2005 Chevrolet Silverado 2500

I HAVE A 2005 CHEVROLET 2500 HD WITH 57000 MILES AND THE BRAKE LINES ARE RUSTED INTO. I WAS GETTING READY TO HOOK MY TRAILER UP AND WAS BACKING AND HIT THE BRAKES AND THEY WENT TO THE FLOOR. IT WAS POURING FLUID OUT UNDER THE DOOR WHERE THE BRAKE LINE WAS RUSTED INTO. THIS TRUCK HAS NOT SEEN THAT MUCH SALT TO HAVE THIS HAPPEN. I HEAR THAT GM DOES NOT WHAT TO RECALL BECAUSE THEY SAY IT IS A MAINTENANCE ISSUE I BEG TO DIFFER. I HAVE A 1971 CHEVY PICKUP THAT HAS SEEN YEARS OF SALT AND WATER AND NONE HAVE EVER RUSTED LIKE THIS 2005 HAS. I GUESS THEY ARE WAITING TO SEE HOW MANY WILL DIE BEFORE THERE IS A PROBEM.

TRAVELING DOWN A HILL WHEN A DRIVER IN FRONT OF ME DECIDED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN RATHER ABRUPTLY, CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO MAKE A PANIC STOP. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SLOW, AND THEN NOTHING. (BRAKE LINE BURST-ED, WHICH I HAD BEEN TOLD LOOK RUSTED DURING LAST INSPECTION.) I BLEW THE HORN AND SWERVED TO LEFT LANE AND WENT AROUND THAT PERSON AND THEN DOWN THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD AVOIDING SEVERAL PEOPLE COMING THE OTHER DIRECTION. I MANAGE TO EVENTUALLY GET THE TRUCK STOPPED BY CONSTANTLY PUMPING THE BREAK AFTER HAVING MY LIFE FLASH IN FRONT OF MY EYES FROM NARROWLY AVOIDING MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS.

I PURCHASED MY 2005 CHEVROLET 2500HD DURAMAX IN MAY OF 2015. A WEEK LATER I WAS PULLED OVER FOR SPEEDING 10 OVER. MY TRUCK SHOWED I WAS DRIVING 55 MPH. I NOW HAVE A SPEEDING TICKET $114. I CONTACTED GM ABOUT THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID MY VIN# WAS NOT QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL AND I WOULD BE PAYING OUT OF POCKET ($535 INCLUDING LABOR). THE PART ALONE IS $350. NOW AT THE END OF THE DAY I WILL OWE $649 BECAUSE OF GM'S MISTAKE. I LOVE GM'S PRODUCTS, HOWEVER THEY DO NOT STAND UP TO THERE MISTAKES WHICH WILL MAKE ME THINK AGAIN BEFORE BUYING ONE. *TR
