OVER 20 BENDS ON IT AND THAT THE LAST FOUR BENDS WOULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO BEND BY HAND. I GOT NOWHERE WITH CHEVROLET ON REPLACEMENT PARTS. I WOUND UP ORDERING NEW STAINLESS STEEL LINES FROM INLINE TUBE. I REPLACED ALL THE BRAKE LINES. WHILE TAKING THE FUEL TANK OUT SO I COULD INSTALL THE NEW BRAKE LINES......IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT ALL OF THE FUEL LINES WERE RUSTING ALSO. I REPLACED THEM AS WELL. CHEVROLET SHOULD NOT BE USING SUBPAR MATERIALS FOR ANYTHING. POOR QUALITY BRAKE AND FUEL LINES WILL GET SOMEONE SERIOUSLY HURT!! SHAME ON CHEVROLET :( *TR

I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH MY BRAKES AND STEERING WHEN I AM BRAKING AND TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT. THE POWER STEERING COMPLETELY GO OUT . I HAVE TO USE ALL ME STRENGTH TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. ONCE YOU COMPLETE THE TURN AND LET OFF THE BRAKE THE POWER STEERING COMES BACK THE STEERING WHEEL JERKS BACK IN PLACE. I HAVE REPLACED THE BOOSTER, SUPPLY LINES ON BRAKES, POWER STEERING PUMP AND SUPPLY LINES AND TRUCK STILLS HAS SAME PROBLEM. THE MECHANICS TELL ME THAT IT IS A DESIGN PROBLEM AND CHEVROLET WILL NOT RECALL AND REPAIR. ALL OWNERS OF THESE TRUCKS NEED HELP AS THIS IS A VERY DANGERS PROBLEM. I HAVE JUST SEEN ON THE NEWS THAT CHEVROLET IS RECALLING A LOT OF VEHICLES AND MY MODEL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED ALSO. *TR

THE BRAKE PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR, DUE TO A HOLE IN THE BRAKE LINE CAUSED BY EXTERNAL CORROSION. LUCKILY IT WAS NOT AT A STOP STREET, OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT.
